Science Note: Precision within +/-0.002g
Accuracy: +/-0.002gHow this is calculatedWe multiply the volume by the ingredient's specific density (g/ml) from NIST-standardized reference data. This accounts for how tightly each ingredient packs, giving accuracy within +/-0.002g.Source: NIST-DB-72
Why this conversion matters
Peanut Butter has a density of 1.08 g/ml, which means it's close to the density of water. Using weight-based measurements gives you consistent results every time.
Recipe Context for Peanut Butter
For seed gels: hydration ratio directly affects binding strength.
For toppings: weight gives consistent coverage and bake color.
Common Pitfalls
- Switching brands without re-checking weight can change texture and bake time.
- Using volume-only measurements for dense ingredients can overshoot recipe targets.
Brand Variance Example
Baseline on this page: 1 cup peanut butter = 258g. Real-world range can shift by about 9% because cut size, grind consistency, and oil content alter packing behavior.
Example for 2 cups: baseline 516g, common range 470g-562g. If your bake is texture-sensitive, start with the lower bound and adjust after a test batch.
