How weight butter

In many recipes I am reading the amount of butter neeeded is measured in tablespoon , cup , half stick etc but unfortunately I have in the refrigerator a big chunk of butter that is not in easy stick ready to be divide , my question is how translate this measure in ounces or grams and do any difference in the recipe, are any specific conversion table for butter ?

        Thanks for the help , Marco

Hi Marco,

A pound of butter should weight 16 ounces. That means that one stick ( half cup) should weight four ounces, and half a stick (4 tbsp, 1/4 cup )should weigh two ounces, etc.

Enjoy!
