Butter is one of the most delicious, life-fulfilling substances in the world.
It's the magical ingredient at the heart of all our favorite foods — including croissants, pancakes, steaks, pasta, and cheeseburgers.
One of the biggest frustrations in the world is taking butter out of your fridge, only to be forced to wait for the rock-hard block to warm up to a spreadable temperature.

So, either invest in a good butter keeper, or learn to make do with cold butter.
