Re: Butter keeping

I use Land O Lakes spreadable butter in Canola oil .... I keep it in the refrigerator until I am ready to use it ... it spreads so easily & is really tasty 😋

I never leave my butter sitting out all the time. Keep it in the fridge in a covered butter dish and bring it out about 20 minutes before I want to use it..... Do keep an extra stick in the fridge, but freeze the rest until needed. Don't really use a lot of butter, but also use Land O Lakes soft spread with Granola for frying my sunny side up eggs.

Would never leave any butter out uncovered. Have enough dust in the apartment, and don't want it on my butter. LOL

in the fridge. i had a little boston a few years back and she could tell the difference between butter and maragine. she would eat bread with butter but put the other stuff on it and she could turn up her nose. we used to bet people that she could tell the diffrence and everyone would bet she couldn't but she did. she just would not eat anything that wasn't real butter.

I used to keep it out in a butter bell. Now I take it out of the fridge in the morning if I know I'm going to be using it. It's in a covered butter dish.

I usually buy two pounds at a time at will vac-seal it in one and two cube packets to keep in the freezer.

When I am going to need some I take one out of the freezer and put in the refrigerator until needed.

Then I take that one and pierce it with a knife along all the 'tbs' markings on the paper, remove it from the paper, and put it into a little Lock & Lock container and keep in a cool place in my kitchen. That's usually one cabinet away from the west wall, stove, window, etc, so it will stay nicely.

But then I don't keep my house super warm like a lot of people do, during the cooler months. Usually my house, in the fall/winter, is around 59 to 60 degrees during the day and 54 or less at night.

In the summer it stores well like that (just one cube at a time) because it's in a cool part of my kitchen. My kitchen is on the west border of the house so that west wall can get a little warm but the rest of the kitchen stays cool.

Just curious...what is the reason for water at the bottom of the butter dish

IIRC, it's just to keep a little coolness in there especially during warmer weather. This is why you also need to change it out fairly frequently to keep it cool. HTH

@chickenbutt......OMGosh, I would be freezing my rear off at your house. I am always cold now since I've had those cancer treatments. That is one complaint that most of us have. Can hardly get warm enough. Got my gas bill, and it more than doubled from the previous month. But, we did have some pretty cold weather here too. Guess I'm a good customer to the gas company....they must love folks like me.

I have invested in some Cuddl Dud sets.....and they help to keep me warm. That's how I am dressed today. It was 19 here this morning....and that's pretty darned cold.
