I just microwave the butter on 1 side for 5 sec and I just rotate it every 5 secs and it works really well

If I’m baking for just my immediate family, that butter is getting popped under my yiddies. After two kids, there’s gotta be some perk to their vertical descent.

I microwave a glass of water then put the stick of butter inside the microwave when it’s done so the steam softens it

I live in TX. I put the stick outside in direct sunlight for 10mins while I prep other things and it’s soft enough by then

Cheese grater increases the surface area enough for quick softening!

So how do you compensate in the recipe for the butter that's stuck to the whisk that I'd be too frustrated to get all off? 😆

I have a powerful microwave. I microwave for 5 seconds, flip, 5 seconds, flip etc until all sides have had 5 seconds. Boom, softened butter.

If you live in Arizona put it outside (in the wrapper of course) and it will melt. Lol
