Measuring Tip
Peanut butter should be stirred before measuring if the oil has separated. An unmixed jar will give inconsistent measurements.
Understanding the Units
What is a Tablespoon?
A tablespoon is roughly the volume of a large soup spoon. In precise terms, 1 US tablespoon equals 14.787 ml, which is very close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most of the world. Three teaspoons make one tablespoon.
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.

Weighing is more consistent than volume measuring. A tablespoon of peanut butter can vary by 10-20% depending on how it's scooped, packed, or leveled. Weighing gives the same result every time, which is especially important in baking where precision affects texture and rise.
