Butter by the stick
A US stick of butter is 4 oz (113.4 g), half a cup, with 8 tablespoon marks on the wrapper. One tablespoon is 113.4 ÷ 8 = 14.175 g, which labels round to 14 g or 14.2 g. Salted and unsalted weigh the same. A European 250 g block has no tablespoon marks, so weigh it, or cut it by eye at 14.2 g a tablespoon.
