HOW TO SOFTEN BUTTER QUICKLY

3 EASY WAYS!

To soften butter with a glass, fill a microwave safe cup with water and microwave it for 5 minutes. Spill out the water when it’s done. Stand the butter up and place the glass over the butter for 5-10 minutes

1

Place one unwrapped stick of butter on a microwave safe plate and microwave for 5 seconds. Take the butter and physically rotate the stick so it sits on another side. Microwave for 5 more seconds. Repeat with another side. No more than 4 times.

Next, fill a microwave safe glass full of water about 1 1/2 – 2 cups full. Microwave for 5 minutes. Then quickly remove the water from the microwave and place the plate of butter inside for 10 minutes. The residual heat from the microwave is strong enough to soften butter even when it’s off.
