Measuring 175g of Unsalted Butter in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of unsalted butter weighs 227g when measured packed into cup / 2 sticks, 175 Grams (175g) translates to 0.77 US cups (¾ cup + 1 tsp). By contrast, using the melted butter (liquid) measure (227g/cup — an identical per-cup density), 175g occupies ¾ cup + 1 tsp (0.77 cups).
In US stick markings, 175g corresponds to 1.54 butter sticks (12.33 tablespoons). In the US, 1 standard stick equals 1/2 cup (8 tablespoons or 113.5g); two sticks equal exactly 1 cup (227g). When packing softened butter from a block, press out air gaps.
