Unsalted is for baking. Salted is for cooking.

Just add salt to whatever you're cooking, no point in paying extra for salt in your butter.

Unsalted is for everything, especially cooking.Try seasoning your food your own drat self.

Seriously, you should be adding a little salt at each step of your recipe/whatever rather than putting in all your salt at once. Each ingredient being salted on its own builds and develops flavor in the whole dish.

‘Co related: just went last week, taking a friend tomorrow so he can get those sweet savings and I can get that sweet cash back.

Unsalted butter is so that i can keep it out on the counter so that it spreads on my bread evenly.

Also, I have never done this ever, and don't buy bread.

I was in Costco last week and saw they had deals for gift cards from local restaurants. $100 in value for $80. They had them for a sushi place with two locations in town that we were planning to go to today. The card to take to the register only had one of the addresses on it. I called them and they said they were good at both locations.

Went there for lunch today and was told that the restaurants split back in November and the cards were not valid at the location we were at.

Fortunately because Costco is awesome I was able to return them for a full refund. The lady just had to call the restaurant and verify that they were turned down and unused.

PBUC.

I am interested in the proportions you mix them in.
I suppose it renders the butter spreadable even when fridged?

this is the basic idea behind the spreadable-butter compounds you can buy at many lesser grocery stores. butter plus a more-liquid fat (plus, frequently, a little salt) makes a nice spread straight from the fridge

Slightly more butter than olive oil for the most part. Easily spreads when used right out of the fridge. I don't add salt just because most bread already has a decent amount of sodium but thats just personal preference

It is important to avoid confusion. This is the one that's okay to lick.


They don't put salt in butter to season your food. They put salt in butter to inhibit bacterial growth. If you leave your butter at room temperature, use salted butter, because the preservative effects of salt will keep it from going bad longer.

Why would I want a corporation to decide the amount of salt (and not tell me) when cooking?

That's like using Spiced Rum instead of Gold/Anejo Rum in a cocktail that calls for rum

Jesus christ. Salted butter is just butter with salt in it. I've seen no mass difference in salt levels in the salted butter I've had. In my entire life. I'm sure it's pretty standard now. Or at least they'll list it.

Adding salted butter to your food? Well, just loving account for that lol. Don't add more salt. Salted butter is absolutely not super salty.

the oxidation process is what gets to butter first, and that's unaffected by salt. simply eat the butter quickly enough that no form of spoilage can reach it; I find this very easy

Went to Church yesterday to pick up some things for a seafood boil; Lemons, baby creamer potatoes, garlic, shrimp, snow crab, etc. Went down the sauce/dip refrigerated section and they had garlic toum for $0.97/1.5lbs. I triple checked the price before adding 3 of them to my cart and running to the checkout. The sell by date is pretty close but I can freeze it to stretch it out and at that point I’m practically LOSING money by not buying it. PBUC

Oh for gently caress's sake, we should have been like the French and called salted butter 'butter for eating' and unsalted butter 'butter for cooking'. You should always have room temperature butter FOR EATING on your counter, in a butter dish or cute little butter bell (self: butterball).

The canned iced coffee was 15.99/12 pack today, and the aluminum cans were thinner so one broke when I was putting them away. Bad job Costco. The new Goodyear auto wipes went on perfectly though, unlike the last set, so Good Job Costco.

Unless you live in a hellworld climate where "room temperature" is closer to 30°C, in which case you need to store that poo poo in the fridge

This is my major complaint about my local Costco; they used to have a couple of local restaurants but slowly gave up over covid and now the only restaurant gift cards are for Bad Daddy's Burger Bar and Honeybaked Ham.

The last local place they had cards for was walkable from my house too :qq:
