#i think about that poll every day because i make a pb&j every day

[confinesofmy]

the thing that gets me about that poll about how many knives you use to make a pb&j is that some people answered one and said they went from the jelly to the peanut butter because you can quickly and easily "clean the knife" by wiping it on the bread but that's the opposite direction you should go in if you want to actually keep things clean. the peanut butter is shelf stable af. it can stick around without rotting for a long time. but the jelly meanwhile will last about a week without refrigeration. if that. so repeatedly inserting little bits of fruit and sugar in your jar that hangs out unrefrigerated for months is actually the worse option for cross contamination, even if it's more visually acceptable.
