Do you refridgerate your peanut butter?!

If we had a food forum for like recipes and stuff I would have posted this there! =D

My wife buys that all natural PB so we have to refridgerate it

Same here, real peanut butter has to be refrigerated

Refridgerated peanut butter = mangled bread

Pherr the Dorf · Post by **Pherr the Dorf** » August 15, 2003, 3:18 pm

Also for those that use real peanut butter, before you open it or refrigerate it, turn it upsidedown for a day, it makes it easy to stir in the oils that seperate

Sirensa · Post by **Sirensa** » August 15, 2003, 3:24 pm

I haven't had real peanut butter since I was a kid and my mom was into natural/organic foods, so I can't really remember if it is that much tastier. So is it?

I love peanut butter. If it was calorie free I would eat it by the spoonful! (ok well I do that sometimes anyways but usually just one spoonful). Peanut sauce on thai food is the yum.

Real peanut butter isn't sweetened with sugar, it tastes like, peanuts oddly enough, that other stuff tastes horrible after you eat the real stuff for awhile

shit like this is a point of marital friction in our house.

i cant stand when syrup, peanut butter, ketchup, or soy sauce winds up in the fridge.

that shit does not need to be refrigerated.

Does it say "REFRIDGERATE AFTER OPENING" on the label?

FUCK NO IT DOESNT.

I have hot fucking waffles, why do i want COLD FUCKING SYRUP on them?

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST WOMAN!!!!!!

-*crackle* "911 operator is there an emergency?"
-"my husband said he was going to kill me if i put the syrup in the refridgerator again"
-*crackle* "wtf? who puts that in the fridge?" *crackle-hiss-pop*

i feel better now, thanks )

I'm with voronwe. I don't put any of that shit in the fridge, least of all the peanut butter.

All my condiments are room temperature baby.

PB: no.

Jelly: yes, even before I open it. Cold preserves are the win.

I live with someone who thinks I am weird for not refridgerating my peanut butter (skippy or some other non-natural brand).

I do put ketchup, syrup and soy sauce in the fridge though.

*edit* - I usually warm syrup in the microwave before putting using it so makes no difference to me that it was cold from the fridge!

And yes, peanut butter on waffles is the yum!

rhyae · Post by **rhyae** » August 15, 2003, 4:54 pm

Nope, not in fridge, and I dont keep my soy sauce or hot sauce in fridge either.
I do keep my mustard in the fridge though.

My 4 year old daughter is a peanut butter maniac. She would eat peanut butter morning noon and night if I let her.
Her favorite breakfast is "gooey peanutbutter". Toast with peanut butter and a glass of milk.

what existed to keep food from spoiling before electricity?

salt.

what is soy sauce? water and salt

Heinz wrote:Should ketchup be refrigerated?
Because it is a very acidic product, ketchup does not spoil easily. Once opened, in order to maintain the product's quality more effectively, we do suggest that ketchup (and any other processed food) be refrigerated after opening because refrigeration retards spoilage.

So i will concede that Heinz recommends it be refrigerated. But it is not REQUIRED in order to ensure your health.

i dont think there are any organisms that can live in BOTH soy sauce and the human body; therefore, there is little risk of any pathogen. The osmolrity of soy sauce is about 200X that of human blood or interstitual fluid*.

YOU WILL NOT REFRIGERATE MAH SAUCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

* - fabricated statistic to support my case

noel · Post by **noel** » August 15, 2003, 6:14 pm

Dude... the only reason I even knew about the Soy sauce thing is because I was having ilke a 168 hour sushi bender (I ate Sushi for dinner for like a week), and I had some soy sauce conveniently located on my coffee table. I was wathing a movie on about the fifth day, and my eyes wandered to the back of the Soy Sauce container where I noticed clearly printed in capital letters, 'Refridgerate After Opening'. I was at the same time both shocked and horrified. So now I keep my soy sauce in the 'fridge.

Kikkoman's site says the following:

Remember that all soy sauces should be stored in a cool place.

/shrug

Voronwë · Post by **Voronwë** » August 15, 2003, 6:16 pm

i think a bottle of soy sauce can outlive a human. that is my completely off-base hairbrained opinion, and i am 100% inflexible on the matter.

Peanut Butter - cupboard
Honey - cupboard
Mustard - cupboard

Butter - (it says keep refridgerated m'fers...my family is the worst at not keeping it in the fridge. drives me nuts)

Coatlicue [KoE] · Post by **Coatlicue [KoE]** » August 16, 2003, 11:03 am

Peanut butter sits on our kitchen counter... So does sesame seed oil, soy sauce, olive oil (my mom refridgerates it), and vegetable oil. They're all in neat little oil containters, cept the peanut butter of course

I refridgerate my steak sauces, ketchup, mustard, hot sauce, salsas. I don't refridgerate worchestershire sauce or hollandaise.

Syrup stays in the pantry... who the hell wants cold syrup anyway?!!?

damn, when i read the title i was going to reply "you need a hell no option" figuring you'd just have yes/no/what? options, but you foiled me:( h8

peanut butter is not refrigerated, ever. jelly, yes, ketchup, maybe, soy sauce, hell no. btw jif is the win.

on a side note, I don't think I've ever called it the "cupboard." That makes me think of those stupid kids books The Indian in the Cupboard. Or English people.

I've discovered one of my biggest pet peeves is when someone puts my cholula in the frige. Why would anyone want cold hot sauce? I know I sure don't!

Let's say in 100,000 years from now when we've mapped the heavens, we discover an alien form of bacteria living inside a pool of lava on the surface of a planet hanging stationary inside a star. Even that stuff would certainly die within a yard of an unopened bottle of cholula. SO WHAT THE FUCK IS A REFRIGERATOR GOING TO DO???

Yah cause the petroleum wax isn't a dead giveaway on conventional produce, ohhh and the taste of cardboard. I challenge anyone to take a normal tomato and an organic tomato, and taste them, not cook them, eat them like a fucking apple with alil salt and pepper, tell me if you can't tell the difference, same with fruit or anything you eat directly. The go to 2 farms, one conventional and one organic, tell me which one you'd let your kids walk around in, the one with no life because it so heavily ladened with pesticides or the one that has bugs and stuff kids dig. Then say to yourself, which farms drainoff do you want in your groundwater.
