It comes in sticks?

Some recipes here need "a stick of butter" as an ingredient. Can someone please tell me how much a stick of butter weighs? (I couldn't find it on that "conversion site")

Thanks

A stick of butter is approximately equal to one cup of butter... and I *think* it would be about equivalent to one quarter of a pound, since a box of butter generally is one pound, and there's four sticks in a box. :P

Hopefully that's enough to help you out, anyway. ;)

113 grams -- if the information on my box is correct anyway.

OMG
Let me stick my two pence (er cents) in...

This will help no one, but let me add that about 10 years ago my son-in-law got me a wonderful British Tea cookbook and with it, he gave me a wonderful plastic measuring cup which gave fluid ounces, (the other) ounces, grams, and all the other things that make our lives miserable...it didn't matter what silly-ass measurements the recipe called for, this cup had it. I'm looking at it to get an idea who made it, but the only manufacturer designator is "made in England"..like I said, this will not help you, except to let you know that such a measuring cup exists. I use is all the time for Indian cooking which also uses Metric,uh, things....
