Frequently asked questions
How many grams is 1 cup of milk?
One cup of milk weighs about 240 g. Most liquid dairy is close to this — buttermilk 227 g, heavy cream 232 g, sour cream 230 g and yogurt 245 g.
How many grams is 1 cup of butter?
One cup of butter weighs 227 g, which is 2 sticks. Half a cup is about 113 g — a single stick.
Is a cup of oil the same weight as a cup of butter?
No. A cup of vegetable, olive or coconut oil weighs about 216–218 g, a little less than butter's 227 g, because liquid oil is less dense than solid fat.

Shredded cheddar or mozzarella is about 113 g per cup and finely grated parmesan around 100 g. Soft cheeses are much heavier — cream cheese and ricotta are roughly 227–232 g per cup.
