Margarine (Stick, 80% Fat): mL to Grams Conversion
Stick margarine is formulated to mimic butter's consistency for baking. Unlike tub margarine (which has more water/air), stick margarine is stable. However, measuring it by volume relies on the wrapper markings which can be misaligned. Weight allows you to use exactly what the recipe needs, ensuring structure.

How this conversion works
Milliliters measure volume while grams measure weight. Because Margarine (Stick, 80% Fat) has a density of 0.959 g/mL, 10 mL weighs 10 g — not 10 g as it would for water. This converter uses the real density of Margarine (Stick, 80% Fat) so every measurement is accurate.
Measurement notes
Values are rounded to the nearest whole gram. Actual weight can vary slightly with compaction, temperature, and brand. For precision baking, a kitchen scale is always more reliable than volume measurements.
FAQ
- Can I use tub margarine instead of stick?
- Not recommended for baking. Tub margarines contain more water and air to be spreadable; this will make cookies spread too much and cakes soggy.
