What food storage tips can you share?
put mayonnaise in the fridge
I've never put peanut butter of any kind in the fridge ever my whole life, it's always been in the pantry...have eaten it even after being stored for up to year as a kid...tasted fine and never got sick once...I remember thinking how bazaar it was the first time I seen somebody put their peanut butter in the fridge...these days I go through it pretty quick and it's usually gone in a few months, but would still have no concerns whatsoever of useing it after several months...for me personally I consider unopened jars as having an indefinite shelf life....as a kid I've also ate plenty of in the shell nuts that were stored for years...some tasted a bit rancid after about 5 years, but still never got sick.
@@animationsfa4478 I have in all my years never put mayo in the fridge... On a hot day your sandwich will go bad if you pack your own lunch and it will be just fine to eat if the mayo was never refrigerated... Catchup and pickles the same way
@@davidsnow9453 I opened a jar the other day that was put in my pantry in 1994 that was just fine...
Pee is stored in the balls
Can't be stored wrong if in my stomach
I can store something else in your stomache 😏
brian yi Like water, stay hydrated ya'll
😂😁🤣 Git in mah bellay!
@@brianyi2995 lol I get it
I definately agree ..a small jar maybe two weeks the hugemongus jar or can 2 months tops
Some natural peanut butter needs to be refrigerated, be careful not to get food poisoning because of a mashed video.
I put my natural peanut butter in the fridge. And never have a problem.
Food poisoning is not the problem.
Being eating about a jar of Smucker's Natural each week for over a dozen years and have never ever stored in fridge, always at room temp where it's always ready, and never a spoilage issue.
That answers my question. I still don't get why people put jiff in the refrigerator..
@@pete49327 I used to go thru a jar of Smucker's in two days. I quit pb all together at the beginning of March and I lost 20 lbs.
What I do is store it upside down at room temperature for at least a few days, open it, throughly incorporate the oil by carefully stirring with a butter knife then refrigerate upside down. After it's chilled, you can store it right side up. It should be smooth and not too hard to spread cold at that point.
Thank you for sharing this today. I am going to do that now.

Smash: Here's the correct way you should be opening water bottles.
I eat a jar of peanut butter every week. Natural unsalted roasted peanut butter is to die for lol
Top this.... I eat 120 lbs of Skippy a year..... No lie.😋
I never refrigerate peanut butter. Ever.
Care to explain why ? I have for years, and it works out great.
Thank you very much for the information on how to store peanut butter 😁
I returned to this video to respond to the guy who said in comments he eats his peanut butter right out of the jar with a spoon. To that commenter, and to Mashed the uploader of this video, thank you! I'm nearly through this jar of peanut butter, and I don't think I'm past four days with the seal just broken. I started the suggestion by keeping the jar here at my desk, where I could observe the jar, and darned if it didn't work out just as described. I've been periodically treating myself to spoonfuls of this peanut butter, I just have to make sure I have plenty of beverage nearby just in case!
I do that too.
I have been storing my peanut butter in the refrigerator upside down for years it works
I just stir my peanut butter first then put it in the fridge. No need to store upside down.
Very helpful, I was turned off from natural peanut butter when i saw it with so much oil to the top at the supermarket lol... now i know it's better and how to use it.. minus the oil!!
Peanut butter doesn't go bad. If it starts to deteriorate, it simply goes from the best-tasting thing in your pantry to the second-best
Wow, I was doing something right! I’ve been doing the “hashtag” thing for a long time now and it works great. I did not know about storing Jif or Skippy in the refrigerator though. I guess I eat within the 4 months.
I will try anything at least once. The other day I bought a new peanut butter in our store, was called Oh Nuts. Got home and realized I bought super smooth which I do not like very much. Well, when life gives you lemons etc. I just bought a handful of salted peanuts, ran it through the food processor, mixed it in the peanut butter and Hey Presto! the taste was light years better!
I buy and store pure peanut butter (nuts, seasalt) at room themperature. When I'm ready to open a jar, I take a strong dull stainless steel table knife that does not bend and stir it easily. Don't use a spoon or a mixer with plastic gears, lol. Then I put it in the fridge normally. It does not separate until consumed fully for at least a few weeks. I want to wash and use my jars later and don't want much oil on the lid.
No need for such sensational claims in the title.
Laura Scudders old fashioned peanut butter is actually pretty creamy when stored in the refrigerator. Don’t forget to mix it before putting it in the fridge.
Thank you!!!! Mystery solved with my almond butter, I will do this😊
Wait?! People actually put peanut butter in the refrigerator?!?!?! LOLOL bless their hearts 💕
I store one in the refrigerator and one at room temperature. I sometimes like the peanut butter cold however I would never spread it on bread. Just curious. Are you from the South ?
Calm down, tardo.
@@michaelalguire419 me to
That’s what I said, I actually have an assistant that does that. And I had to explain to her, that it’s not appropriate. To put peanut butter in the fridge. Lol
I think it slows the rate it goes rancid. But ya people…
Keeping the pb in the cabinet makes it more spreadable, i guess refrigeration is ok but it will depend on how cold you keep your refrigerator.
Store all jars upside down helps stop mould growing
My hubby taught me the upside down trick hehe, but I only eat Skippy or Jif lol so yeah...
I like skippy and Kroger brand peanut butter.
I get nothing but organic peanut butter, mix it with the electric beater, and store in the fridge. It never separates after that. The mixing it with the electric beater does require some careful handling to prevent a mess, but once you figure it out, there are no future messes. Start by holding the jar firmly and using low speed, then gradually raising it to higher speeds. Do not start mixing the entire jar by pushing the mixer down to the bottom. Start at the top gradually working it down to the bottom as you gradually use higher speeds.
Been doing that for 30 years. I am a peanut butter freak. 👍
Thank you! Pb is life!
Give a fresh jar of natural peanut butter a comprehensive stir and immediately put it in the fridge. The peanut butter will take a couple of days to really get hard. When you want some, just take out the jar and leave it on the counter at room temperature for 10 minutes with the lid partially unscrewed and it'll then be spreadable enough. Afterwards, back in the fridge it goes. This is not inconvenient. All natural peanut butter tastes so much better than the typical peanut butter with a laundry list of unnecessary junk in it.
I can't stand typical peanut butter. Natural is much better.
Did we can preserve peanut butter in fridge
JIF is it! I also believe peanut butter (and a lot of other foods) are good for much longer than jar states. I do check it for odor to be sure the oil hasn't started to get rancid. Past few years I have found even though I keep Welch' s jelly/jam in frig I have to watch it doesn't start to get mold up around lid. UGH!! Never had a problem till a couple years ago. Don't know what changed, it wasn't how often I use it or store it.
Thank You
Take your favorite roasted peanuts, dump them into the quizeez a nard. Turn that sucker on for about a half hour. Might need a few more minutes to remove the final crunchy nut bits. This never separates and depending on your nut source might even be organic. No additives. Note: honey added in will make your butter taste better but, the butter will get much more stiff. Best to do that marriage just before consuming.
__The__ way to do natural PB is the machines that grind the peanuts right in the store. It will not last long enough to separate if you like the stuff enough to get it this way to begin with. It's so much better.
I've never in my life put peanut butter in the fridge. Not worried about long term storage. Lucky if a jar lasts a month.
Get a Vitamix, buy Costco Kirkland blistered peanuts. Add a teaspoon or two of Kerry Irish butter or coconut oil, 1 -2 teaspoons of Stevia or 2 tablespoons of natural honey. Mine stores well, is easy to stir and is better than any store bought natural PB
How funny! I'm rewatching the video, and discovered the comment I wanted to reply to was within the video!
This doesn't really bother me much but I will keep this in mind.
I never heard of anyone storing peanutbutter in the refrigerator. I would think regular peanutbutter would get hard in the refrigerator too.
Been doing it for years!
It's not just natural. I have regular Jif iny cupboard. It's been in there so long that it's separated and hard on the bottom. I keep forgetting to toss it.
2:11 - cool hack!
How did I not think of this and how did I not think up Uber before it become a thing!?!??
I grew up eating Jiff and Skippy peanut butter. While at the checkout counter of a grocery store an employee insisted that I try their natural peanut butter which she said was much better than the Jiff I had placed in my cart. I allowed her to switch out my Jiff for their store brand natural peanut butter. When I got home I smelled the natural peanut butter and it smelled like feces. I don't know what wonderful experiences people are having eating natural peanut butter but I will never purchase it again.
It could've be spoiled in some way for some reason, happens with food sometimes that the whole portion in the factory just comes out wrong.
mine has been in the cabinet for months and it’s good (Kraft peanut butter)
Apparently I haven’t been wrong at all! Hahahahaha
In love with peanut butter
I use a drill with the beater attached to it
Ours is on our semi long haul across America's highways and always UNrefrigerated and never makes us sick
I ate peanut butter out of a jar that’s been expired for a year. Am I going to be okay?
This is one of the few times I'll say something good about walmart and their own brand of natural peanut butter. I have been buying it for a few years now. It's always consistent. I don't ever have to stir it and the oil never separates. It's the least expensive and it's in a full size jar. Ingredients: Peanuts, Sugar, Palm oil, Salt. That's all. Sugar is only 3 grams. No molasses. No. I don't work for them, and I hate my local walmart store. But I will brag on things that I actually do like. Have to be fair.
that is not natural tho
@@kasperdeletter8912 I wish would use peanut oil instead of palm oil at least. Also, it's not organic/non GMO, but it does have fewer ingredients, low salt and low sugar. I can't afford any organic brands of peanut butter.
Anyone else notice the shift in how the word “room” has been being pronounced lately? Almost with a u sound? Is it a regional thing? Candice Owens says “room” the same way the as the narrator does in this vid. I’ve heard it other places but can’t recall where.
BS on it being mixed after storing upside down a few days. It will be partially mixed, about half, and you will still need to vigorously stir, but it will be easier and faster. So yes, store upside down at least a couple days, but be prepared to stir to full mixture. Referring to crunchy and creamy Smucker's Natural, which is superb tasting. No need to refrigerate after opening, keep on counter at room temp, use within a week and its flavor and freshness will keep. BTW, I'm not a health nut, but read the ingredients on Smucker's Natural: PEANUTS. Now read ingredients on Peter Pan: NGREDIENTS: ROASTED PEANUTS, CORN SYRUP SOLIDS*, SUGAR, SOY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE*, LESS THAN 2% OF: SALT, HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OILS (COTTONSEED AND RAPESEED), MINERALS (MAGNESIUM OXIDE, ZINC OXIDE, IRON PHOSPHATE, COPPER SULFATE) AND VITAMINS (NIACIN, VITAMIN B6, FOLIC ACID). CONTAINS: PEANUTS, SOY.
I pour the oil off the top. Then stir. Then store upside down in the refrigerator. It last a couple of weeks, because I eat it.
I never had all natural peanut butter, but then, my peanut butter never went rancid, it just never ever lasted that long.
Turn upside down leave on counter. Then stir good. Then put in fridge. No problems. If not it will seperate again.
Jiff Xtra-crunchy, good.
Not gonna flip my peanut butter every day. Fridge works best. You can zap it a few seconds to make it spreadable.
Exactly
Should we put peanut butter in fridge?
No I think if you keep it in the cabinet it's going to start fermenting
I'm confused...apparently I have been eating unnatural PB my whole life?
Natural peanut butter is much better.
Song??
Too much work I'll stick to skippy lol
I've never put pb in the fridge. Natural pb or other
About a jar a week, no long term storage issue here.
Nobody:
Mashed: HoW To PrOpOrLy DrInk WaTeR
When u get it new it's very soft and easy to stir
I am starting to think that's why so many ppl donate it to food banks cuz it sat too long and they don't feel like stirring it so they just get a new one instead probably
I just pour the oil out. Problem solved. My grandmother did that when I was a kid. She used to make her own peanut butter.
Already knew this.
We store it in the cupboard it's still a rock coated in oil. They need to come up with a replacement for palm oil.
I just buy peanut butter that has only 2 ingredients and those are peanuts and sea salt. No added oils or sugar. Not really understanding how palm oil figures into it as I use virgin palm oil sourced from West Africa sustainably for other things and foods and I find it rather soft. Coconut butter is definitely hard though.
just dump the oil off the top add a cup of sugar and a couple emulsifiers and you good to go
...never had 'natural' peanut butter. i grew up on extra crunchy SKIPPY...
You should try it once. It's a bit of a pain, but I think the flavor is "pure peanut," whereas Jiff and Skippy et al. now taste too sweet to me, and a little "manufactured."
I always set it on top of the coffee maker for a couple hours before I open a new jar; which gently warms the PB; then take about 3-5 minutes stirring it with a butter knife; store in refrigerator. I've never had a problem with it re-separating.
In other words, there's 3-5 minutes of unhappiness at the beginning of a new jar, and after that, it's just better all the way round.
they used to serve all natural peanutbutter at my school, everyone made a mess trying to mix them, as they were in tiny plastic containers
but extra crunchy skippy is so fucking good, thats what id eat straight out of the jar lmao
As far as I am concerned it's much better. I can't eat typical peanut butter. It taste nasty to me. I taste the molasses in it.
@Jesus is King Yes it is Jesus. ☺️
I’ve always stored it upside down. U lied to me
Grandma taught me this 50+ years ago... So wrong... I have never stored it wrong
I also just opened a jar that has been in the pantry since 1994 just the other day and thought it tasted just as good as the brand new jar I had just finished - SKIPPY was the brand
That's because Skippy IS THE BEST !!
@@thebambino4728 my dad used to joke that "choosy moms choose Jif, but moms who want to live choose Skippy."
@@wishwise0 Your was is [ or WAS ] a VERY SMART GUY !!
Don't know, mine never get's hard like that lol.
Me too.... natural peanut butter is never solid
Has any British person ever kept peanut butter in the fridge,no one I know has⁉️...... should I feel queezy now!!
okay, i am mindblown.
I really didn’t know that if you turned the Natural Peanut 🥜 Butter 🧈 jars upside down , the oil would sink to the bottom of the jar !! Thank you so very much for this wonderful information !! 📖📖📖📖🙏🙏🙏🙏
My dad told me that trick 10 years ago. That’s when I realized he was a genius. Butter knife, upside down and all. Listen to your pops.
Funny cuz homemade PB doesn't separate the same way
PB lasts 4 months... Riiight. As if an open jar will last longer than a week in my house.
Tried this hack. The oil just stayed where it was.
I've done this since I started buying natural peanut butter.
With having acid reflux. I can't have the other peanut butter. Almond sand cashew butter are to expensive. So I buy natural peanut butter.
Sarah Randell same. I started buying Adams’ about 20 years ago.
Been doing this for years
Why would your refrigerate peanut butter?
Jokes on you. I make my own peanut butter without oil.
Am I even breathing right?
You can start manually breathing to help increase oxygen flow. You're probably thinking about breathing right now.
@Joe Garcia Commence manual blinking!
Cheese Penguins lol. and once you’ve passed the Mashed course of breathing right, you’re ready to learn how to walk and dare I say walk and breathe correctly at the same time.
How did I ever live so long...storing fucking peanut fucking butter the wrong fucking way for sixty-five years.
The Lovely Bride eats a LOT more peanut butter than I EVER have....But many years ago I learned that refrigerating peanut butter was the best way to go....The Lovely Bride disagrees....But like I said...She eats a LOT more peanut butter than I EVER have....
I have one jar in the refrigerator and one at room temperature.
Trick 1:14
I fucking love peanut butter.
Done that 60+ yrs.
I just watched a news show were a man found a ground up mouse in side of the jar of peanut butter it just happened to be skippy peanut butter......he ate twice from it .....enjoy....
if you put peanut butter in the refrigerator you're a psychopath
Lol FACTS that's some real Dexter type shit lol
Lol
I used to do this
We had no choice but to store in the fridge. Who knew ants could get in a sealed jar of peanut butter in the desert.
Psychopath here! Present and accounted for 😄
Total bs. I never had a problem stirring my pb. BTW I don't trust a jar that says 'natural'. I only buy "peanuts and a little salt and that's all". Refrigerate? Only after it's opened and stirred. Doesn't matter if it needs refrigeration, it's otherwise runny and will settle again. That's been the only pb I buy for 30 years, ever since Laura Scudder's hit the shelves. Not my brand anymore, since it's expensive, and there are others that are less expensive and still perfectly acceptable.
Even if you store it upsides down, It's still hard to stir!
Also, why do people make animation of Elvis look like a clown?
Knights Of Cydonia.
For those of you who are commenting sarcastically about how they are surprised there hasn't been a video telling us we breath wrong: Trust me, most people are definitely breathing wrong without realizing it. And doing so causes health issues as well as anxiety etc...
I bought a year of NPB last week and left it upside down, today when I opened it, there were lots of black peanuts, it went rancid.
the expiration date was April 2020
Sounds like you purchased a bad batch to begin with.
Kraft makes an excellent all-natural crunchy PB. I always keep it in the fridge. When I wake up, the first thing I do before my shower, is take it out and put it on the counter. By the time I've finished my shower, it's already soft and ready to spread, after a quick stir.
Just because it says natural doesn't mean it's really natural. I always look at the ingredients. If it contains more then peanuts and salt it's not really natural. Sometimes you will see palm oil and molasses. Not for me.
@@michaelalguire419 No, the Kraft all natural is 100% natural. The label reads: Ingredients, 100% Select Roasted Peanuts.
Why am I watching this
I’m allergic to peanut butter
Nope. Won’t refrigerate mine
I’ll deal with hard peanut butter
I’m not eating garbage,
because it’s “easier”🙄
