My SIL told me something about peanuts going moldy and I feel like it keeps it fresher. We only have an issue spreading once we get to the last few tbsp. </p> <p>@irene: any nut or seed butter I buy I store it in the fridge once opened. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opened-peanut-butter-fridge-or-pantry#post-2826247 Mon, 04 Jun 2018 15:00:57 +0000 psw27 2826247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Traditional PB is def pantry but we use Teddie (the best natural IMO!) and it goes in the fridge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opened-peanut-butter-fridge-or-pantry#post-2826233 Mon, 04 Jun 2018 14:18:02 +0000 Mrsbells 2826233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pantry.

Does this only apply to peanut butter or all other kinds of nut/nut-similated butters (eg. almond butter, sunbutter....etc.)? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opened-peanut-butter-fridge-or-pantry#post-2826204 Mon, 04 Jun 2018 13:04:35 +0000 Mamaof2 2826204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pantry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opened-peanut-butter-fridge-or-pantry#post-2826188 Mon, 04 Jun 2018 12:31:46 +0000 KT326 2826188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: I change my vote then, we kept the Skippy in the pantry growing up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opened-peanut-butter-fridge-or-pantry#post-2826187 Mon, 04 Jun 2018 12:30:35 +0000 KT326 2826187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those saying the natural peanut butter gets hard in the fridge, make sure you mix it well before you put it in there! </p> <p>I actually scrape all mine out into a bowl when I first open it, mix all the oil in until it's a nice creamy consistency and then I put it back in the jar. It takes some time, probably 10 minutes, but I've never had to deal with hard peanut butter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opened-peanut-butter-fridge-or-pantry#post-2826185 Mon, 04 Jun 2018 12:25:04 +0000 alphagam84 2826185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <br /><p><i>This comment has been deleted by the original poster.</i></p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opened-peanut-butter-fridge-or-pantry#post-2826184 Mon, 04 Jun 2018 12:24:29 +0000 alphagam84 2826184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always in the pantry. I tried the fridge before for the natural stuff and it was so hard and stiff to use. Never had an issue with spoiling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opened-peanut-butter-fridge-or-pantry#post-2826032 Sun, 03 Jun 2018 07:45:06 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2826032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fridge!

Now I leave it on the counter. The oils do separate and I have to stir it a little but at least it’s spreadable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opened-peanut-butter-fridge-or-pantry#post-2826007 Sat, 02 Jun 2018 21:16:34 +0000 Foodnerd81 2826007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: Jif definitely goes in the pantry! In my house that’s “daddy’s peanut butter” because the kids and I usually eat the natural kind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opened-peanut-butter-fridge-or-pantry#post-2826003 Sat, 02 Jun 2018 20:02:38 +0000 SweetiePie 2826003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I should have clarified, traditional PB. Like Jiff or Skippy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opened-peanut-butter-fridge-or-pantry#post-2826001 Sat, 02 Jun 2018 19:26:21 +0000 dolphin 2826001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fridge </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opened-peanut-butter-fridge-or-pantry#post-2825999 Sat, 02 Jun 2018 18:59:32 +0000 newlypregnantlady 2825999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours says refrigerate after opening so it goes in the fridge. The Market Pantry (I think Target generic?) says “to reduce oil separation, refrigerate after opening”. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opened-peanut-butter-fridge-or-pantry#post-2825992 Sat, 02 Jun 2018 16:12:48 +0000 Sams Mom 2825992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Counter top for us, but my mom uses the natural and just keeps it on the counter upside down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opened-peanut-butter-fridge-or-pantry#post-2825989 Sat, 02 Jun 2018 15:44:37 +0000 Portboston 2825989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do the fresh ground pb so it goes in the fridge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opened-peanut-butter-fridge-or-pantry#post-2825987 Sat, 02 Jun 2018 15:18:17 +0000 Foodnerd81 2825987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with the above- pantry for regular, fridge for natural that you have to stir. </p> <p>@MrsKRB: most of my natural PB doesn’t get hard at all in the fridge. Like it’s still runny usually. And I’ve bought a bunch of different brands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opened-peanut-butter-fridge-or-pantry#post-2825979 Sat, 02 Jun 2018 13:44:48 +0000 MrsKRB 2825979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pantry, I hate hard peanut butter. I keep my natural pb turned over so it doesn’t separate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opened-peanut-butter-fridge-or-pantry#post-2825977 Sat, 02 Jun 2018 13:34:42 +0000 erinbaderin 2825977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fridge for natural, cupboard for the other stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opened-peanut-butter-fridge-or-pantry#post-2825975 Sat, 02 Jun 2018 13:31:33 +0000 KT326 2825975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fridge.

Pantry for something like Jif or Skippy. Fridge for something without hydrogenated oils that separates, because the cold will prevent separation and because those don't have preservatives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opened-peanut-butter-fridge-or-pantry#post-2825969 Sat, 02 Jun 2018 12:50:18 +0000 SweetiePie 2825969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just as title says - once you open a jar of PB, where does it go? Help me settle a minor dispute. </p>
