Measuring 300g 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, 300 Grams (300g) translates to 1.32 US cups (1 ⅓ cups). By contrast, using the melted butter (liquid) measure (227g/cup — an identical per-cup density), 300g occupies 1 ⅓ cups (1.32 cups).
In US stick markings, 300g corresponds to 2.64 butter sticks (21.15 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.
