i never really grew up with peanut butter at home...but i got some today impulsively. is it better to leave in the fridge or can it be stored outside?

thanks

IIRC it does not have the "refridgerate after opening" instruction, so i would just keep it in the pantry. as they said, easier to spread too this way

is it all natural or like Peter Pan/Jif/Skippy?

all natural I keep in the fridge or all the oils will go to the top and you'll have to stir them back in.

Peter Pan/Jif/skippy you can store whereever.

you need to put it in the oven and leave it in at 300 degrees. or it will get nasty.

Doesn't really matter, I suppose it would last longer in the fridge (but get harder).

keep it in the CUPBOARD. a closet is where you store CLOTHES.

*edit* for the love of christ. :(

Natty peanut butter in the fridge, and 'fake' peanut butter (which I don't eat anymore) in the pantry.
