Measuring 500g 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, 500 Grams (500g) translates to 2.20 US cups (2 cups + 3 tbsp + ¾ tsp). By contrast, using the melted butter (liquid) measure (227g/cup — an identical per-cup density), 500g occupies 2 cups + 3 tbsp + ¾ tsp (2.20 cups).
In US stick markings, 500g corresponds to 4.41 butter sticks (35.24 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.
