    Also, there is the old school way of storing your butter in a Butter Bell. Look it up, it is more natural and it always holds soft butter. It is probably more sanitary than the way people store butter currently. Why it isn't more common knowledge, I'm not sure?

    Microwaves generally split full power level (on or off) over 60 sec (plus start-up delay). So a microwave set at power level 30% is no different than 100% if set for 15 seconds.

    Please don't microwave your butter, it's very easy to destroy the proteins in it and make your yellow butt take on a burnt taste, and that's not good. Grate it for best results.

    Place your butter straight from the fridge on a micowaveable plate, nuke on full power for 10 seconds. Turn the block over and repeat. Lower power mike maybe 15 secs twice, higher power maybe 8.

    I use two small Pyrex storage cups: I put the butter in one cup, water in the other; put both in the microwave for 45 seconds at 30% power. Check softness. Repeat 45-seconds-at-30% if not soft enough, until it is soft enough. The cup of water keeps the butter from heating up too quickly.

    How I soften butter is that I heat up the largest knife in my house till it’s glowing hot then I hold it over the butter, just 2-3 inches above it and I watch the butter, before it melts I take the hot blade away and dunk it into some water or preferably oil, to cool it down then I go back to the butter to use it, it’s way more effective than you think

    If you put water into the microwave be sure to place something like a pair of chopsticks or any nonmetal object into the water. Microwaves can actually bring water to well above boiling temps without actually causing it to boil. This means when you grab it the movement can cause it to spontaneously boil and pretty much explode 110+ degree water everywhere. This will burn you. The object in the water will act as nucleation points which will allow the water to boil properly.
