How to stir peanut butter in 30 seconds.

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:

Well let us know how a JIF connoisseur compares the old standby to the "natural" stuff. enquiring minds want to know.

A peanut fell on the railroad track

His heart was all a flutter

Along came a great big choo-choo train

Toot toot peanut butter

I've had a membership in Sam's Club since the first one showed up in Dallas, but never in Costco. And now we have two Sam's Club stores closer than any Costco, so I probably won't ever shop at Costco even though I've heard good things about Costco.

Supermarkets have 100% peanut butter. Just find one with two ingredients: peanuts and salt. If you can't find it, PM me and I'll find somewhere near you that carries it.

Yeah, I was in the nearest Walmart this morning and they had several brands, with the ones labelled "organic' priced a lot higher of course. We used to buy Jif and then started buying the store brand (Great Value) without really looking at the labels and all the brands. Anyway I bought a small jar of Smuckers with ingredients listed just as roasted peanuts and less than 1% salt. I'm going to experiment with stirring it with a dough hook, then experiment with taste testing to see whether we want to change brands or not.:laughing:

OK, just completed a highly scientific experiment. As mentioned above, the Smuckers ingredients are listed only as "peanuts, contains 1% or less of salt". The Great Value ingredients are listed as "roasted peanuts, sugar, contains 2% or less of molasses, hydrogenated vegetable oils (rapeseed, cottonseed, soybean oil), salt", but also has "ALLERGY WARNING: CONTAINS PEANUTS, MAY CONTAIN TRACES OF MILK, EGGS, ANCHOVIES, WHEAT AND SOY". The only thing that surprises me is "anchovies"???? Both jars of peanut butter were the "creamy" type.

But to continue . . . when my wife saw me opening 2 jars of peanut butter, and putting the dough hook in the mixer, she asked, "Are you fixin' to make a mess?" and I replied, "Quite possibly". As it turned out, no mess at all.

First I mixed the Smuckers pure peanut better that had oil on top when I started. Even when I turned it up to the 7th speed, no mess. When it was thoroughly mixed, I washed the dough hook, then did the same mixing to the Great Value peanut butter. Then came the taste tests; my wife and her sister participated.

And the conclusions; the pure peanut butter was slightly thinner in texture than the other, and all 3 testers agreed that the pure peanut butter tasted better. So I reckon we'll only buy the pure peanut butter in the future and mix it when needed.

And we thank sixdogs for starting this thread with good information.

Well there we have it folks, A scientific test with results!

You could make one with a piece of stiff wire.

Thought about that, then found one in the local thrift store (the only store in town) for two bits. Now I just need to be able to find it when this jar runs out.

So pure peanut butter is Bird Approved. :laughing::laughing::laughing: Bird needs to get a trade marked symbol that can be stamped on Bird Approved products.

A bird with a :thumbsup: driving a tractor would work. :laughing::laughing::laughing:

Speaking of bird and peanuts, I have an African grey that loves em. He'll take it hull and all and can opener the top, dig the nut out, slip in his beak and work that thing for 10minutes, all the while still holding the half empty hull in one foot and clung to the freed perch with the other.
