Questions about Creamy peanut butter
How do you stop creamy peanut butter separating in the jar?
Stir it thoroughly from the bottom up as soon as you open it, then keep the jar tightly closed. If oil gathers on top again, stir it back in; refrigerating it can slow separation but makes it much firmer.
How do you make a smooth peanut butter sauce for noodles?
Whisk creamy peanut butter with warm water a spoonful at a time, then add soy sauce, lime juice and a little chilli. Keep whisking until it turns glossy and pourable; loosen it with more warm water if it thickens.
Can you use creamy peanut butter in baking?
Yes: it works well in biscuits, brownies and satay-style bakes. For biscuits, beat it with butter and sugar before adding the egg and flour; use the amount the recipe specifies, since peanut butter adds substantial fat and can make dough crumbly.
What can you use instead of creamy peanut butter?
For a similar texture, use smooth almond or cashew butter; tahini works in sauces and baking but tastes more savoury and slightly bitter. If you are replacing it because of a peanut allergy, check that the alternative and other ingredients are safe for you.
How should you store creamy peanut butter after opening?
Keep the lid on tightly and store the jar in a cool, dry cupboard, away from the cooker and direct sunlight. Refrigeration is not usually needed and makes it harder to spread.
What is the difference between creamy and crunchy peanut butter?
Creamy peanut butter is ground until smooth, while crunchy peanut butter contains pieces of peanut. Their nutrition can be broadly similar, but the exact figures depend on the product.
Can you give peanut butter to a dog?
Only a small amount, and only after checking the ingredients: some peanut butters contain xylitol, which is highly toxic to dogs. Avoid giving it to a dog that has a known peanut allergy, and do not offer a big sticky lump that could be difficult to swallow.
