Maybe the modern refrigerators are more efficient and colder? So it takes longer to melt? Even on hot items??


I've left my butter out for a day or so, so I don't think it's a matter of not coming up to temp.



I’ve noticed the same thing

Well, over the last few months I've bought a few kinds of "premium" butter . . . Kerrygold and similar.

I've gotta admit, they HAVE been better than the cheap stuff that I was buying before. They seem to be softer, and to have more flavor.

So for now, I'm gonna keep plunking down the coin for the high-end stuff.

I really love this thread for the wisdom. I’ve been a victim of routine for a long time. “Mom made it this way” or “no I always order it this way.”

The older I get the more I appreciate the knowledge and experience of others. One of my long time friends is a restauranteur and told me some years ago “always ask your waitress what’s good.” He was right. Most notably recently we were on vacation on the coast and visited a local restaurant for a nice dinner. I’d had a hankering for lobster for a while so I asked the waitress about the lobster.

Her response “all the seafood here is frozen crap. Get the lamb stew. It’s locally sourced and the veggies come from our chef’s garden.” It was amazing!!!

I’m getting long winded here but to summarize I’m starting to realize how valuable the collective knowledge of our experiences can be. Even on something as seemingly simple as butter.

TLDR. I’m getting old. You guys know some good shit. I appreciate you. Carry on.

I was a margarine guy forever for this very reason --- Country Crock was ALWAYS spreadable right out of the fridge. I too had fallen for the 'butter is bad' narrative that was prevalent throughout the 80s and 90s (along with eggs) and just got used to using CC in place of butter --- it never really bothered me at all. With in the last year or so, I've been moving back towards butter.... and have been annoyed that its hard as a rock out of the fridge. I've taken to keeping a stick in a small tupperware container on top of the microwave to keep it soft --- got a cat that likes to lick butter, so a lid IS needed. Its amazing how soft it is at room temp -- kinda scary at times because when you go to butter toast/garlic bread/ect.. it just soaks into the bread and it seems like I'm using WAAAAY more than I should.... I'm starting to get past that now.

What I did find interesting is when I used butter to make Kraft mac'n cheese ---- it turned out HORRIBLE!!! It was ok when I first made it, but was really greasy and oily on the reheats..... I had NEVER had that problem when using CC.

I have noticed that in the last couple of weeks the butter stick that I keep out to be 'spreadably soft' has gotten much more difficult to spread..... guess thats what happens when the inside temp drops from 72/73 to 67/68....
Kinda sucks....
