I keep finding wonderful recipes on epicurious.com but so many have 1 or, 3/4 of, or 2 and a 1/2 sticks of butter. Us poor chefs "down under" in Sunny Australia have no idea what a stick of butter is or how much it weighs, in imperial or metric..... Please advise... Thanking you already...

Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

A pound of butter is divided into four sticks, each weighing 0.25 lb (about 113 g). The sticks are individually wrapped in waxed paper, a scale is printed on the paper to facilitate cutting off pieces by length, in teaspoon and tablespoon increments. The butter is slightly whipped so a stick has a volume of 4 fl oz or 0.5 cup. Thus the stick is 8 tablespoons or 24 teaspoons. (We may have a different tablespoon, ours is about 15 mL, and a teaspoon about 5 mL)
