DigitalDave 0 #1 December 31, 2009 If you're making a PB&J sammich, and you only have one knife and no sink to wash it in .. Do you put on the peanut butter first and then dip the knife into the jelly, and risk contaminating the jelly with the peanut butter .. or put on the jelly first and risk contaminating the peanut butter?

BillyVance 34 #2 December 31, 2009 Paper towel. I wipe the knife completely after spreading with one, and then dip in the other.

quade 3 #3 December 31, 2009 If you must, then use some logic. Peanut butter doesn't need to be refrigerated, jelly does. If you get some peanut butter in the jelly there's no issue since the jelly will end up in the fridge. If you get some jelly in the peanut butter, you're asking for trouble if you don't put it in the fridge.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DigitalDave 0 #5 December 31, 2009 Yes, that is my current logic. But peanut butter in the jelly is nasty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silent_pumpkin 0 #6 December 31, 2009 Jelly on one slice and wipe both sides of the knife on the other slice (pre-peanut butter). Apply peanut butter. Done. If you want an answer to contamination, peanut butter in the jelly jar is far superior to jelly in the peanut butter. At least the jelly jar goes in the fridge assuming you are an average person and keep the pb at room temp. Bacterial growth will be halted in the fridge, but jelly in the pb at RT will only exasperate bacterial growth. If you keep both in the fridge, then whatever floats your boat.

I'm also a Biol major and i rely on the mild antiseptic qualities of saliva to clean my knife. Also the alpha Amylase helps to predigest the peanut butter or Jam in the jarYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing?
