milovany Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 :lol: That's what my 11yo dd just said as she got out the big Adam's peanut butter that needed stirring. She didn't realize her funny (that they don't add oil to peanut butter; it's already in there -- so it really IS "just nuts!") until my dh started laughing.

SarahW Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Well, the kind you don't stir usually does have added oil. Life is weird like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 have you looked at the ingredients list? most brands of peanut butter does have added oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 have you looked at the ingredients list? most brands of peanut butter does have added oil. The OP has the natural kind that separates and therefore requires stirring the oil in. Doesn't the non-stir kind replace the peanut oil with shortening-like oil? That was what I thought. As a kid I thought the same thing and poured some out. Yeah, that was not a smart move. It was veeery dry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 we get our peanut butter form a health food shop where we grind the nuts and pay by weight. Funnily enough it doesn't get any oil on the top at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough it doesn't get any oil on the top at all. Do you go home from the shop and put it in the frig? I think it would separate if it sat, and anything preground that's on the shelf meets that criteria. And once stirred, if you refrigerate, it maintains the texture, but I think if you let it sit out, it will separate again. That's all I can think of.

Melissa in Australia Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 No it doesn't separate refrigerated or not. perhaps it is the type of peanuts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We go through a regular jar pretty quick and it doesn't really re-separate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
