Butter (1 Viewer)

[Wellington]

One of the problems I have never solved is how to keep butter in the motorhome. Left out, it melts and runs away. In the fridge, it’s too hard for an impromptu sandwich. I compromise with taking it in and out as would seem to be required, but it’s almost never in the right state for use, whatever I do.

What do other people do?

 

[Figaro]

Use Clover spread.
I do prefer butter but for the reasons you outline find Clover more convenient

 

[138go]

Buy Lurpak spreadable butter.

Buy Lurpak spreadable butter.

Not butter though is it?
I agree though it's an acceptable substitute.

I use Lurpak as it seems to have less added water than the rest of the pack. However most French butter in spreadable tubs gets a bit hard in the fridge and I haven’t found a good alternative so I usually start a trip with a couple of tubs. I never leave it out of the fridge as usually on the move.

Lurpak spreadable is butter but blended with some rapeseed oil to make it softer for spreading.

You can still buy butter in tins, which is what my family used on its first Continental camping holiday in the 60s.

Use it cold then you can put big chunks of it on your toast.

If you find a solution could you pass it on to the restaurants I go to.
If a dish includes butter, soup and roll etc, the little block of foil wrapped butter is always direct from the FREEZER.
I usually put it UNDER the soup bowl for a minute or two.

I take it in and out but also have a pot of olive spread in case i forget and it's going on soft bread. Also old fashioned bendy butter knife for wafer thin spreading

Little blocks of frozen butter in cafes are a pet hate of mine!

If you're having hot meal stick it under your plate for a couple of minutes or even under your tea cup.

 

[BobtheBass]

Warm your butter knife up under the tap before you take few curls off the block. The curls then soften quickly being thinner.

Use a potato peeler on the hard stuff, I use one for slivers of parmesan too !

Butter knife, that's posh.

 

[Janine]

Put a chunk of butter on a plate, fill a tumbler with very hot water, empty it out and invert it over the butter. The residual heat softens the butter

I can’t wait that long! I slice it off the end if desperate.

But you'll look a right pillock in a restaurant doing that.

Lurpak spreadable is the best compromise we've found, with proper lurpak in the fridge to be distributed gradually in small rations

Lol. The things we worry about

 

[M-J]

First world problem

 

[Kannon Fodda]

Try finding kerrygold softer butter. Dunno what processing it goes through, but it does seem to be a bit more useable from the fridge, than the standard butter slab and I can't see that they add oils and such like to it.

Anything other than real butter is anathema. Anything spreadable is not butter and therefore some sort of marg. Butter is what it is, take it in and out of the fridge as needed to keep it useable.

 

[Hymer 1961]

Try placing a knob under each armpit while waiting for the toast. Softens up a treat but can taste like the pits. Hope that clarifies.

 

[Boringfrog]

Never use my fridge, butter will keep for weeks and won't run away.
