well there are many ways, you can use spoons i.e. tablespoon, teaspoon, cups(or any smaller cup type measure), grams, calories,
or you can use my favorite measure
the right amount of peanut butter is always as much as you can fit in your mouth and still get it down.

Fortunately recipes that call for peanut butter don't require exact measurements. For smaller amounts, I just count out tablespoons. If more than a cup or so is called for, I read the peanut butter packaging. A 16 ounce jar yields 2 cups of peanut butter.

Depends on how much you need or what your using it for. A serving of peanut butter is 2 tablespoons and is about 170-190 calories. Just remember that 3 teaspoons make 1 tablespoon. 4 tablespoons make a quarter cup and of course 8 tablespoons make a half cup. So there are about 32 tablespoons or 16 servings in a typical peanut butter jar.

There are different measuring cups. For peanut butter do not use a fluid measuring cup. You'll end up with way more p.b. than you need. Make sure you use a "dry" measuring cup.

Spray a measuring cup with Pam or something similar and then spoon peanut butter into it. The Pam will keep it from sticking when you use a spatula to get it out.

It is 8 ounces to a cup. If you have a 16 ounce jar and need a cup just used half the jar. Estimate, then you do not have to measure into a separate measuring cup and spread the mess.

Usually a measuring cup or measuring spoons. Do they not teach you these things in school? I suggest a home ec course might be of help!

Just use a spoon to put it in a dry measuring cup and then dump it out. It is really quite simple. It is similar to shortening if you have ever used that in a recipe.

I'm going out on a limb here, but I will say a measuring cup.
