What do you use salted butter for (pastry, bread, preservative)

[SATX56]

We always get salted butter. I'm gonna add salt to most thing anyway! Baking may be a more critical issue.

I use salted butter for everything.

I would not adjust for salted butter. I use it for everything, except at the holidays when I buy unsalted for baking.

We use salted butter at the table where we can taste the butter. It goes on toast, pancakes, waffles, rolls, baked potatoes. Usually a higher fat, European salted butter.

I use unsalted butter in the kitchen ~ baking, sauteing, adding to Kraft macaroni & cheese.

If I have unsalted on hand I will use it for baking, but even then, I usually just use salted and it's always been fine.

I can't remember the last time I bought salted butter. I also use European or European-style unsalted butters, cultured or higher butterfat.

I just checked our fridge and we have unsalted butter. I guess I got confused. I think the wife more often get unsalted in case a recipe calls for it.

I actually buy unsalted Irish or European butter and whip it myself with a touch of "salt water" (salt dissolved in a tsp of hot water) to make my own whipped salted butter for toast/cooking etc. I leave the bulk of butter unsalted for baking.

I prefer to control the salt and do it myself. I average just under a 1/2 tsp of sea salt per block of butter. I believe it's about 2 sticks of butter in the block I buy.

I use salted butter most of the time and buy unsalted once in a while for baking - especially if a recipe uses a lot of butter.

Unsalted always in my baking for anything else I use salted butter. I don't even use margarine when baking anymore to much water in it has changed baking recipes & caused not to rise.
