Hard (Cold or Frozen) Butter Tip

If butter is too hard to spread, shave some with a veggie peeler.

By Suebowman

Editor's Note: I usually just toss the butter in the microwave for 5 to 10 seconds but I like this idea as well.

Butter can be left out of the fridge for days without going bad, if you are going to use it regularly. It will retain it's shape and spread wonderfully. However, margarine will separate into a watery nasty mess.

I use a butter bell. Some are from France. They keep butter soft without going rancid.

You can Google them or find them on eBay. QVC has one that looks like a tiny oval casserole.
