1 3 Cup Butter In Ounces

1 1/3 Cup Butter in Ounces: The Complete Kitchen Conversion Guide

If a recipe calls for 1 1/3 cups of butter and your kitchen scale only reads ounces, you are looking at roughly 10.67 ounces, or about 302 grams. That single number unlocks the conversion, but the reason it works out that way — and why the answer shifts slightly depending on how you measure — is worth understanding before your next bake.

Why 1 Cup of Butter Equals 8 Ounces

Butter in the United States is sold in a format designed to make measuring simple. A standard stick of butter weighs 4 ounces (113 grams) and equals 1/2 cup, or 8 tablespoons. Two sticks, therefore, make one cup and weigh 8 ounces net weight.

This gives you the foundation for nearly every butter conversion you will ever need:

• 1 tablespoon butter = 0.5 oz = 14 g
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) = 4 oz = 113 g
• 1 cup (2 sticks) = 8 oz = 227 g

Because the relationship is linear, scaling up is straightforward arithmetic. Multiply the number of cups by 8 to get ounces.

The Direct Answer: 1 1/3 Cups in Ounces

Working from the 8-ounce-per-cup standard:

1 1/3 × 8 = 10.67 ounces

That is 10 ounces and 2/3 of an ounce, or in more practical kitchen terms, 10.6 ounces. In grams, multiply by 28 Worth keeping that in mind..

10.67 × 28.35 = approximately 302 grams

How to Measure It Without a Scale

If you only have measuring cups and spoons, break the amount into pieces you can actually portion:

• 2 full sticks (1 cup) = 8 oz
• Plus 5 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon (1/3 cup) = 2.67 oz

So 1 1/3 cups of butter = 2 sticks + 5 tbsp + 1 tsp. If your butter comes in a block with tablespoon markings on the wrapper, cut 21 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon total That's the part that actually makes a difference..
