You guys have special tray for butter?
Yes, and it’s not in the fridge. the whole point of butter is preserving milk without refrigeration.
Refrigerated butter is too hard to spread. i don’t know how people do it
Depends on the climate obviously.
Because it turns to liquid if it’s not refrigerated?
Not unless you live in extremely hot areas.
I’m in southern england and it’s solid all year.
i’ve only had it go liquid one time when i was camping just outside paris in a tin box during a record heatwave

Well, there’s your problem
i’ll agree living where i do is a problem, certainly with my wallet. i dont see it as a butter problem
No, it turns awesome.
No the point of butter is eating it because it’s tasty and it’s tasty when cool.
Refrigerated butter is too hard to spread. i don’t know how people do it
If you need to spread it, you take it out a bit before.
thats not going to work with my regular emergency sandwiches
You guys put butter in the fridge?
It’s not actually necessary if you use a lot of it, but yes, a lot of people do in America. It got caught up in some health scare or another and people said “it’s dairy, right?”
No
Bitter butter makes batter bad. Better butter makes bitter batter better.
If your butter has eyes, you may have left it in the fridge for too long

Smell my dairy air, Phillip. Smell it.
I don’t even understand the butter tray in modern fridges. When I was a kid, that tray was basically in such a way that the cold didn’t really reach it so the butter didn’t get hard. These days that isn’t the case. What is the point?
What else am I going to put my extra dipping sauces from all the fast food spots?
Weird. I leave my butter out all the time and never noticed it going rancid. But we use it up pretty fast once it’s out. Also we get unsalted butter that’s heavily pasteurized so maybe it last longer? Today I learned.
The USDA does not have a recommendation to keep butter in the fridge.
You store it in the fridge before use to preserve the shape.
Once you start using a stick, leave it out.
Edit: You can keep SALTED on the counter
From the American Butter Institute
How to Store Salted Butter If salted butter is your go-to, it can be stored on your counter for a few days! Leaving a stick or two out at room temperature will do no harm if your kitchen is kept at 70 degrees or cooler. The salt content helps keep butter fresh, even out of the refrigerator. Once it’s softened, salted butter should be used within one week.

However, if butter is left out at room temperature for several days, the flavor can turn rancid so it’s best to leave out whatever you can use within a day or two.
Nah man. I thought this. My butter went bad and I didn’t realize until I ate a lot of it. I was putting it on bagels I was getting and I kept thinking they were mixing like rye seeds in there. That was the closest approximation I could conceive of because I thought the same as you.
Nope. I kept eating sour butter. It was fucking disgusting. Keep your butter in the fridge.
The USDA literally says the opposite of this. It turns rancid.
But don’t let some rando on the internet be the judge. Cut a stick in half, leave half out, wait a week, then taste.
