Butter Density & Culinary Profile

Two cups of butter equal 1 US pint, weighing approximately 0.95 pounds (approx. 15.2 ounces).

Measurement Basis: Standard salted or unsalted solid dairy block (80% butterfat minimum).

The 1-to-1 Culinary Rule: 1 Pint of Butter = Exactly 1 Pound

In American culinary weights and measures, butter is the rare household staple where "a pint is a pound" is 100% exact. Standard commercial butter is packaged in 1-pound blocks consisting of 4 quarter-pound sticks. Because 1 stick = 1/2 cup (4 fl oz), 4 sticks = 2 cups = 1 US Liquid Pint = 16.0 ounces = 1.0000 lb (453.59 grams).

How the Weight of 1 Pint of Butter is Calculated

Converting butter from volume to gravitational mass requires multiplying volumetric capacity by physical density, then converting grams into avoirdupois pounds:

1. Volume = 1 US Liquid Pint = 473.176 mL
2. Calibrated Density (ρ) = 0.9110 g/mL (USDA FoodData Central)
3. Mass (Grams) = 473.176 mL × 0.9110 g/mL = 431.1 g
4. Mass (Pounds) = 431.1 g ÷ 453.59237 g/lb = 0.9503 lb (15.21 oz)

* Calibration Source: USDA FoodData Central. Calibrated at standard culinary temperature (20°C / 68°F) under 1 atm pressure.
