}Explanation
Convert ounces by weight of butter (salted) to US cups with the same ounce-per-cup reference used in reverse.
Recipe or label weights can therefore be measured in cups on one consistent basis. That is especially useful for baking, pie crusts, traditional pastry, and savory doughs where the ingredient may be solid in the jar but measured as a liquid volume. Butter (Salted) changes behavior a lot between solid and melted states, so the page keeps one liquid-state basis instead of mixing scooped solids with poured volume.
