Thank you for this great tip on how to soften butter. We have started using butter because margarine is not at all a healthy food choice but the fact that butter is so hard has been a challenge. My husband microwaves it and it turns into a sloppy mess.

Hey – pretty nifty! Thanks for this tip, Old Silly! 🙂
It is pretty cool, eh Barb? And you are most welcome. 🙂
