How to stir peanut butter in 30 seconds.

You guys with the store brand. With all due respect, it's not the same stuff because of added--probably palm-- oil, corn sweeteners and similar stuff.

Of course you're right; can't disagree at all.

hey, any day you can use power tools in food prep is a good day in my book!

That attachment is called a dough hook.

Yup, and it hooks into either a hand held or fixed mixer that would take the palce of the power drill so you don't have any dirt from the tool shed falling into your peanut butter!

Looks like it works, but...

In my nearly 3/4 century, I've never heard of stirring peanut butter.

I do remember white "butter" in plastic bags, and you had to break a packet of yellow dye that was inside, and then knead the bag to make the butter yellow. Some kind of stirrer would have been good.

But I never heard of doing anything to peanut butter, or of a need to. Is Ohio peanut better different than that in the far western states?

during ww2 fats were rationed.. a substitute that required less rationing points was oleo margerine. it is white, came with a pack of yellow coloring.

Not long ago, we bought a Cuisinart 7 Speed Electric Hand Mixer that has two dough hooks, which we have never used; might have to try some kind of peanut butter you need to mix.:laughing:

For me, I confess to being an off-the-shelf Jif Extra Crunchy guy. :licking:

Me too.... :drink:

Didn't they also used to call margarine "Oleo"?

Bruce, you must be nearly as old as I am. I still remember when that white margarine with the dye was something new.

Yup, "Oleo margerine" was what my parents bought at the A&P in the 50's. Dad insisted he couldn't tell the difference in taste between it and real butter. Boy, I sure could, and to this day still I don't know if he was pulling my leg.

To do the mixing correctly, a CNC Mill/Drill must be used. Clamp the jar in circular jaws padded with rubber to match the radius of the jar. Program a series of circular or elliptical tool paths with a vertical motion for the best mixing action. RPM and feedrate can be adjusted to the taster's choice.
Apple butter can be mixed correctly also with the above method.

We think alike. Any excuse for a new tool. :thumbsup:

Bird...you don't need "organic" PB. Organic is a fraudulent phrase these days anyway. BUT, give yourself a birthday favor and get a jar of 100% peanut butter and see again how great real peanut butter can be. The best deal is Costco but it's OK to buy a smaller, high priced jar at WalMart for the taste test. [snip]

Sixdogs, thanks for this! Not sure our local Costco has the 100% PB, but I'll sure try to remember to check next time I'm there. It's where I get my Jif Extra Crunchy, btw. :licking:
