gwalchmai Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 What do you use to spread butter on bread? Do you use a common table knife <snicker> or a dedicated professional tool? I have a sterling tool which resides in its own butter knife caddy. Also, how do you store your butter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok....I'm gonna catch hell for this but here goes. A standard "Table" butter knife. AND...You're gonna kill me for this too...I keep it in a covered dish on the counter. Been doin that for YEARS. I can't STAND cold butter on my warm toast!!! On another note..."Cheese Knife"... I remember many moons ago when my Mom and Dad came down to visit, he had brought some Real good cheese, and he said, "Son, where is your "cheese knife?" I handed him a table steak knife and he was Mortified!!! I said, "Dad, It's a Knife. It cuts cheese." I will admit, Now days, when we have people over, I do have an actual "Cheese Board with Cheese knife". 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostinTexas Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 We use butter in my house, no plastic. A common table knife is used, I'm too cheap to buy another tool that will work just the same as what I have a drawer full of. We store it in the fridge. I take it out when I start a meal that I know will need it on the table. We don't use a lot on average. When we had the kids home, it would stay on the table from the time we got home until bed time. Summer time in Texas, the house stays ~78 degrees, so I'd rather have it refrigerated in off times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use Butter on EVERYTHING so we go thru a stick in about 2 days. Then I'll clean out the butter tray with hot water and soap and then put in a new stick. Never had a problem over many years. Mrs. Swamp keeps the house at 75 in the day...Yeah, I know. Ya don't want to know night time temp. "You cold?? Put on a sweatshirt". "Yes Ma'am". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipedreams Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Real butter works best at room temperature, we take out of the frig beforehand when going to use. Most of the time the butter knife stays in the drawer but it does come out for occasions. Wife has been making honey butter for use on homemade bread. Got to limit that good stuff for for the sake of the waistline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAKA Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Ummmm. when the butter is just out of the fridge and hard, I use a cheese cutter and kinda scrape a thin layer off the top...PIA but it works.. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwalchmai Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 We keep butter in a dish at room temp. A stick doesn't last long enough to get rancid around here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.Cicero Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 The butter is stored in the cabinet in one of those stoneware crocks that sits upside down in another crock with water in it. It doesn't melt that way even when I shut off the AC and let the house get up into the 80s. Everyone around here is annoyed if the butter is cold from the fridge. I have a little "butter knife" that is actually the knife from one of the kids first real flatware sets (have no idea what happened to the fork or spoon, but the knife survives as the butter knife). Most of the time, no one remembers to get it out and they just use whatever knife they grab from the silverware drawer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the two of us, and we don't use a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AND...Maine Blue berry Jelly on my toast! Ifin I'm gonna die...It's gonna be happy. I'm too old to "cut back" now. Don't believe in that crap. Throw in an Atkins Protein shake for each of us...and that's why we only eat 2 meals a day. Just for the record...I do walk on a treadmill...2 miles a day, and do 5 lb hand weights in 3 different sets two times during my 25 min. walk at 5 miles per hour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, we don't enjoy much for bread these days. A piece of toast on Sunday, and every few weeks a couple of biscuits. Then again, around the holidays or when I just get a wild hair, I can go through a pound in a day of cooking, if not more. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampfox762 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Breakfast has Always been my Mainstay meal, all my life. AND, my Favorite meal. Hell, back in the day...I'd have it for Dinner!!! You should read the back of a Pepperage Farm, 7 Grain Bread loaf. Ya might want to try some. I "stepped" off the reservation last week and bought a loaf of "honey wheat"... Wife ended up makin most of it into french toast after I cut the crust off. "Indulge" in one of those may be once a week till that ****'s gone. With Sugar Free syrup of course... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBO Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I can keep the butter in the fridge and pull it out when needed. One steely glare from TBO melts it in no time. Okay, reality time here. I mostly keep it on the counter w/o issue. There's about a 2 wk period some summers I move it to the fridge. I use an old time classic butter knife handed down through the family. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
