Single-conversion pages for peanut butter

Working with peanut butter

Peanut Butter sits in the nuts, seeds & butters group, where the ingredient is denser than water, so a cup weighs more than 240 g and volume errors translate into large weight errors. Natural peanut butter separates. Stir it fully before measuring, or the ratio of oil to solids is off.

If you are converting a whole recipe rather than a single line, the Recipe to Metric converter matches every ingredient to its own density in one pass, and the Recipe Scaler resizes the batch first so you only convert once.
