We buy all natural peanut butter, which means it separates when it sits out at room temperature.
To mix the peanut butter in the jar, I stick one (and only one) beater in the electric beaters, plunge it into the peanut butter and turn it on to low or medium low. I carefully move the one beater up and down until all the oil is mixed in.
Then I scrape off the beater and offer it as a reward to whatever child happens to be shadowing me in the kitchen. I store the peanut butter in the fridge and no longer suffer from dry crusty peanut butter in the bottom of the jar!

I’m not kidding. You are brilliant. You should see my imitation of a “shake-the-fat-off-your-backside” when I clutch my natural peanut butter jar in two hands, lid and bottom, and then desperately try to incorporate as much oil as possible. Then I carefully open it up and stir it with a knife, but never carefully enough, as the oil drips down the side of the jar, staining the wrapper, and likely the finish on our wood table…I will try your way. Much better.
