How to store butter: three useful ways
Proper storage of butter is crucial for maintaining its quality and taste, regardless of whether it is stored in the refrigerator or at room temperature. SSPDaily has looked into this issue and collected practical tips to keep butter fresh and flavorful.
Proper storage
For short-term use, butter should be stored at room temperature, but for longer storage, it is best to store it in the refrigerator. If you use a butter mold with a lid, it will be fresh and suitable for spreading for several days, and if you wrap it in parchment paper and put it in an airtight container, it is ideal for long-term storage.
Avoiding contamination
To prevent butter from absorbing odors and flavors from other foods in the refrigerator, it is important to store it in a sealed container. This not only minimizes the risk of cross-contamination but also ensures that the butter stays fresh and safe to eat.
Freezing butter
If you have excess butter or need to preserve it for a longer period, freezing is a great option. In this case, cut the butter into small pieces and wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap before placing them in a freezer bag. This method allows you to get convenient access to butter at any time while maintaining its freshness and quality.
