How to stir peanut butter in 30 seconds.

[Bird]

You would think I'd have known all there is to know about peanuts, since I've been a peanut addict most of my life. Even have a 10 year old Chihuahua that is also a peanut addict. Both of us like just about any kind of peanuts and I vary in what I buy of Planter's; dry roasted, Virginia, redskins, etc. The Chihuahua likes them all, too, but if we're having redskins, she will take the peanut in her mouth, then spit out the red skin. I have no idea how she can separate the peanut from the skin in her mouth, but she'll do it without fail. She will not eat the red skin.

And of course my comment above about a "highly scientific experiment" was tongue in cheek if anyone didn't realize it.:laughing:

Those redskins stick to the roof of my mouth. I don't blame your chihuahua for spitting them out.

Now that you're on a roll, here are some other good things to do with real peanut butter:

*You can give some to a dog and not worry about the sugar content of the jars of that other stuff bothering their teeth
*The wife can make some of the best peanut butter cookies you have ever had.
*Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches again taste like they used to.

There's even a recent discovery about using the smell of peanut butter to determine if one has early onset dementia. By the way, you can get big cans of dry roasted peanuts at Sam's Club for a decent price.

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches again taste like they used to.

My wife likes to put peanut butter on one slice of bread the jelly on the other slice, then put then together for a sandwich. I, on the other hand, like to thoroughly mix the peanut butter and jelly first, then spread on the bread or crackers.

That's where I buy my peanuts . . . except, when I want redskins. Sam's Club has never had them, at least around here. So I have to settle for the smaller cans from Walmart. Right now the Chihuahua (Dee) and I are working on one of those big cans of Extra Large Virginia Peanuts. The last big can was the Dry Roasted, and the next can will probably be Dry Roasted again.

Peanut butter and crackers, now you're talking. I just wish I could find crackers like they used to be, 4 squares in one cracker, the perfect size for sandwiches. I'm old enough to remember peanut butter with oil on the top and the bag of Oleo with the color packet inside. I also remember license sticker on the windshield instead of license plate. Great tip on the dough hook stirrer, I just use a table knife, but been a while since I've bought the unpasturized peanut butter, I'll try it again, just so I can break out the power tools.

I just dug into my jar of Wally World "natural" "non-stir" PB. Been sitting at least a month and only a little bit of oil had sepearated, not enough to bother stirring it.

Just four ingredients: Peanuts, sugar, palm oil, salt

Harry...surely you know that's not the real deal?

That's what the label says. Just about the same as the 'name' brands.

I had an idea of taking an electric hand mixer beater and cutting most of the tines off for mixing my peanut butter. But someone in here mention dough hooks for electric hand mixers and I didn't know they existed. Problem solved!

About 10 years ago I was on a week long rafting trip down the Grand Canyon. The first morning along with breakfast they had toasted English muffins and I asked for some peanut butter. I opened it up and probably said ewww. The guide said it's natural and just needed stirring. Ever since then I switched to the natural types. The guide was right, it was a better peanut butter.
