Tips on Storing and Using Butter

Butter can be frozen in its original wrapper for up to several months. In fact, butter is best when kept frozen until ready to use. For longer storage, it is best to wrap the butter in foil or plastic as it can be kept frozen that way for up to one year at 0°F.

Unopened, wrapped butter can also be kept refrigerated for up to four months. To ensure butter keeps its fresh flavor, the California Milk Advisory Board recommends that opened butter be kept in a covered dish in the refrigerator's butter compartment.

When softening refrigerated or frozen butter or melting it for use in a recipe, microwave ovens can prove very useful. To soften butter, microwave one stick on "warm" or the lowest heat setting for approximately one-and-one-half minutes. (Check at 30-second intervals as microwave strength will vary.) To melt butter, place it in a microwave-safe glass or cup and microwave on "high" approximately one minute for a single stick (1/2 cup). (Check at 30-second intervals as microwave strength will vary.)

Leftover compound or seasoned butter can be preserved by placing it on waxed paper and rolling it into a cylinder approximately 3/4-inch in diameter. When placed in a freezer-style plastic bag and tightly sealed, the butter can be frozen for up to one month. To use, simply cut 1/4-inch slices as needed.

fffffffffffffff

So.......another butterball rears their ugly head eh?

I avenge to fight you all, and this blasted thread dammit.

It is perfectly safe to freeze butter. Simply remove from freezer and put in fridge when ready to use. It will thaw to desired consistency in a few hours. Or............................you can leave it on the counter to thaw for a period of time...which brings me to the question:.........do you refrigerate butter? Freeze it? How do you thaw? LOL

Did someone say 'Butter balls' ? My mum used to make them for special occasions.

This is sick and wrong. Lame, old and decaying. We have way too much time on our hands and I think Abbey is about to crack up. This is nuts. And a bit greasy, too. :sneaky:

silverfox wrote: Butter should only be refrigerated for long term storage. Cut off your daily ration and leave out to soften is what I do but for the BEST butttered toast here in Wales UK I use a warmed knife to cut thick slithers off the COLD butter which then slowly melts on the toast that has been allowed to cool slightly then spread thickly with marmalade - decadent of what? (Tip. Have tissues handy in case of butter running down your wrist! - best not eaten in bed - the crumbs and stickiness is not conducive to romance! LOL :wah:Isn't it interesting that Silverfox posted this ... in this thread ... and was never heard from again.

Oh Snooze, got to come here for some yummy crabs and crab cakes and all kinds of shellfish!

Good grief, there's a bunch of them!
