I keep a stick of butter in a glass butter dish in my fridge... extras
in the freezer. It's rare I use butter for spreading, mostly I use it
for cooking so I don't need to keep it spreadable. A stick of butter
can easily last me a month. If I know I'll be spreading butter I take
the butter dish from the fridge maybe a half hour prior, by then it's
spreadable. I also occasionally drizzle melted butter on my air
popped popcorn, melts quickly in the microwave. And I don't need
spreadable butter for baked potatoes or nuked veggies.
