I'm not so sure about the safety of using these in fires.
As for buttering casserole dishes or pans for cooking, I take a stick of butter and fold the wrapper back a little bit. Then I use the stick to butter the item. When I'm done, I re-wrap the stick and put it back in the freezer in a ziplock bag. The stick lasts a long time this way.

I knew about the greasing but not about using them for firelighters. Great idea. Thanks for sharing.

(Archived Mar 03, 2011)Save Your Butter Wrappers
I save my empty butter stick wrappers in a zip lock bag in the freezer. They usually have just enough to grease a cake pan with. After they are used, I move them to another ziplock baggie marked with a large x and refreeze to keep them critter free. They make great fire starters for the fireplace or lighting the trash.
Cheap, yep, but it works!
