The main reason I buy salted butter is that it doesn't spoil as quickly at room temperature as unsalted. I keep half a stick in a butter dish at room temp for spreading on toast, muffins, etc. and it stays good for a couple of weeks vs. a couple of days for unsalted.


I leave a stick of each on the counter (salted for spreading, unsalted for cooking). Sometimes a stick may last a couple of weeks. Never noticed either going bad.

People buy one or the other? I use both liberally. Unsalted for cooking, salted in the butter dish on the counter for spreading.

I don't add salt to anything we cook. Salt and pepper shakers are made so people can add to their liking.

Same. I never buy salted butter. I buy salt free seasoning and stock too. I also pretty much never add plain salt to dishes, usually with other ingredients there is enough already.


ETA: Steaks get salt while they rest, that's a definite exception.
