1 gram of butter = 0.00882 US sticks. 1 stick = 113.4 g, so divide grams by 113.4 to get sticks. Example: 227 g = 2 sticks.
| Gram (g) | Stick of butter |
|---|---|
| 28.35 g | 0.25 stick |
| 50 g | 0.440917 stick |
| 100 g | 0.881834 stick |
| 113.4 g | 1 stick |
| 150 g | 1.32275 stick |
| 200 g | 1.76367 stick |
| 226.8 g | 2 stick |
| 250 g | 2.20459 stick |
| 300 g | 2.6455 stick |
| 454 g | 4.00353 stick |
To convert grams of butter to US sticks, divide by 113.4. A European recipe specifying 100 g of butter calls for just under 1 US stick (0.88 sticks); 250 g is just over 2 sticks (2.20 sticks). For most recipes, rounding to the nearest half stick is accurate enough.
The stick measure only makes sense when whole or half sticks are used — tablespoon markings on the wrapper help, as each tablespoon mark on a US stick represents 14.2 g (⅛ stick). A full stick has 8 tablespoons; half a stick has 4 tablespoons.
When a recipe specifies grams of butter, using the wrapper markings is the easiest approach without a scale: each tablespoon line = 14.2 g, each quarter-stick mark = 28.35 g (1 oz). For baking where precision matters most, weighing on a kitchen scale is the reliable method regardless of which unit you start from.
200 grams equals 1.76 sticks of butter.
250 grams equals 2.20 sticks, which is slightly more than 2 full sticks.
100 grams equals 0.88 sticks — almost 1 full stick.
