Questions about Smooth style peanut butter

How much smooth peanut butter is a typical serving?

A level tablespoon is about 32 g. Spread it on toast or stir it into porridge rather than eating it straight from the jar if you want a measured portion.

How do you stop smooth peanut butter splitting in the jar?

Stir it thoroughly from the bottom upwards when you first open it, then store it upside down so the oil is less likely to gather at the top. If it has separated, a sturdy butter knife or small spatula works better than a spoon.

Do you need to refrigerate smooth peanut butter after opening?

Most commercial jars can be kept in a cool, dry cupboard; refrigeration can make the spread stiff and harder to spread. Follow the storage directions on the jar, and use a clean utensil to avoid introducing crumbs or moisture.

What can you make with smooth peanut butter besides sandwiches?

Whisk it with soy sauce, lime juice, a little warm water and chilli for a quick dipping sauce for noodles or vegetables. It also blends into satay sauce, smoothies, porridge and peanut-butter biscuits.

Can you use smooth peanut butter instead of crunchy peanut butter?

Yes: use the same amount in sauces, baking and sandwiches. You will lose the nutty pieces, so add chopped peanuts if you want crunch.

How is smooth peanut butter different from natural peanut butter?

Smooth describes the texture, while natural usually describes a simpler ingredient list, often peanuts and salt. Natural peanut butter can separate, so stir it; smooth peanut butter may contain added ingredients that keep it creamy.

Can you cook with smooth peanut butter?

Yes. For a sauce, loosen it with warm water, stock or coconut milk and stir until smooth; add it towards the end so it does not catch on the pan. It also works in baking, though its oils and sugars can affect the texture and sweetness.

Can babies or young children eat smooth peanut butter?

Smooth peanut butter is less of a choking risk than whole peanuts, but it is thick and sticky; spread a thin layer or stir it into yoghurt or porridge rather than offering a spoonful. Introduce peanut in an age-appropriate form, and seek advice from a health professional if you have concerns about allergies.
