Often they tell me that I need a stick of butter. Here in the UK, we don't use sticks, so I wondered if someone would kindly weigh a stick of butter at some point and let me know the weight either in grams or ounces?
I have tried looking online and different sites tell me different things, which is very confusing and guarantees disastrous results!
By the way, have you noticed the new quilt in my header? I reluctantly decided that my Crazy Christmas Trees had to be put away now we're in February, but couldn't decide what to replace it with. Then I realised that February is Valentine month, so I really should have a red quilt. So what did I do? Turned Crazy Christmas Trees over! Simple. I have a reversible quilt that I am very happy with. Mind you, It had been like this for several days before Mr Fixit looked at it last night and said "when did you make that quilt?" It's good to have someone so observant around.
A stick of butter is equivilant to a half cup...does that help?
ReplyDeleteAnd 4 sticks make a lb...
ReplyDelete1 stick = 113.398 092 5 gram -- I do believe I would round it either up or down.
ReplyDeletequarter of a pound, because 4 sticks make a one pound block.
ReplyDeleteCan't help with the butter sticks, none around in this neck of the world :-) Nice Quilt !!!!
ReplyDeleteHope things are improving on the health side of life.
Luv....AJ
Yep, a stick of butter is 4 oz, 1/4 pound, or 1/2 cup. that should be easier for you to translate. Whatcha making?
ReplyDeleteSo glad you asked this question, I've been wondering the same thing myself. Nice to have it cleared up. We don't have sticks of butter here in Canada, either.
ReplyDeleteYour red quilt looks wonderful!! Lucky you to get 2 for 1.
ReplyDeleteWe don't buy butter in sticks here either so I don't know. I would love to know how British gram measurements equate with our 1/4, 1/2, 1/3, 1/2 etc cup measurements.
ReplyDeleteAren't you glad now you had a go at the pieced backing? Looks wonderful, hope you will do this again :}
ReplyDeleteSorry Mr.Fixit, but typical male question. Hubby does same.
ReplyDeleteA stick is 4 oz :)
ReplyDeleteYup,Trudi beat me to it! A stick is 4oz. :)
ReplyDeleteA stick of butter is 113 grams with the paper around it.
ReplyDeleteI hope that helps.
I always thought the more butter, the better! *wink*
ReplyDeleteLooks like you got the butter question answered. Love the way the Christmas quilt looks flipped over. Men are funny aren't they?
ReplyDeleteLove your reversible quilt...great idea to turn it over and enjoy the back!
ReplyDeleteyour quilt looks great!
ReplyDeletelooks like the butter question has been solved -
Your header pic is the first thing I noticed....and I LOVE it. Who knew the back was just as pretty as the front. Just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI'd tell you about the stick of butter, but you're clearly covered there now. LOL, anymore baking questions? Hehehe. Great idea turning the quilt over for this month. Just as well Mr. Fixit didn't know it was reversible, now you can tell him you need more fabric because you've made this whole other quilt, he didn't even know about. Uh hu right.
ReplyDeleteHow does your butter come if not in sticks?
ReplyDeleteHere in Switzerland, our butter comes in 250 gram blocks. I've just learned to slice it in half lengthwise and that gives me roughly what I would have in a stick (plus just a bit extra). It's interesting that they use "cups" in the US since it really is so much easier to measure by weight! I've really enjoyed looking at your blog. Great work!
ReplyDeleteI am sure someone answered your questions.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of just flipping it over....
