7 Mistakes Even YOU Might Make With Peanut Butter
-
Stirring incorrectly
Some jars may not handle the right-side-up trick well and cause a mess. For those jars, we have an extra trick: a peanut butter stirrer.
To be honest, I’ve never even thought this would exist but it does and it’s amazing and very easy to use! You can check out this natural peanut butter mixer, for instance, which works like a charm for 16-ounce jars.

Storing in the wrong place
Ask 100 Americans where they keep their peanut butter jars and you’ll probably get 50 different answers. What few people know is that the label tells you whether you need to refrigerate your peanut butter or not.
Most ‘natural’ peanut butters which feature only one or two ingredients spoil much faster than other options; that’s because of their oils content. Usually, a jar of natural peanut butter lasts about one month in the pantry, so if you’re a PB lover there’s no need to worry about this information. However, if you’re eating it occasionally, it’s best to keep your jar in the fridge.

Not using it instead of butter
There are countless delicious dessert recipes that require butter. Whether you run out of regular butter or want to upgrade your dish, add peanut butter instead. You can add a 1:1 ratio of oil to peanut butter in almost every recipe which might just make it better than the original recipe!
