Frequently asked questions
How many grams is 1 tablespoon of butter?
1 tablespoon of butter is 14 grams, based on 227 g per level US cup.
Is a tablespoon the same everywhere?
Almost. US and UK tablespoons hold about 15 ml and teaspoons about 5 ml. Australia is the exception: an Australian tablespoon is 20 ml (4 teaspoons), so use ¾ of an Australian tablespoon to match a US one.
Should I weigh butter or measure it by volume?
