Butterstück (Stick of Butter)

Definition

Ein Stick Butter ist ein US-amerikanisches Backmaß gleich 1/2 Cup, 8 Esslöffel, 1/4 Pfund oder ungefähr 113 Gramm.

Erklärung

US butter is sold in 1-pound packages containing 4 sticks, each pre-wrapped and marked with tablespoon gradations for easy slicing. European and most other butter is sold in block form without this convention, making the 'stick' a distinctly American shorthand. For precision, weighing butter in grams is preferred, as butter density varies slightly with temperature and brand.
