no...it tears the bread and who wants that?

I used to do that because I thought you had to.

Then I read somewhere(maybe here) that you don't need to do that. So, I researched the issue and found out that indeed, you do NOT need to refridgerate peanut butter after opening. So now I don't do that anymore.

"no refrigeration required". does cold peanut butter taste better?

 

[NewJersey]

Yes.

 

[poohandwendy]

No, not necessary and it wouldn't taste the same.

I think that you are supposed to refrigerate the natural kind because the oil can go rancid. But regular, Jif-type peanut butter doesn't need to go in the fridge.

I buy Adams Peanut butter.. It does need to be refrigerated.

I once broke up with a guy because he put my peanut butter in the fridge.

There are some natural peanut butters that need to be refrigerated. I would put some in a bowl and nuke it a bit so that it would spread better. Now I get Skippy natural which is nice and smooth and doesn't require refrigeration.

 

[LadyyRedd]

I don't refrigerate mine. I rarely eat peanut butter, but do usually have some in the house. A friend of mine saw it sitting on the counter and commented that it was gross that it wasn't in the fridge.

I want to know who the goofball is that said they don't own a fridge.

Yes! I buy the natural kind and I think you should refrigerate that. If I were buying Jif, Skippy, etc. I might not.

 

[Talking Hands]

yes or it will go rancid in the Florida heat.

 

[cruisnfamily]

yes or it will go rancid in the Florida heat.

Nope, it won't....mine doesn't.

 

[kimmikayb]

Hmmm, not I am craving a peanutbutter and jelly sandwich.

No, peanutbutter in our home does not go in the fridge.

 

[disneychrista]

We don't. My kids eat it so fast that it doesn't have a chance to go bad.

 

[Charade]

I don't like cold peanut butter. ICK!

 

[DLBDS]

Never knew anyone refrigerated their peanut butter.

 

[Jack-Jack]

Rancid peanut butter?

 

[Pooh Girl 71]

no...it tears the bread and who wants that?

totally agree. We had some flavored peanut butter at work and somebody put it in the fridge.
