How to Soften Butter Quickly

• 份量: 1 serving
• 活動時間: 2 minutes

食材

2 cups water

butter (sliced into pieces)*

步驟

Pour 2 cups of water into a microwave-safe cup or bowl. I always use a liquid measuring cup.

Microwave it for 2 minutes until very hot. Meanwhile, place pieces of butter into a heatproof bowl or on a plate.

Very carefully remove water from microwave. Place butter in the microwave. Immediately close the microwave door to trap hot air inside.

The radiant heat will soften the butter in about 10 minutes.

筆記

The more butter your recipe calls for, the larger the bowl or plate (holding the butter) should be. Spread the pieces of butter out so they can warm up quickly and evenly. Thinner pieces will soften faster.
