Ho semplicemente pubblicato un post di merda per condividere il mio pranzo mattutino lottando con il burro fuori dal frigo e questo è stato dopo aver messo un coltello sul piano cottura per un po’. La fatica è vera, vabbè sorprese di burro a pranzo in pochi bocconi

Don’t store butter in the fridge.
Or put what you need in a dish for 10s in the microwave
Easy, just microwave your knife for like 20s
Jaysus that’s shocking, haven’t seen anything like that since around 1986.
It’s worth it to have propper butter and not that spreadable shite.
Tip that I was taught, if you grate the butter first it spreads much better.
Fill a mug with boiling water and dip the blade of the knife in it for a few seconds to heat it up. Dip it back in the water every few spreads.
Depends on the temperature of ur kitchen. I leave butter out this time of the year. As weather gets warmer I switch to a French butter dish, something like this

Requires a bit of maintenance but butter stays fresh
That’s what the politicians should be campaigning to fix.
Butter, luck next time.
Keep a slice of only 1/8th or 1/4 of the butter block in your butter dish, and run your knife under hot water before you go buttering soft bread.
Better again, keep slice pan in the freezer take out slices as you want them and butter before it thaws.
Use a potato peeler if you have one. Will cut nice thin strips.
A vision of Hell: having to spread cold butter on a full, fresh pan of Brennan’s Bread. 🥶
I’m glad I can’t have butter because I could not be arsed with that shite. People get very excitable of you say spreads grand but it is.
Carve a small block into a ramekin and zap it for 10 seconds 👍
Our kitchen has got to this level of cold now. I put the back of a spoon under the hot water tap or pop the butter I need in the microwave for about 5 to 8 seconds. It doesn’t melt but it softens.
The childhood flashback of other kids thinking you had cheese sandwiches everyday.
Keep your butter in your person pouch. That way it’s always warm and easily accessible, especially when you are out and about.

So sorry you’ve had to go through this.
Don’t put it in the fridge.
There are no cures for this – you must learn to live with it
Smear the butter back onto the block a few times until it’s workable, then spread. It’s malleable, and working it creates small amounts of heat, enough to soften it (like clay).
Or drag a cheap small metal sieve across the top, works better than a grater.
Butter bell
Use a vegetable peeler too shave thin slices off the butter, don’t spread it just layer it on the bread
1- Don’t store butter in the fridge,
2- if you do, microwave a piece of the butter
3- or rinse a knife with warm water (until the metal heats up a bit),
4- or use the back of a teaspoon to spread butter.
Move the butter knife back and forth across the top of the block you want to kind of mix it to soften the butter. If you use butter tabs keep the wrapper on and play with your fingers a little to soften it before you open the tab and spread it.

We grate the block of butter, it takes less time to reach room temperature then. But it’s not perfect.
Life is hard
5 seconds in the microwave
As a butter lover the most delicious but worst part about loading the butter on is that calorie count. I’d say in the two spreads you have in excess of 300 calories of butter on there. I’ve been trying to spread less but man I love my butter!
I cut a 250g block in half, put it in dish then into microwave for 10 seconds full power, perfect for me. Experiment with your own microwave re times!
Grate the butter 😉
