Quick answers

Where these numbers come from

USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy, food 04610: “Margarine, regular, 80% fat, composite, stick, with salt”. USDA lists these household measures for it:

  • 1 tbsp = 14g
  • 1 cup = 227g
  • 1 tsp = 4.7g
  • 1 pat (1" sq, 1/3" high) = 5g
  • 1 stick = 113g

Fractions of a cup are the cup weight scaled down. Metric-cup figures assume a 250ml cup, and Australian tablespoons hold 20ml. Weights under 10g are rounded to 0.1g, everything else to the nearest gram. Full source list.
