31 Butter Tip.2013.05.11

Lori and I keep butter in a refrigerator.  Cold butter does not spread well.  

Here are a couple of ways to soften butter for spreading without using a microwave.

1. a) Put the plate with the patties that you want to soften on a saucepan when cooking something else

1b) Use the heat until the butter is soft enough

or

2.a) Put the plate with the patties that you want to soften on a platform outside in direct sunlight

2b) Cover the plate with the patties

2c) After ten minutes, the butter is usually soft enough to spread; repeat steps 2a) & 2b) as needed
