}Explanation
Convert butter (salted) teaspoons to grams with an ingredient-specific teaspoon reference derived from the shared cup basis.
The gram result stays more consistent than a generic teaspoon chart. 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.
