i used to leave it on the counter but a couple times i didn't use it fast enough and it spoiled. it takes like a week for it to happen but i'd rather not waste anymore butter. i just take it out at night if i want it soft in the morning, or vice versa.

Are you a fucking eskimo? Asia has the least amount of countries that use butter but it's still used largely in India. Hell, per capita America doesn't even make the top 15! Pakistan and India sure the hell do.

I'd start doing what you do with anything you do to stop a cat from repeating behavior. Teach them it's a bad idea even if it's not because of the other.

Put a little hot pepper on all your food. It should work the same way as putting papers where they jump on counters. Once they fall off 15 times they stop.

>muh rancid butter
Who cares if it goes rancid? I purposely left butter out for a month just to see what would happen. The end result did taste different from fresh butter, but it wasn't at all unpalatable. It had turned deeper yellow and acquired kind of cheesy notes as well. I could see some people actually preferring it this way.

Nothing makes me lose respect for a person faster than being offered cold butter for my bread. It is not difficult to keep a small amount of room temperature butter ready.

The pound box of butter has 4 sticks. I leave it in the fridge and keep just one stick out on the counter in the butter dish.
The softened butter is for toast, rice, etc - things where you're adding the butter to food you're about to eat, so it helps that it's soft.
Cold fridge butter is for melting in a pan for frying, for adding to hollandaise or french eggs, caramel, etc.

Wait, butter doesn't spoil. I've literally had the same stick of butter left out for weeks, many times before, and not used it all and it still tastes fine each time. How long does it have to sit out before it gets old, like six months or what?

Depends on how fresh the butter is, how clean the room is, and the room temerature. Also, salted butter lasts a little longer. In cool, dry, cleaner rooms, fresh salted butter can last several weeks out of refrigeration.

Refrigerated, I wouldn't keep butter past 3-6 months. I know someone who hoards butter for up to a year. It's almost always slightly rancid. I don't think she can taste it. Pretty gross.

>>	Anonymous Mon Feb 25 21:31:12 2019 No.11959747 >>11959731 I wonder if old people can't taste rancid butter, or if they think there's going to be a butter shortage or something. It's like coffee. One of those things you don't want to buy more than a month's supply of.

It takes about a week for a stick of butter to start turning rancid for me if it's left out on the counter. I live in a hot climate so food spoils faster, even with air conditioning. An upside to that is it only takes about 24 hours for me to make sourdough though.

There are degrees of rancidity. I think everyone can taste it at some point. I don't know, how to describe the taste of rancid butter very well. Acrid sharpness? Unctuously bitter? Sorta halfway between the way rancid meat and sour milk taste? Probably won't kill you, but I doubt it's good for you. Eating the wrong kinds of bacteria is never good for you.

>>	Anonymous Mon Feb 25 21:49:21 2019 No.11959799 >>11959752 >>11959782 Sometimes you can tell visually, too. If a stick of butter has a slightly darker colored ring around the edges when you cut it, it might start tasting a little off. That's where the air has started to oxidize the fat.

Cold butter tastes better on a bread. Just has a tiny amount of bite to it sort of like a soft chocolate, this texture compliments the flavour of a butter really well. I hate soft butter it’s just grease, I don’t understand buttering toasts, but to be fair no one ate toasts where I grew up.

>>	Anonymous Mon Feb 25 21:55:51 2019 No.11959820 >>11959805 I eat a lot of butter. Almost 2 pounds a month. Mine never has time to get the oxidation rings. But, I'd say no. If you can't seriously taste rancid, it's fine. Food has to be really obviously rotten for it to make most people sick.

Afterthought: most people will instinctually spit out or throw up the first bite of something rancid enough to actually hurt them. Through experience, we train ourselves to find the tastes of foods with controlled bacterial fermentation not alarming. For instance, cultured butter has a nice slightly sour note to it, whereas sweet cream butter does not. Tastes very different to the shrap bitterness of rancid butter.

Like not spoiled rancid, but when the container is not totally air tight and is present 24/7, fact is that the kitchen is going to reek of old butter.

Like other anons have said, even if it turns slightly dark yellow on the surface, it is still perfectly good for a week or so in mild climate. That is however an indication that oxygen is at work and is being replenished due the non-sealing lid of typical butter tray. Even the imperfect lid works somewhat by retaining in CO2 created by the spoilage which displaces oxygen.

I do the same thing. My table butter sits in a dish with a heavy glass lid to keep it as fresh as possible. Soft butter is far better for bread and things that would other wise be cooled down by cold butter like mashed potatoes. Cold butter is kept in the fridge and is better for cooking with. It is better to have firm cold butter for measurements and will reduce the mess in the kitchen but will melt immediately when thrown in a pan.
