These still-vital hands have let me know that I need to have some tricks up my sleeve when that jar of roasted peppers just won’t cooperate. The first thing to consider is the vacuum seal that was created when the lid was screwed on the hot jar at the factory.
The Only Way You Should Store Peanut Butter, According to SKIPPY

5 days ago | simplyrecipes.com | Stella Totino

Simply Recipes / Getty ImagesKey TakeawaysPeanut butter can be safely stored at room temperature or in the fridge. Where you store is more a matter of preference: room temperature peanut butter is softer and more spreadable; peanut butter from the fridge is more firm. If storing at room temperature, note that the oil can start to go rancid after 2 to 3 months. Avoid this by moving your peanut butter to the fridge. After years of restaurant experience, I know my way around a kitchen.

1 week ago | simplyrecipes.com | Mary Jo DiLonardo

Store ground beef in the coldest part of the fridge: the back of the bottom shelf. Make sure the temperature of your fridge is below 40°F to prevent premature spoilage. Use ground beef within two days of putting it in your fridge. Sometimes when I buy ground beef for making burgers or meatballs, I tuck the package away in the fridge and forget about it. When I happen upon it, the meat may have changed color and I worry if it’s still fresh.

For the past several years, every time I was parched when out shopping at ALDI, I would grab a bottle of PurAqua Italian Sparkling Mineral Water. Unfortunately, the water didn’t come in four or six packs (I checked!). They were only sold in small single bottles in the refrigerator found just before the checkout line to tempt people like me, who worked up a thirst while shopping. But recently, I discovered that my favorite ALDI checkout refreshment is now available in a bigger size.
