Storing Peanut Butter

The oil in natural peanut butter often collects at the top because natural nut butter does not contain stabilizers that keep the peanut oil and the butter from separating. You might find it annoying having to stir the oil every time you want to have some peanut butter but folks at Reader’s Digest have a handy tip that needs zero elbow grease. Since liquids have the tendency to rise, store your jar of peanut butter upside down to keep the oil from separating. Just rotate the jar after you use it.

Shredding Chicken

A common way to shred chicken is by using two forks, but this can take a lot of time and the chicken doesn’t always get shredded uniformly. Shredding chicken can be made easier and faster by following a smart hint offered by the cooks at Food.com. In the bowl of a stand mixer, place the boneless chicken. Using the paddle attachments, set the mixer at low speed and let it run for a few minutes. A hand mixer can also be used but make sure you break the chicken up prior to mixing.
