You can also soften butter by filling a large glass with hot steamy water to warm the glass….wait a minute to warm the glass…empty the water and invert the glass over the still wrapped butter and wait five minutes…voila the butter is softened.

I always leave my butter out. Keep out of direct sunlight to keep butter from oxidizing and getting rancid.

Such a fuss about butter Life's too short 😁

The last two microwaves we have owned have the “soften” feature for butter, cream cheese and ice cream!!

We have a covered butter dish that stays out on the counter 24/7 365 days of the year LOL. We use real butter not margarine, our Family has done this my whole life and I'm 59. Never and trouble with it going bad.

I like to keep my butter in the freezer so I just use a cheese grater or food processor. The result is room temperature butter.

Nice melt the butter tip. No, I didn't know about having the plate towards the edge instead of the middle. Thanks❣️🥰😊🥰

Love this. Covered butter dish is great till temps are under 70. That was this morning. Butter for toast now has a new technique. Thank you

Try a butter crock. It's life changing.

That's a neat idea with the lemons and the butter. I know I'll try it.

I still keep my tooth pics in a hot sauce bottle . Like they did in little country cafe's fifty years ago it's skinny and tall enough that it doesn't get lost.

You can microwave on half power for 10-20 seconds and it will be soft, not melted.

Loving the tool container for hair accessories n batteries …. Def will be picking them up🤗

Other than making a YT video, I can't imagine anyone doing this ever.

The time in the microwave also differs when you use this plate or a pie plate. You need less time with a small plate.

Thank you for sharing Andrea! 👍

Here in San Antonio lemons are running 68 cents a piece limes are only 18 so I think I've used the line great idea though

Once you learn how your microwave heats things, you will know how long and what power you need to soften a stick of butter. Or, if you plan ahead, just leave the butter out on the counter beforehand. The lemon toothpick disposal thing may be "cute", but it's wasteful and dumb. I have never seen a toothpick accidentally pierce one of today's tough garbage bags.

Another trick to do the same is to run a drinking glass under hot water, stand the stick center on its end and invert the glass over it. No chance of melted center

Brilliant Butter Hack, thank you!

Karen here. Wow! Thanks. Hysterical

Awesome trick for the butter 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Thanks Andrea 😊, good tip 👍 Joan

Thanks for the video.

Best way to soften a stick of butter without having it melt run your microwave for 45 50 seconds on high then put your butter that's on a plate or in a bowl in the microwave real fast open put it in shut it and leave it the heat will really soften it up and I've never had my melt. Just a tip neither way is wrong.

Where is the knife set from

Thank you!

I actually buy plant based butter which softens on the counter in just 5 min and tastes just like butter

Great idea girl!!!!!!

Get French butter keeper. Keeps butter upside-down in water on counter.

I never refrigerate butter

I put mine in coffee cup & melt

Do u have the link for the knife rack ? Super compact! Thanks for your helpful tips

Great hack! Thanks

Why waste a lemon!

You should be selling the Sham Wow towels.

all you have to do is heat at 10 or 20% for 10 or 20 seconds

I must have missed the link for the knife holder.

Isn’t it the same if you put the dish in the back part of the microwave as opposed to the front part? It will turn anyway

Great tips

Regular oatmeal not so good from DT. Peanut butter pretty good

Leave your real butter covered on the counter. If you must soften butter in the microwave use a mug to elevate your butter dish in the microwave and you won't have to worry about toothpicks or lemons. Or cleaning the greasy mess when your toothpicks fail you and the whole thing falls over 😂

Nice vide great idea 👍👍👍

❤hi

Someone else’s toothpick in your lemon 😮😮😮😮

Toothepicks in the lemon is genius!

Toothpicks are bad for your teeth, use FLOSS😮

I am 100% sure you are an enneagram (personality) type 1. 👌

I got a better one! That is much more healthier. With only 3 items 1-stick of butter 2-Hot water from the faucet/or boil some water. 3-cup to hold both. Give it a few minutes. You can use 1 toothpick to test if it will go all the way in or you would need a few more minutes. Or just squeeze it lightly.
