When you're used to butter, margarine is just a poor, tasteless imitation. It doesn't compare, flavorwise, even in the slightest. BUT the one quality that margarine has in its favor is the spreadability. You can take it right from the fridge and slather up your morning bran muffin with it. Butter takes a while to come to room temperature, and if you're like me and live somewhere that is unbearably cold for half of the year, even "room temperature" can leave the butter too hard. Microwaving butter may soften most of it, but part will get melted, and we all know that melted butter doesn't harden in the same way anymore as it separates. Don't fret! If you have hard butter, the solution is only minutes away, and because Diply is bringing you the hack, you know that it's easy enough for anyone to do!
What you'll need:
- stubbornly hard butter
- cup
- hot water
- plate
The method:
This really is as easy as it's going to get. Place your hard butter on a plate. Take your cup and fill it with hot water. Wait a minute. Empty the glass. (Drink it, put it in your watering can to water your plants with later on, put it in a spray bottle to use in combination with other things for cleaning purposes later on...you get the point). Place the glass upside down over the butter. Keep your cup there for 1-2 minutes. When you remove the glass you'll have soft, spreadable butter, waiting to be slathered on bread, muffins, or whatever you want to use it for.
