Do you refrigerate...

[lowsideonacurve]

I never refrigerate PB. I want it to be smooth and creamy, so I can break off a piece of Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate and scoop it in my PB like Hershey's showed us in their old commercials. Remember the slogan?, "Two great tastes that taste great together" well lemmy tell ya, it's way better than the Reece's Peanut Butter Cup they where peddling.

Not quite the same thing but Skippy also just came out with this.

Peanut butter does not need refrigeration. The oil in it can go rancid after a few months, but a jar should never last that long. If you keep it long enough to go rancid, throw it away and never purchase peanut butter again!

Refrigerate Peanut Butter? Not to be snarky, but... what color is the sky on your planet? I've been eating the stuff for over 60 years, now (and I'm one of those weirdos who eat it with a spoon, right out of the jar), and my peanut butter has NEVER been refrigerated; not ever, never. I just spent the last minute scrutinizing my current jar of Skippy creamy p-butter (almost gone, too - will be, before today is over), and nowhere does it say "Refrigerate after opening", or any nonsense like that. My jar of Costco store brand "organic, pure & natural" peanut butter, though? The kind I constantly have to stick a blender into, to get everything mixed back together? Yeah, that junk does say "refrigerate"... Personally, I say throw that kind of P-Butter the Hell out, and get more Skippy (or Peter Pan- that's good, too)...

The sky is green with purple polka dots but that's neither here nor there.

I'm not in possession of a jar of regular Skippy at the moment but that's what I was buying until recently and if my memory serves me correct, and sometimes it doesn't, those say "refrigerate after opening".

Can someone with a jar of regular Skippy check the label?

The only peanut butter that I refrigerate is the kind that comes with jelly mixed in. I know that this is junk food for children, but it's delicious on bread, every now and then.

 

[jmattbassplaya]

Never done it. Never will. Even my natural stuff won't go in the fridge.

 

[CatSquare]

The smooth stuff is good out of the fridge, but chunky just destroys bread when it's cold. If I can remember to, I spread it room-temp then refrigerate that half of the sandwich until the next day.

I like it because the natural stuff gets a bit runny at room temp.

 

[loveandbass]

I dont even refrigerate regular butter

 

[pcake]

store your jar of peanut butter upside down in the fridge - it helps. but be careful when you open the jar not to drip peanut oil all over!

 

[beaglesandbass]

I've never refrigerated my PB before. Never even thought to. Maybe I'll try it now.

You've never thought to do so because there is absolutely no reason to do so. By all means try it so as to prove to yourself what a terrible idea it is.

We never refrigerate it.
Tip for room temp storage of quality PB:

- store quality PB upside down. Then give it a quick stir and you're good to go.

REGULAR SKIPPY SAYS NOTHING ABOUT REFRIGERATION ON THE LABEL.

Never heard of it.

As a kid i was the geek who read every word on anything with words on it and i don't recall ever seeing any warning about refrigeration on PB.

I got so much of it as a kid i rarely eat it as an adult. My older sister makes her own peanut and almond butter and i'll snag a bit of that when I visit her but unless she takes it out in anticipation of a visit from me, she doesn't store hers in the fridge either.

Have we run out of silly stuff to talk about?

Peanut butter pro tip:

If you buy the stuff that needs significant stirring before first use, skim some of the oil off right after you open the jar. Save and refrigerate the oil. Stir peanut butter well. When you get to the bottom third of the jar, when the contents are getting dry and crumbly, add some of oil back in.

The only peanut butter that I refrigerate is the kind that comes with jelly mixed in. I know that this is junk food for children, but it's delicious on bread, every now and then.

This stuff is great but only the first few ounces or so before it becomes totally mixed. Then it's all jelly with some peanut butter.

 

[Immigrant]

I have a recommendation of where to store peanut butter.
