True story. Im 30 and had no idea what a butter dish was until I was at the store with my gf and she was complaining that I needed a butter dish. I was like, "why would I put the butter in a dish there's a space for it in the fridge?" then she explained what it was and I flipped out because I'm always whining about not being able to spread butter. Found one for a few bucks. Now I have nice spreadable butter.

The more you know.

Food spoils a little more quickly when you can afford to heat your home.

>>8972525
What is a thermal curtain?
t. Hawaiian

>>8972538
just a heavy curtain for insulation, usually they go on windows but i didn't have a door between my kitchen and the rest of the apartment. trying to cool the kitchen would have been a waste of money, so the thermal curtain prevented the warm air from getting in and the cold air from leaving my main living area.

>only americans put their eggs in the fridge because they are required to wash the eggs before selling, which ruins the shell by making it permeable.

>every other country on earth can keep their eggs on the counter, because they are sealed with a protective layer of bird shit


this is not a joke

>>8972570
Also, and this is a point /ck/ frequently overlooks: refrigeration extends the egg's shelf life regardless of its factory preparation

>>8972570

So what? I keep 12-18 eggs in my fridge at all times and never once have I run out of fridge space.

>>8972570

it is a joke. there is actually no reason you can't store eggs at room temperature in america. i do it all the time.

storing eggs in the fridge does increase their shelf-life.

>>8972555
Thank you for the explanation. I have learned something today.

>>8972511
My dumb mother insists on keeping butter in the fridge because "we don't use enough to keep it in the cupboard"
Yeah well if you could spread the shit without ripping your toast I bet we would use more.

>>8972621
If butter is this big a deal for you lardos, either put it on something hot or soften it in a microwave or something.

Damn, solve your own butter-problems, Paula Deen

>>8972490
Agreed. Butter does not belong in the fridge.

I have experimented with how long butter can be left out. So far, it is on the time period of months for me. No critters or insects will touch it either (possibly due to lack of sugar and its low water content). Butter can go rancid apparently, but I haven't noticed any.

I always leave the butter out (but covered) for weeks/months at a time.

>>8972634
Butter only goes rancid if you leave your bread crumbs in it

>>8972632
Restaurants use way more butter than Paula Deen.

>>8972503
Can you even buy one stick of butter at a time? I don't think I've ever seen less than 4 packaged together.

>salted butter

Unsalted butter will go bad in a week. Salted is fine to leave out. When room temperature rises above 70°, all butter should be refrigerated.

>>8973523
Why not just make your own?

also the humidity, i'm guessing, gets mold on my butter within a week

but it is though
no matter how many friends you try to make online with stories like these, its still not true

>>8974370
just keep it in the wrapping or put a top over it lmao

that being said, I keep it in the fridge usually

>>8972632
>implying Paula Deen doesn't know how to use butter
really?

>>8974364
because it's not the same

or do you mean churning it from cream? because that i'd like to try

>>8974384
>just keep it in the wrapping or put a top over it lmao
lol putting a top on it does nothing for the mold, it really doesn't help
the humidity still causes it to mold unless I use a water seal from the butter bell

Most of us dont live in a 3ed world shit hole.
How do you even have the internet?

>>8974393
It's the lack of salt that causes it to mold so quickly. Butter is about 80% fat anyway, and dairy being pasteurized helps it keep longer. Keeping it in a French butter keeper helps with the rancidity factor greatly by keeping air off it.

>>8974397

>>8974420
Forget the post. Read up on nutrition science, or dairy bacteriology-biochemistry, perhaps.

>>8973555
Got the unedited?

>>8974424
if your butter is spoiling within days of being out of the refrigerator, you are the problem

>>8974437
Oh so now you are a Ph.D in dairy bacteriology-biochemistry? Amazing.

>>8974442
i don't need a phd to know that anon is a filthy faggot

>>8974442
Bit presumptuous. It's probably more to do with stuff that doesn't spoil easily, spilling easily in your house dumb ass.

>>8974447
>>8974452
Ahh so you don't even have a clue what you are talking about, then? Glad to clear that up, then. Opinion discarded.

>>8974466
No worries pal.
I'll just sit in my nice clean house with my butter not rotting away AND no insects fucking with my shit.

It's the lack of salt that spoils butter so quick. Read up on it.

that's a very old meme

Listen sweetie, I know it's hard to admit that you are ignorant, but this is the internet, and you don't have to endlessly massage your fragile ego when someone points out your misconceptions about facts.

Google John Bruhn, a dairy-foods specialist at the University of California at Davis. It's very easy, and I would like to point out that you have not provided any proof either. You must live in pic related.

>>8972499
>>8974320

What's the point of butter if it isn't extra salted? Do you really need to cram a bunch of calories into your mouth without any taste sensation?

>>8974638
are you a germophobe or legitimately retarded?
either way, you know your refrigerator isn't sterile either, right?

>>8974641
You don't buy salted butter because it's your job to remember to take the extra step of manually placing salt in the dish, duh. In all actuality, it's just to keep baked goods and such from being overly salted. If you use salted butter, just cut down on the salt, if the recipe calls for it.

>>8974650
I'm certainly not the one that believes xe can leave out butter for infinite periods because my house is mold and fungus free, no.

So how long, precisely, can one expect unsalted butter to last, un-refrigerated? Because a PhD is telling me a week, while some faglord on the internet is telling me it's totally cool to leave it out for... well you haven't told me anything concrete, yet.

>>8974412

Google something outside your 5 mi comfort zone and educate yourself

>>8974679
i don't know, i've never tried because i don't need to read a phd paper to understand that dairy with no preservatives shouldn't be left on the counter to rot

BUT you can clarify your unsalted butter and it will remain shelf stable for months

>>8972621
I just use a special knife with holes on it that cuts the cold butter into tiny ribbons.

It spreads just fine then.

>>8974898
I totally agree with you that butter should not be left out for indefinite periods of time. Maybe you have me confused with that dude that lives in a clean room. I really didn't know precisely either, until I looked it up, and educated people wrote how, and why, butter spoils for me. It's not super surprising ghee lasts for so long, it's essentially pure fat, or oil, at that point.

I really need to do something, its ridiculous here.
I live in an apt and I think the whole building is infested now.
They are coming out of the shower, that's their water source, as pest control said.
Sad thing is, its actually a nice apt building, only 5 years old.
