Butter Fingers

Bear in mind they're providing advice presumably for the entire USA

USADA are, and they recommend two days. That site says 2 weeks.

As soon as butter starts to look a bit more yellow I can taste it turning rancid, which only affects the surface at first. I'm quite happy to keep it in the fridge and get it out in advance, or cook with it from the fridge

If I had a proper cool dark pantry then I'd be happy keeping it in there but everyone seems to have a south-facing kitchen with massive windows and bi-fold doors these days, so I'd suggest the ambient temp in a kitchen over here isn't exactly cool

I won't bother storing it outside as it takes months for me to go through a tub, usually it ends up going off anyway so I bin it before it's finished.

I must admit I never thought about the aspect. Ours on the north-facing side of the house so rarely gets that warm. Probably averaging about 22C at the moment.

I'm beginning to think that maybe we just get through it quicker than many. We probably get through just over 1 250g block a week. And we don't really cook with it much either.

Tub? Are you using peanut butter…?

I like real butter - always have some in the fridge for cooking - but find the “spreadable butter” options more practical for sandwiches/toast/crumpets/Hedgehogs etc etc

The 400g (wasn’t it 500g just recently?) pack size is far less financially appealing than the larger packs, but the latter almost always end up binned before the product inside is exhausted as someone drops it (tiled floor)

Why oh why oh why @Gavster isn’t there a larger pack available with improved ergonomics to defeat the clumsy hands of idiots? I’m trying to save mone…. sorry, I mean The Planet here….

I'd love to clarify the situation but I'm spread a bit thin right now, I'm sure google can churn out some answers.

Clearly everyone has forgotten your Simpsons instructionals regarding the proper use of butter:
