Measuring 30g of Salted Butter in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of salted butter weighs 227g when measured packed into cup / 2 sticks, 30 Grams (30g) translates to 0.13 US cups (⅛ cup). By contrast, using the melted butter (liquid) measure (227g/cup — an identical per-cup density), 30g occupies ⅛ cup (0.13 cups).
In US stick markings, 30g corresponds to 0.26 butter sticks (2.11 tablespoons). Follow stick wrapper tablespoon markings or weigh directly on a scale. Contains roughly 1/4 teaspoon (1.5g) of added salt per half-cup stick.
