Salted butter keeps for several days at room temp, without loss of quality, but unsalted butter start to fade after 2 or 3 days. I haven’t bought margarine for at least 40 years, but it’s getting really pricey. Our regional dairy stores used to sell their cultured butter for $3/pound, on sale. Now their sale price is $3.50/pound, which is still cheaper than anywhere else.

Great idea! I don’t buy the soft stuff that’s mixed with oil, but I may just try your idea.

Yes, what you said. We only put the covered butter dish in the fridge, if we are leaving town for a few days.

I use Kerry Gold on the table when we entertain company. It’s delicious. But I believe its higher fat content is pointless in recipes or for frying.

But margarine is lower in saturated fat than butter, and it is
made from vegetable oils, so it contains no cholesterol. 🙃

What you posted about leaving butter on the table (in an antique butter dish in our case) is absolutely correct.

I like using salted butter on the table and unsalted butter (kept in the fridge) in recipes, to control the salt content.

Kerrygold is the only butter I buy. I also buy their grass-fed cheeses as well.

Kerrybold products are distressingly expensive but I don't cut corners when it comes to what I put in my body.

Canola oil is man-made garbage. You shouldn’t be eating any seed oils either. Look it up.

Everything out of China should be regarded with deep suspicion.

On the other hand there is nothing better then butter made from the cream of your own cow.

Store butter has a lot more water in it then you think. Mostly it does not matter that much unless you are making pastry. Then it really matters.

We keep a stick of butter (in a small tupperware) on the counter. In the summer, it might get a little runny, but it’s still good.

I keep several pounds in the freezer, defrost them in the fridge as needed - no problems.

Kerry Gold as a condiment. Best Choice as an ingredient.

Use real butter.

Tastes better and not as bad for you.

“Canola oil is man-made garbage.”

“Canola” = CANadian Oil Low Acid. It’s an engine lubricant made from the toxic rapeseed plant. Stay away from it and anything from soybeans.
