1. Is cold peanut butter a misery? I grew up in a cupboard pb home, and I enjoy fridge pb as much as cupboard pb. What temperature do you keep your fridge at?

2. Storing upside down is a precaution against oily messes because the oils separate on top of the peanut solids, and so is under the peanut solids when upside down. Also, I mentioned that at the fridge temperatures the oil congeals, and so remains mixed when refrigerated, avoiding any oily mess.

What do you use your peanut butter for? Baking?

I primarily put peanut butter on toast. Cold peanut butter will tear apart a piece of toast (and also make it into cold bread).

De gustibus non est disputandum
Truth.

To that point my favorite peanut butter is hot melted peanut butter warmed by being spread over recently toasted bread.

I discovered that it's much easier to dip apples slices in peanut butter if I nuke the peanut butter for 30 seconds. Now I don't get frustrated by my apples breaking off in my peanut butter.
