I always thought it was OK to leave salted butter out. Been doing it for years never had a problem I can remember. I also don't eat tons of butter so would guess I've left it out longer than two weeks

Today's salted butter doesn't have enough salt in it to preserve itself like that.

Back in like Oregon Trail days they would pack butter in enough salt to preserve it for travel, and people got used to the taste (hence why they still make the two types) but today's butter is just not salty enough.

Interesting thanks for the info. Like I said I haven't had any issues so far, but now I think ill pay attention to how long it takes me to go through a stick of butter

I think that goes way further back, because Brittany's butter is traditionally salty. Like, cronchy salty.

Never had a problem with salted butter but mine's European, dunno how y'all do it.

I also did that for years, with 5 people in the house we went through softened butter fast.

Then as kids grew up and moved out, I realized it was taking WAY longer to go through. I gave up and leave it in the fridge now. Then again, going through it much slower means that I'm buying much nicer quality butter ๐Ÿ˜.

I've never heard that, but if it works, it works!

It will eventually go rancid. More oxygen getting to it and more heat will speed that up.
