When you make toast with peanut butter do you butter the toast first?
-
What if it starts a fire? Need an answer soonish!
I think you probably need a toaster oven to do this
-
We are having a family breakfast and the debate came up. Do you butter the toast before putting on the peanut butter? Or do you just put the peanut butter straight on your toast?
I initially thought you meant do you put peanut butter on the bread first before you toast it
I can't describe the emotions I was feeling

I didn't realize there was people that put butter on their toast before putting peanut butter on. Like, I can see it with jam because the intent is for the butter to hold the jam on. But peanut butter is already sticky, so I never really thought of it.

???
butter, famously the stuff used to lubricate fat children who have become stuck in another object
we don't use a toxic, heart attack causing substance made with cruelty, violence, and atrocity to make the jam stick. we do it because it's an addictive substance, and the fat it adds makes things taste good.

this may depend on the jam. I found when I make homemade jam that if I don't have a butter bottom, it ends up gliding all over the toast and doesn't spread as easy/doesn't stick
It depends entirely on the jelly/ jam and consistency of such. Different temperatures will have different results as well. It pretty much comes down to how wet your spread is.

If you use real aka crunchy peanut butter rather than smooth heavily processed, the butter makes it easier to spread

I butter the pan when I toast my bread. After that I normally just use whatever topping of the day (peanut butter, jam, etc). I've found that pan toasting is really the only way to get your toast perfect. Toaster ovens just end up wasting counter space you could otherwise use for something you can't achieve with a pan

What kind of jam are you making? My partner recently got into making blackberry jam and we dont have issues with liquidity. Maybe the jam needs to be dehydrated more before it's canned?

It's best to toast buttered bread while taking a bath. That way you can quickly extinguish any fires.

You can make smooth peanut butter without heavily processing it. Just leave it in the blender a little longer.

That was certainly part of what I was feeling

I don't put butter on at all because I never had the thought of butter and peanut butter flavors going well together. Just peanut butter and frequently some honey stirred in a little bit so it doesn't drip off.
Butter goes on before jam or jelly when I do it that way.

Wait till you try cashew butter
Or pistachio butter

I will occasionally butter one piece, peanut butter the other, and have a truly decadent toasted peanut butter sandwich.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I'm not sure what type it is called, we combine sure jell pectin, sugar and berries. So it's not /completly/ homemade as it is using an agent, but it's close enough for us.
We made raspberry and blackberry jam with it. Blackberry is the one that I tend to have that issue with, raspberry is hit or miss but generally good

Most non-americans I know use a toaster, not a toaster oven. These require quite a bit less space and are significantly quicker than bread & pan method (also lower calorie, because you don't need to butter or oil the bread before "cooking").
For those of us who eat toast on the daily, a standard English style toaster is absolutely essential.

I only pair jam/jelly with buttered toast. Butter AND peanut butter seems like you're just adding calories for no reason (can you even really taste the butter under peanut butter?).
When I was an exchange student in Australia in the late '90s, I remember the family I stayed with with would add butter to EVERY sandwich they made, regardless of what the other contents were. Ham and cheese with mayo? Butter first. Turkey club? Add butter. Just cheese? Also butter. Adding any other condiments to your sandwich, like mustard? There better be butter added first.
I dunno if it's just an American thing to NOT add butter to every piece of bread depending on the meal, or what.

Hell yeah!

Butter fire is the tastiest fire. I'm just sayin'...
