[Sca-cooks] freezing butter

[Stefan li Rous]

Thank you Phlip and Bear for answering my questions about freezing  
butter and margarine.

However, Phlip also commented:
<<<
We put what we aren't using in the freezer, have an open pound in the
fridge, and take sticks out to keep a bit warmer in a butter dish on the
counter.

Huh? I always thought butter needed to be kept cool, these days in  
the refrigerator, to keep it from spoiling. Or do you go through  
butter so fast it doesn't have time to spoil sitting on the counter?  
I assume your countertop is near room temperature? Of course you  
aren't living in Phoenix, referencing another recent thread. :-)
