Do you have to put peanut sauce in the refrigerator? Food manufacturers announce answers

Stella Totino, a website contributor at Simply Recipes, has been cooking at home for many years, but still can't figure out whether peanut sauce should be kept in the refrigerator, so he asked Sam Hovick, brand manager of SKIPPY, a peanut sauce manufacturer.

Peanut sauce can be placed in the refrigerator and the cabinet

Horvik's answer to her is that it is all about the refrigerator and the cabinet, and all the preferences are good. However, this does not mean that the effect will be the same if it continues.

The most obvious thing is that peanut sauce will become harder. Hovek said this is ideal for people who like to spoon into bread. If placed in a room temperature, it is easier to make peanut sauce and fruit sauce sandwiches, or the peanut sauce honey sandwiches that Totino prefers.

If you have not finished eating in the room after two or three months, it is best to put the refrigerator in the refrigerator

, whether it is natural or no-stir peanut sauce, it is not allowed to put the refrigerator after being opened. The room environment will be safe for several months. However, if you have not finished eating in the room after two or three months, it is best to put it in the refrigerator because the oil ingredients will taste bad early.

If it is SKIPPY brand, no matter whether it is natural peanut sauce (oil floats on it) or free peanut sauce, it does not require different treatment, because Hovek said, "It has been specially treated, and the separation between oil and sauce is properly controlled."

Of course, the service life of the peanut sauce is longer, because stability agents are added during the manufacturing process, and the shelf time can be longer. Regardless of which type, or whether it is in the refrigerator, as long as it sounds or tastes, it becomes odorous, or even sour or rotten, don't be suspicious and the whole bottle/can will be wiped off. In addition, Hovek reminds everyone to pay attention to the date of the "Best if Used By" before buying to ensure safety.
