Oil to Butter Converter
Reverse the common three-quarter-cup oil to one-cup butter baking substitution while keeping texture caveats visible.
A useful starting ratio
This calculator reverses the common baking guideline that 3/4 cup oil can replace 1 cup butter. Therefore butter volume equals oil volume divided by 0.75.
Butter contains water and milk solids, so it cannot behave exactly like oil. Creaming, spread, tenderness, browning, and flavour may change.
