The Only Way You Should Store Peanut Butter, According to SKIPPY

After years of restaurant experience, I know my way around a kitchen. This means I’m usually the one in my household calling the shots about pretty much everything kitchen-related, but I am particularly conscious of food safety. Having gone through multiple food safety courses, I know just how important it is to properly reheat frozen foods, correctly re-use ziptop bags, and everything in between.

When it comes to storing foods, however, there are a few household staples that even seasoned home cooks like myself find confusing. The one ubiquitous (and favorite in my household) food item that I’m never sure if I should stick in the fridge or pantry is peanut butter.

Without much consensus out there on the internet, or in real life chatting with fellow food folks, I conferred with Sam Hovick, a brand manager at beloved peanut butter brand SKIPPY, to get his suggestions.
