3 Ways to Bring Butter to Room Temperature
When baking, butter of room temperature (65°F-70°F) is usually required. In this range, its evenly softened cubes will be slightly cool to the touch. It’s also important that butter retains its shape, even when pressed lightly with a finger.
5-Minute Crafts would like to tell you about 3 simple ways of bringing butter to room temperature. These methods won’t require the use of a microwave or water bath because they may cause you to miss the moment when the ideal temperature is reached.
Method 1: Cover it with a warm glass.
You’ll need:
- A glass or cup
- Hot water
- A plate
- Butter
What to do:
- Cut off a piece of butter that is smaller than the diameter of the cup. Put it on the plate.
- Pour hot water into the cup and wait a bit for it to get warm.
- Pour out the water and cover the piece of butter with the cup.
Method 2: Grate it.
You’ll need:
- A grater
- A plate
- Butter
What to do:
- Grate the necessary amount of butter using the grater.
- Put the grated butter on the plate and wait a bit until it’s soft enough.
Method 3: Cut it into cubes.
You’ll need:
- A cutting board
- A knife
- Butter
What to do:
- Cut the butter into bigger pieces.
- Then cut these pieces into cubes. Spread them out on the board — the butter will become soft much faster this way.
💡 You can put butter in the sunlight to make it melt faster.
