To keep butter out of the fridge?

[MardyBra]

We’re talking proper non-spreadable, goes rock solid in the fridge butter. Not weird-tasting, filled with chemicals so it spreads fake butter.

Always use real butter
Goes in fridge overnight but out all day

In a butter dish away from direct sunlight. Sorted.

Only goes in the fridge if it gets hot enough that it starts to dribble...

Butter lives in a butter dish when in use. The next unopened packet lives in the fridge.

Butter in use never lives in the fridge

I always cut a bit off the block at a time and keep in plastic food container and have that on the side in the kitchen. The rest I leave in the fridge until I need more.

I leave mine out so I can actually use it.....only issue is in summer (I'm in Aus) and leaving it out at 35 degree is gross

Those people saying butter from the fridge is unusable obviously don't like butter as much as I do. I like it cold from the fridge and then you can slice off slabs thin slivers. When it's gone soft you tend to just use a scraping, and therefore, in my opinion, not enough.

Our butter lives on the kitchen worktop in our South facing kitchen in a Lakeland metal butter dish. Always been fine. I'm guessing a block of butter lasts around a week as DH & DS make sandwiches most days and we eat bread for lunch at the weekends. Never had butter go off.

I have a cool, north-facing kitchen and mine stays out of the fridge, in a lidded butter dish.

I keep butter in a butter dish with a lid on. On top of the worktop by the toaster. It goes too hard in the fridge.

A packet of butter will only last about 10 days in my house with.spreading it on toast, putting it in mashed potatoes and cooking my omelette in it, plus for cooking. It has never gone off so it must keep longer than 10 days.

I slice a chunk off for the butter dish and then keep the spare in the fridge until needed

I assume you don't spread the butter and just have lumps dotted on your bread? Nothing wrong with that if you like thick chunks of butter, but I find that it just tears the bread you try to spread cold butter.

You can always add more butter if there isn't enough but you can't undo a torn slice of bread.

Butter in a covered butter dish in the cupboard at all times! Perfect.

Nothing wrong with that if you like thick chunks of butter

Yes, that's what I prefer. I generally use harder types of bread (or toast), which can better withstand it.

No chemicals here

I keep mine in a butter dish on the side, always have.

Open a new butter stored in the fridge straight into a clip lock container to which is left out on the worktop to use. In extreme hot weather it goes in the fridge, no tainting from strawberries! Dishwasher safe one clean, one dirty

I do the same.

We have a butter bell - best buy ever.

We use a ramekin as a butter dish and just portion out a small amount, like a quarter or third of the block, so it gets used within days. For a lid we just use a wider bowled ramekin on top (no cats, but flies etc!).

The spare and the butter I keep for cooking is kept in the fridge. The butter I am using for spreading is in a butter dish, out of the sun. As it gets warmer, I will probably start to cut the blocks in half and take half out to go in the butter dish at a time. Butter has never gone off.

I'm in the 'slices of cold butter' camp. It does mean shredded bread occasionally, but the secret there is to have a slice of butter on each shred of bread 😋 I am also weird in that I let my toast go cold before applying the butter slabs. You have to be able to see tooth marks in the butter.

We've always left ours out, even in the summer. We do get through it quickly and it's never gone off.

@Jewelanemone you are my butter soulmate.
