Is there such a thing as spreadable butter?

Answer by  lou (792)

Real butter that has been refrigerated is hard. Butter is spreadable when it is at room temperature. Do not leave out of the refrigerator on a hot day. It melts.

Yes, there is such a thing. Put your butter in a butter dish and leave it out. It'll be spreadable. You'd have to leave butter out for a really, really long time for it to get rancid. If that still scares you, get a "butter-bell". It's a danish contraption for storing butter on the counter.

Room temperature butter IS spreadable. Let cold butter stand at room temperature for about an hour. Or put it in the microwave and cook for 3 seconds. Cold butter is hard.
