Ok, so I just opened this sucker....do I need to put it in the fridge? I kept my last jar in the fridge and it was very hard to spread whenever I needed it - can I keep it in the cabinet?

I usually spread on crackers, sometimes with cheese too....any other unique uses for Marmite?

Any other uses in cooking? Like as a flavoring enhancer?

Lets talk Marmite! so salty, so yeasty, so good :)

hmmm - as it appears if you are eating good food with the ones you love you will be living life to its fullest, surely laughing and smiling throughout!!!

Leave it in the cabinet, it's fine there. That's where I keep mine, just out of sunlight.

I just got a jar of the new "Guinness Marmite" - £2.49 and no difference whatsoever - What's that all about?

Please take a quick look at my stuff.

NEVER in the fridge - there have been some other threads on this too ref to cooking uses

I just keep it in the cupboard. I don't think any known microbe (or at least any harmful ones) could survive in it!

no fridge. Keeps for years after opening. With its high salt content, I dont think anything could grow in/on it, except perhaps microbes from the Dead or Salton Seas.

Yum --- just bought a sourdough loaf of bread (fresh from bakery section,.....I LOVE sourdough bread...its the combo of the sourness and the chewy bread with the crusty exterior) and spread on some marmite, covered liberally (like three slices....thick sliced) of sharp cheddar...popped in toaster oven until it was browned

SO GOOD

I've found the best bread (also for paninis and all sorts of other uses) with Marmite is Trader Joe's Tuscan Pane, which comes pre-sliced for under $2, I think. Toasted, loaded with butter and then smeared with Marmite ... I could eat it all day.

Once I made the grave mistake of creating a marmite, peanut butter, tomato, sriracha, rocket, and amba (pickled mango) sandwich. Illness ensued.

Disturbingly, my capacity for logic was not that far gone: marmite + peanut butter is good, peanut butter + sriracha + tomato is good, tomato + pickled mango is good . . . however, all of these things together, well, not so good.

Came up with a new use for Marmite this afternoon. Melted some down with butter and drizzled over popcorn. I highly recommend.

Chappie, that sounds amazing. I'm looking on my shelf now and I have popcorn...I have Marmite but it's 1:30am - Maybe tomorrow.

What better time is there than 1:30 a.m. for Marmite-buttered popcorn?

I wonder how it would taste in a caramel, sort of a sweet/savory caramel, then mixed with popcorn and formed into balls...

No need to refrigerate it. It will last for months if not years in the cupboard.

Not in my household!

I'm noticing, now that we live in a slightly more humid area, that the marmite <gasp> slowly gets runny when stored in the cupboard! This goes against a lifetime of experience and is extremely disconcerting of a morning.
