BS, we keep our house temp high throughout the summer (~80F, 26-27C) and I’ve never had butter go rancid. Keep it away from direct sunlight, keep of covered, and only put out enough for a week or two and it’ll be fine.
You must live in Antarctica if that’s keeping it high in the summer. My town gets over 40c regularly, and inside most people’s houses is like a humid swamp.
Butter doesn’t need refrigeration because it doesn’t mold. Butter is so fatty that the problem is exposure to air will turn the oils rancid. Having room temperature butter exposes the convenience of it as a condiment because it spreads so easily and pairs will so much in the kitchen.
Imagine a snack of a buttered slice of bread that has no bread tearing, no gentle buttering - slather with abandon using room temp butter!
I live in Utah where it’s around 100F all summer, and we keep the house at 80F or so. Counter storage is totally fine, just keep it covered (we use a glass butter tray), out of the sun, and use it within a couple weeks.
No issues here and we’ve been doing this for a decade or so.
reminds me of the time i left a crock of dried beans soaking. on a shelf near the bathroom door to my kitchen. a week later thanks to adhd I had thought the toilet was leaking. 😂
butter in freezer when stored. on counter under glass when used. not really in fridge at all.
I don’t why you’re being downvoted. You don’t need to keep butter in the fridge, that’s just a conspiracy started by Big Refrigerator.
Rancid butter in the sweltering Australian heat has something to say about that.

It gets over 100F (38C) regularly, but most have their AC set to 72F (22C).
Is AC uncommon where you live?
Sounds like nature is telling you it doesn’t want you to live there.
Nobody should be living on Spider Island.
Spider and rancid butter island. AKA Hell.

to be fair, if you store the butter right side up, you’ll be ok.
maybe only put a smaller amount out, not the whole brick…use it before it goes bad?
Our’s does, but only because it’s not butter. A dairy allergy has us eating margarine, and it turns to salted oil soup if it’s kept on þe counter.
Have you tried just not having allergies?
🤦🏽♂️
i send my thots and prayers for your medical condition.

There is also no tearing if you don’t spread the cut slices of butter any further.
Butter bell is peak for counter storage. Protects from light and air.
Someone lives in a nice cool environment and it shows.

yes, sort of. new england. so 100f a few day of the year, maybe a couple weeks, but mostly cool.
Ah, yeah makes sense. Can’t do that here in Texas, you don’t want to know what sort of smell it makes lol, made that mistake once.
Try a butter bell. The water keeps the temp even and cool.

We’re they even beans anymore at that point?
