things people ask

• How many tablespoons of peanut butter make one sandwich?
  Most people use 1.5 to 2 tablespoons (25-34 g) for a single PB&J — one tablespoon spreads thin across a slice, two gives you the thicker layer that doesn't soak through. The nutrition panel's 2-tablespoon serving size matches the upper end of this range, which is why a jar's serving count gives a reasonable sandwich count too.
• How much peanut butter goes into a single smoothie?
  One to two tablespoons (17-34 g) is the usual range for one smoothie. One tablespoon adds nutty flavor and a bit of body without dominating; two tablespoons makes peanut butter the lead note. For a single-serve satay-style dressing, one tablespoon thinned with soy sauce, lime, and water covers about a cup of noodles.
• Why does peanut butter stick to the tablespoon so badly?
  Its high fat content and tackiness mean it grips metal. Warming the spoon under hot water for a few seconds, or running it through neutral oil first, lets the tablespoon slide off cleanly. For a single tablespoon stirred into oatmeal or yogurt, the heat of the food usually loosens what stays on the spoon — just stir it in directly rather than fighting to scrape.
