Do You Need To Refrigerate Butter? Here’s The Definitive Answer.

Should you refrigerate butter, or can you leave it out on the counter in a butter dish?

The simple answer is yes, most butter survives just fine without refrigeration. But any longer than a week on the countertop — or any warmer than 70 degrees Fahrenheit — could put it in a danger zone.

When you take the butter out of the fridge to use, dip the knife in hot water for a few seconds before spreading the butter and it will spread easier.x

I keep it out if fridge when in use, good tip Honey - works with the ice-cream scoop too!

We use to leave our butter out but it went to soft. Now keep it in the fridge and it spreads alright.
