Guest guest Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 My mother used to leave butter out all the time in a butter dish? Is this ok if you use it up pretty quickly? I thought butter didn't go rancid quickly. I figured the butter would get rancid at room temp, so I put them in the fridge. Carmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 I leave butter out and it seems fine to me. When I'm not using the AC in the summer I only leave a quarter cup or so out at a time...in cooler weather I can leave more out. jill -----Original Message----- From: [mailto:jc137@...] Sent: Friday, March 01, 2002 1:37 PM Subject: Butter My mother used to leave butter out all the time in a butter dish?

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 We use a butter bell to store butter at room temp. In the butter bell, butter can keep without spoiling for 30 days at room temp. I've never tested the claim as our 1/2 cup butter is usually gone in a day or two! Check out www.butterbell.com. ine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Hi there Liane, pretty scarey article there, but fortunately it is what is known as an Urban Myth. So much of what is printed is either untrue, or a combination of some truths and some ridiculous additions. I don't know why anyone would want to cause torment and fear by spreading malicious lies and mistruths, but then I guess that is one of the things the human race is pretty famous for, (or at least some of it is). If you check out Snopes.com at this link: http://www.snopes.com/food/warnings/butter.asp you will be able to read the collected evidence on this multiple status article. Some true a while ago, some never true. I check Snopes for nearly everything I get these days. You wouldn't believe the number of articles and pics that are figments of some persons' imagination. Thanks for pasting the article though. Always good to hear of anything that may be harmful, and it can be checked on Snopes.com or another good one I also use called Hoax-slayer.com Cheers, Shauna ) > > Pass The Butter ... Please..
