Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 216 teaspoons of butter
- 1 teaspoon of butter = 4.73g
- 216 × 4.73 = 1,021.5g
- Convert grams to ounces: 1,021.5 ÷ 28.3495 = 36.03 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Softened butter and melted butter measure differently by volume. Melted butter settles with no air pockets, giving a slightly higher weight per cup.

Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
In baking, teaspoon measurements are critical for ingredients where precision changes the outcome. Too much baking soda (1 tsp = 6g) creates a metallic taste, while too little means flat results.
What is an Ounce?
Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
