re: Why does anyone store butter in the fridge?

Why not just do the smell test?

Do it every time I’m with your mom

A better question would be why to you care where people store their butter.

I keep mine in my cargo pockets with my tater tots.

I can't stand spreading butter on toast with a damn butter knife

That's because you should have soft, room temp butter for your toast.

We buy Kerrygold from Costco. Freeze blocks that aren't in use, and put a block out in a covered dish by our stove. I have yet to have a spoilage issue in 5+ years, and butter is so much easier to work with. I def can't go back to leaving my butter in the fridge.

We go through a block every 2 weeks or so. I usually do a little butter + avocado oil for greasing pans, and we usually do pancakes every Saturday, where we out butter on top of pancakes.

You’ve had the same 4 sticks of butter in your fridge for 2 years?

but rarely use butter

ok as long as you realize margarine is the debil

We keep a half stick on the counter. Much easier to put butter on toast.

Friend,

We agree with you. We keep several pounds of butter in the refrigerator, but a stick is always kept on the counter. I’ve had a stick of butter out for weeks at a time. No one ever became sick after eating nor did I notice an unusual taste as a result.

I dont keep butter in the refrigerator.
