Real butter and toast

Just do a couple tablespoons for a few seconds. Don't do the whole stick and recool it lol

Keep it out.... With that said..... Butter will frick up your cholesterol when you get old..... I can't use it anymore.... Feel sad for me...... Although honey, cinnamon and dark chocolate is pretty dam good.

Yes and no. Most butter dishes allow air in, and thus doesn't keep as long. Use a butter crock. It seals in the butter using water, and keeps for a long time. Always soft and good to go.

You can take it out of the fridge and soften. You can leave butter out. You can buy whipped butter which is already soft but take it out a bit early. You can melt it butter in the microwave and brush it on.

Butter is terrific.

We use this. Not exactly butter but it tastes good

You don't need to keep butter in the fridge if you use it quickly. Get a butter dish and keep that on the counter.

If you can't go through a whole stick before it goes rancid, you can buy butter in half sticks. Most of the butter lives in the freezer. One half stick lives in the fridge. One half stick in the butter dish. When the butter dish gets low, a new stick comes out of the freezer into the fridge and the fridge stick becomes the new counter stick.

I like to keep some in the fridge so I don't have to cook with frozen butter and the counter butter for eating directly, but that's just me.

I buy the huge packs at Costco so I keep a stick in the butter dish at all times, but the rest is in the fridge

You know that's what I meant.

Two words: butter bell

or

One word: microwave- I usually cut a piece off and pop it into the microwave and put that baby on "soften" for about 45 seconds.

I thought I was the oldest guy here. What are you? 90? Having said that I eat butter all the time and thanks to Lipitor, I have the best/lowest cholesterol money can buy!
