Natural Peanut Butter: Easy Stir Trick

Simple trick to make any brand of natural peanut butter easier to stir.. Turn the jar upside down.. Overnight or for a few days.. The longer the better..

[@craigcandor]

Searched for "peanut butter stirring" and your tip has by far been the best.

glad it helped.. thanks for reply..

@@tongo117 BTW, given your username, let me know if you have any tips/wisdom here. I'm doing an experiment where I only eat PB&J' and goat milk. Why? Because peanut butter (organic kind which is only nuts and salt) has all the macro nutrients, and milk has healthy animal protein and fat. Let me know if you know anything about PB that makes this a crazy idea.

[@tongo117]

@@craigcandor my user/nick name goes back 35+ years to my early days as a fireman.. money was tight and PB was cheap.. i always had it on hand along with a loaf of white bread.. PB man was born and the name stuck.. since i eat so much of it (on my 34th jar of Smuckers Natural for 2019), yes i count/wash/save the jars.. i've also thought about the possible negative effects.. the fact that PB is high in Omega 6 fatty acids seems to be of some concern as it may cause inflammation (not for me).. and it's high in calories but that's of no concern.. i've been 160lbs for the last 40 years or so.. but, to eat PB exclusively with only goat's milk?? not sure about that.. good luck..

Most people watching this probably need an immediate solution. Here's my best tips: Method #1 - Use a hand mixer. If you have and want crunchy peanut butter, or don't have a mixer, proceed to the next method. Method #2 - Pour into a different container. For a moderately sized jar of peanut butter, a drinking cup worked fine for me. Here is a detailed step-by-step guide to avoid making a mess. 1. Use a spoon to pour something like half of the jar into the cup, getting both some thick stuff and some liquid stuff. 2. Mix each container (jar and cup) separately. 3. Tilt the cup over the jar and use the spoon to push the peanut butter from the cup into the jar, carefully avoiding that the peanut butter spills over the edges of the jar. 4. Give it a little stir. 5. If the sides or the jar still got messy, wipe it off, then close the lid tightly. Finally, clean the outsides of the jar with a dishbrush and a little bit of soap. Do not rinse it too long or with super hot water if you do not want the labels to come off. Some labels might break very easily, and you will have sticky glue instead; in that case it might not be worth it to wash the jar.

If you're not lazy, you can stir it and have that sandwich within 2 minutes.

Thanks, I threw a full one out last month but found another jar this week. Keep up the good videos.

[@max410]

If you want to avoid the need to stir the peanut butter at all before you turn it upside down open the jar and remove a tablespoon or 2 of the oil and then go ahead and turn it upside down and leave in the fridge overnight and the next day it will have the perfect texture because if you were paying attention to this video even after he performed this procedure the peanut butter still look a little too thin and when you spread it on your bread it will run off the edges of the bread and that really suks, and if you accidentally remove too much oil and it looks too thick no worries before you need to use it just take it out of the fridge for 10 minutes and it will soften to perfection and if is still a little runny after performing this trick before you need to use it just put it in the freezer for about 7 minutes and it will thicken to perfection, I do this procedure with the organic Valencia peanut butter from Costco and it works to perfection all the time.

This is slick. I will definitely use this technique with peanut and almond butters. I usually dig it all out, put it in a mixing bowl, and then add cinnamon and stevia to perfect the flavor of both. The result is excellent. And then put it back in the original har.

I just use an electric mixer. I put just one of the beaters in the mixer and stick it in the jar of peanut butter all the way down and turn it on, move the beater around a bit to make sure you've got a consistent mix.

[@PetiteMouse]

Great. No power tools involved.

[@slatertater2319]

I’m just assuming you’re the peanut butter expert, so I have a question! Every jar I’ve gotten of these has this gritty substance at the bottom. Is there any way to use that stuff and make it soft like the rest of the peanut butter, or just scrap it?

[@tongo117]

Smuckers is the only brand I've used and I stir till it's completely mixed.. If there was/is gritty stuff I've never noticed.. It gets mixed in..

[@slatertater2319]

[@algorel4763]

How often is this needed, when you first open it, every time you use it ?

[@tongo117]

As often as I eat PB only when I open a new jar.. If you only eat it occasionally you will likely have to stir it up a little first.. But it shouldn't be so bad that you have to turn the jar upside down like this..

[@algorel4763]

@@tongo117 Thanks!

[@melissapotts1434]

I store mine in the fridge after that initial stir and never have to restir.

[@wd4313]

Thank you for the video. Quick question for you, how many days does it take for all of the oil to be reabsorbed back into the peanut butter, for the peanut butter to become soft and not need to be stirred, if you experimented with this tried going more days Thanks Thank you again for the video, Appreciated my Friend 💞

[@tongo117]

If you leave a jar turned over too long the oil completely rises to the top and you have the same problem you started with.. Two days just seemed like the average time I would wait before stirring..

[@wd4313]

@@tongo117 Thank you my Friend 💞 I hope you're ready for what's coming. Don't take what they're doling out out...

[@shantytownbrown]

It will never reabsorb, in fact that’s why the non natural brands add emulsifiers to keep it homogenized. Those emulsifiers are no good for you. Stir it as suggested here. Then keep in the fridge. It will keep it from separating again plus will delay rancidity. (But if you are like us, a jar doesn’t last more than 10 days so the likelihood of that is very low!) Great tip by the way. I look forward to trying it out.

[@speedfreak8200]

@@shantytownbrown thanks for the great tips , we bought Adam's by the gallon from Costco when kids were growing up but I gotta say whenever I see smuckers it reminds me of SNL ... with a name like mangled baby ducks it hasta be good 👍 I'm sorry

[@denisecook3063]

I just made a huge mess and now I’m guessing it should go in the frig after opening???

[@tongo117]

From what I've read natural peanut butter will last a month or so unrefrigerated after opening.. Since I finish a jar in a week or so I do not refrigerate..

[@itsajahthing]

Like fine wine I lay the peanut butter jar on the side overnight and it is easier to stir and actually mix.

[@tongo117]

Never thought of that.. I'll try it.. Might work better than upside down.. Thanks..

[@TheMrPeteChannel]

Peanut butter companies should ship it upside down like some catchup brands.

[@PapaPalps71]

The PB companies should label the jars so the stores will place em on the shelves with the lids on the bottom. (You’re welcome Smuckers, …and shoppers)

[@MrLightBulb1990]

Do you refrigerate it after opening?

[@tongo117]

No

[@4orrcountry]

After stirring it as shown on this video, I refrigerate it with the jar upside down on a plate with a paper towel on the plate and it stays without oil separating until the jar is empty.

I wish I thought to look this up two days ago 🤦‍♀️

[@garrykimovich]

Amount of life that you lose from palm oil might be less than the time it takes to make a peanut butter sandwich with natural peanut butter. lol

[@gypsydayle7083]

I guess it needs to be sealed because all the oil was still at the top.

[@tongo117]

Yeah I've had that happen a few times over the years.. No change after a few days upside down.. But usually it works..

[@vBDKv]

Every single organic peanut butter I've purchased, all the oil is already on top. I'm confused. Edit: Nevermind! I completely misunderstood what the guy in the video was saying .. Oh well.

Just go to the organic store and ground the peanuts yourself. No need to stir.
