Favorite Peanut Butter

[sr71blackbird]

I have been going back and forth of this and trying different brands, but today I got this and made a quick sandwich and gotta say it tastes pretty damn good. A comparison in the store weighed in its favor too as far as fats, calories and sodium and content is concerned:

Whats your favorite and why, and have you compared the health qualities or do you not care one way or the other.

[Dude!]

not even close....
nothing in it but
peanuts and salt

has a slightly gritty texture
which is better than that
overly hydrogenated crap

the only peanut butter
that has the Dude! Seal of Approval:

Thats what I was using before and I liked it, but the stirring was a pain in the ass as well as the way it hardened while in the fridge. It got to the point it would rip the bread apart, so I started thinking of a smoother texture. I mistakenly used the wrong image, the one I have is not the chunky one, its the smooth one.

[OGC]

are you supposed to keep peanut butter in the fridge ?

[WhistlePig]

Skippy super chunky. Have some every morning on a raisin english muffin with banana slices. Yum.

No with 50% more salmonella! BTW... The Wal Mart PB is actually Peter Pan.

Skippy Creamy for me. Sometimes the Skippy with honey kind (even though I still end up making pb and honey sandwiches half the time.)

nutella > all peanut butter

[razorboy]

are you supposed to keep peanut butter in the fridge ?

If you like awful unspreadable peanut butter? Sure.


Jif or cashew butter, by the way.

[sailor]

nutella > all peanut butter

sure, but that's more like candy.

[disneyspy]

are you supposed to keep peanut butter in the fridge ?

i refrigerate after opening,then only use the jar once then throw it away because i hate cold.unspreadable penut butter

this choosey mother fucker chooses jif

[sr71blackbird]

I searched online and Im not the only one who refrigerates it, but I do see the downside of the cold peanut butter. I have a fear of open containers in my pantry attracting vermin, so I keep all open stuff in the fridge. It looks like the majority of people keep it opened in the cabinets though, so they must not worry about bugs etc. You cant 100% keep the jar clean after using it, try as you might.

Maybe clean your rat hole now and again and you won't have 7 kinds of vermin marauding it, zeroing in on an invisible smear of peanut oil on a plastic jar in a closed cabinet.

try keeping in a ziplock storage bag after opening it

Or maybe you can just screw the lid back on. I wouldn't leave an open jar of peanut butter in my cabinets either.

Give me Skippy (creamy) with a jar of extra crunchy every once in a while.

Nutella is good stuff in small doses, a piece of toast, english muffin, but it's too sweet to have too often.

NO open food of any kind should be stored anywhere but inside a fridge. Its a known fact and cannot be argued.

[zentraed]

All-natural peanut butter (made with just peanuts and maybe salt) is kept in the fridge to keep the oil from separating from the peanuts. Otherwise, you have to stir it up every time you use it. I usually toast my bread, which helps make it easier to spread since it kinda melts the peanut butter. I hate trying to use the hydrogenated peanut butters in recipes :thumbdown:.

[Dude!]

it is not a known fact
and of course it should be argued

do you put your cornflakes
in the fridge?
your flour?
a can of mixed nuts?

you don't refrigerate
whole nuts (unless you're a dope)
so why refrigerate peanut butter

[sailor]

you don't refrigerated peanut butter.

Damn Skippy

[razorboy]

I can't believe I actually agree with a Dude! post. It's a New Year miracle.

[sr71blackbird]

I do refrigerate any open container except coffee, tea and bread. Cereal, nuts, sugar, jelly, butter no matter what. You people who don't are silly and gross.

[sr71blackbird]

I know you can keep it out and it will last a while, but no way am I letting food sit on a shelf in my house. You want to do it? Go right ahead.

[sailor]

jelly and butter, yes. the rest is just silly. and you say "no matter what" after listing exceptions. do you know what "no matter what" means?

[weekapaugjz]

I'm not picky but usually grab jif. Always crunchy though.

[sr71blackbird]

You read it out of context. I meant that I refrigerate all food except those ones listed.

[sailor]

You read it out of context. I meant that I refrigerate all food except those ones listed.

yes, you did, then you said all foods no matter what.

[razorboy]

You must have an enormous icebox.

[sr71blackbird]

All foods no matter what means all foods no matter what are opened foods that I listed.

[sailor]

i don't even know what language that is.

[sr71blackbird]

I was about to ask if you were brought up in America :)

[razorboy]

I was hoping I wasn't the only person who found that post very confusing.

Fucker Cant Type Worth Shit

[sr71blackbird]

I was an English major and got an A.

[Jujubees2]

Back on topic. I'm with you blackbird. Started using Smart Balance a few months ago and now I won't use anything else. I especially like the omega 3's that they've added.

[razorboy]

You can really taste the fatty acids.

[Dude!]

got AN "A"
big deal
i bet the rest were D's and F's

[sailor]

no to split hairs, but "was an english major" not "have a degree in english"

[opie's twisted balls]

Whats your favorite and why, and have you compared the health qualities or do you not care one way or the other.
http://www.creamnut.com/ for peanut butter used on toast and such, Kraft for baking

I also buy almond butter from the healthfood store which is very nummy.

are you supposed to keep peanut butter in the fridge ?
no

No shit! I've never had problems with bugs, mice, Somalis rooting about in my house picking up scraps of food. Why? Because I don't live like a savage and clean the joint.

NO open food of any kind should be stored anywhere but inside a fridge. Its a known fact and cannot be argued.
Its going to take a lot to top that as the most moronic statement I've heard today. A refrigerator is a place to keep items that need to be stored between 37-41. Aside from canned or bottled items like pickles or condiments fridges are designed for short term storage, keeping items in for longer then a week will have a detrimental effect on taste and quality as its a very drying environment.

Your A in English aside I'm confused about the above. You do or don't store your cereal, nuts, etc. in the fridge?

I was an English major and got an A.
Get a PoliSci degree and you're set!

[Jujubees2]

and it's even better when washed down by a glass of soy milk...

[Dude!]

and it's even better when washed down by a glass of soy milk...

ugh
you may as well
top it with Cool Whip

[Dude!]

i order almond butter
and raw cashew butter
from a secret source

they are both sublime

[sr71blackbird]

Yes, I store them in the fridge.

[sr71blackbird]

And its not moronic, it is how civilized people live. Every person I asked today said they keep it in the fridge too. Same reason.

[razorboy]

Yes, I store them in the fridge.

Is that why they're so small?

[sr71blackbird]

Next you will say you keep your open mayo and mustard in your cabinets. Again, I am not saying you can't do it if you go though this shit fast, but I make a few sandwiches a month. It will have gone rancid long before I finished it if I stored it at room temperature. Its ground beans, and not really "nuts" anyway!

[disneyspy]

And its not moronic, it is how civilized people live. Every person I asked today said they keep it in the fridge too. Same reason.

haahahaha,you went around asking people if they keep their peanut butter in the fridge or cupboard?

what'd you do when you were in the running for the creep tourney?

[sr71blackbird]

You are right, they looked me soooooo bizarre when I asked them if they refrigerate their peanut butter. It was sooo awkward.

[opie's twisted balls]

Yes, I store them in the fridge.
OK, I can't believe I'm even continuing this discussion but here goes. So when you buy a box of Fruity Pebbles it goes into the fridge? And you had sugar on your list of chilled items, ummmm why??? Where does bread go? How about fruit like unpealed apples and oranges? Potatoes and onions? If you keep coffee in there how about tea? You seem to keep a LOT of stuff in the fridge, do you only buy travel/single serving/kids sizes to be able to fit it all?


And its not moronic, it is how civilized people live. Every person I asked today said they keep it in the fridge too. Same reason.
Hey look, a civilized person with all sorts of stuff not in a refrigerator. And not a vermin in sight, I haven't dropped dead with salmonella and if you look close you might even shit a brick.

If you put your blue mountain in the fridge I hope your tongue falls out! Good coffee should be treated with respect and reverence and NEVER put in the fridge or freezer.

Right alongside the creamed corn and split pea soup.

If you're eating those no anal lube is required.

Why are they keeping the dried figs in their pantry? What are they, savages??

[sr71blackbird]

Hell no! I said initially that coffee and tea are kept out of the fridge.

[opie's twisted balls]

Canned creamed corn is nasty, home made is yummy. As for soup I like this stuff, loaded with fat but its tasty:

Sorry Martha, but a simple man like myself doesn't have a designated dried fruit icebox.

So some coffee is in the refrigerator but other coffee isn't? I'm so confused.

[sr71blackbird]

No coffee in the refrigerator, no tea in the refrigerator.

i was actually referring to the
ghostly apparition in the dark spot
at the very bottom on the picture

that, and the horrifying Coffee Mate

[opie's twisted balls]

OK, good to know. No coffee in the fridge but that's where you keep the cocoa puffs...cool!

i was actually referring to the
ghostly apparition in the dark spot

that, and the horrifying Coffee Mate
-dark spot in the bottom = the cast iron plate I put on the grill when I make bulgogi
-ghostly apparition = probably catching the flash bounce off the champagne bucket in the corner, or my house is haunted with little ghhhhossstttss (must call Ted)
-the awful coffee mate = I have a occasional house guest who is lactose intolerant and insists on putting that powered shit into his coffee, he bought the big container of it from costco a couple years ago and despite me thinking it must have gone stale says it tastes as good as new

[Dude!]

I have a occasional house guest who is lactose intolerant and insists on putting that powered shit into his coffee, he bought the big container of it from costco a couple years ago and despite me thinking it must have gone stale says it tastes as good as new

i'm sorry your boyfriend
is lactose intolerant
that must be difficult

[opie's twisted balls]

i'm sorry your boyfriend
is lactose intolerant
as long as he's not jizzum intolerant

Thats what I was using before and I liked it, but the stirring was a pain in the ass as well as the way it hardened while in the fridge. It got to the point it would rip the bread apart, so I started thinking of a smoother texture. I mistakenly used the wrong image, the one I have is not the chunky one, its the smooth one.

I solved that by dumping the whole mess into a mixing bowl so I could evenly distribute the oils and then transferring it back to the jar.

OK, that's a lot of work, but it solved my hard-and-dry natural-style peanut butter issue!

I am not up to that level yet. I did make a lamp out of a wine bottle though, so it's a step in the right direction.

I am Dumbfounded by the girth of this thread. Way too disinterested to read the previous posts but if we're going on straight consistent taste, it's Jif crunchy to my think.
