The closest spread to peanut butter I've found in terms of flavor and texture is sunflower seed butter. It's also relatively easy to find; I've seen it in large chain grocery stores right next to the peanut butter.
A curmudgeon with years of practice. The bubbles in boiling water are steam or vaporized water. The bubbles initially do not reach the surface of the billing fluid as the colder water away from the hot bottom cools the steam turning it back to liquid. WHen all the water is at 100oC the bubbles reach the top.
A few bubbles is not a boil. Boiling means that all of the water is at 100Â° C (adjusted for altitude/purity/etc.). If you measure the water temperature you'll see that the first bubbles start to form at a much lower temperature than that. â Aaronutâ¦ Nov 27 '11 at 3:44.
