Not Too Long. Butter should be taken out of the refrigerator 10 to 15 minutes before using, advises the U.S. Department of Agriculture. But it takes longer than 15 minutes to bring butter to room temperature, which many recipes call for. Many professional bakers bring butter to room temperature overnight.
Yes, you can freeze butter â in fact, unsalted butter can last up to five months; salted butter up to nine with proper storage. To keep it tasting as fresh as possible, keep it in its original wrapping. You can also wrap it in foil or plastic and put it in an air-tight container. This will make sure the butter doesnât absorb other flavors. You can freeze it in blocks, sticks or slice it into pats of butter. Keep the butter frozen until youâre ready to use it, then let it thaw in the refrigerator. Or, depending on how you plan to use it, consider grating the butter while itâs still frozen â it softens quickly and works well for baked goods.
