Kirby Posted May 10, 2022 Share #1 Posted May 10, 2022 When I eat peanut butter, I try to be good and get the kind without too much added stuff - just ground peanuts. But stirring peanut butter annoys me. No matter how much I stir, the first half of the jar is always too liquidy and the bottom half is too dry. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The obvious solution is double ended peanut butter jars. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no matter how careful I am, I will end up with at least one stream of oil running down the side, making it slippery for as long as the jar hangs around. I have a peanut butter sandwich (with a banana on the side) for lunch most weekdays. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time peanut butter at home was well, 40 yrs. ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should probably throw it out. I bet it's past the "use by" date. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphie ★ Posted May 10, 2022 Share #10 Posted May 10, 2022 I say give it up and embrace better living through chemistry. You can buy the stuff labeled natural that still has added oil and emulsifiers or whatever to make it homogenous and silky smooth if you still want to feel virtuous. That is how the Seabury household rolls. But ahspose if it uses palm oil we should all eschew it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you buy it from a place that makes it fresh it doesn’t have time to separate. I get it from a place that grinds the nuts daily. If it does start to separate it stirs easily. I also buy Smuckers and it does like you say but I don’t mind. I like it thick so I dump the oil off the top and stir the rest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12string Posted May 10, 2022 Share #14 Posted May 10, 2022 I don't mind stirring. I just hate that the jar says "NO NEED TO STIR!!!" and you have to stir it. That was actually a big thing decades ago, when they finally figured out how to pastuerize it so you didn't have to stir daily to keep the bacteria from forming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted May 10, 2022 Share #19 Posted May 10, 2022 There was always a disgusting tub of oily peanut butter on the farm when I was growing up. Now I buy and Jiff. If Jiff is oily it' way past time to throw it out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted May 11, 2022 Author Share #30 Posted May 11, 2022 Whenever I went on a trip with my parents when I was an adult, they'd be a snack bag that usually contained fixings for whisky sours (or wine) and peanut butter on saltines. You had to use skippy for that because there's no stirring peanut butter with a plastic knife in a hotel room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12string Posted May 11, 2022 Share #34 Posted May 11, 2022 We had whatever was cheapest growing up. And there's a good chance mom just kept refilling the same jar with mud from the creek. WE didn't care we ate it. And PB goes on RITZ, not saltines! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
