What is your favorite peanut butter?

[Patrick425]

Skippy creamy...Wait? there are other brands?

And if you use anything other than Welch's grape jelly on Mrs. Karl's bread to complete the PB&J then there is obviously something wrong with you.

As for PB going bad, I never refrigerated the oil less stuff and it was always fine. I can't believe it would be a problem for a year or two at least.

Oddly enough, the "can peanut butter go bad" and "do you refrigerate your peanut butter" discussion threads have actually come up before...amazing the things that are discussed here. I think the final opinion was, if it's commercial brand stuff (Skippy, Peter Pan, Jif, etc.), it's good for at least a year (there is a "best if used by" date on most peanut butters, and it's usually at least a year). The only thing that will happen to them sometimes is a little of the oil will seperate, it's not necassarily a problem, just has to be mixed up again when it does. Also, these peanut butters don't need to be refrigerated, and I think you're probably a Cubs fan if you do.

 

However, if you are buying organic peanut butter, it should be refrigerated after opening, and eaten fairly soon after (a couple months I would guess?).

 

Finally, has anyone tried P.B. Loco Cafe? I've actually never been there, but every food item they sell revolves around peanut butter, hence, the name. It sounds like a quirky concept, and interesting...but I can't imagine how they are still in business. My brother bought peanut butter from there once, it was flavored with sun-dried tomatoes, and needless to say, nearly the most disgusting thing I ever tried.

Most definitely Jif creamy. Best peanut taste.
