My in laws will leave butter out at room temperature all day long, sometimes overnight. I am always paranoid about using it or giving it to my kids. Of course Google says you should always keep it refrigerated, but nobody has ever gotten sick from my in laws' room temperature butter.....their creamy, soft, never rips your toast to shreds room temperature butter.

Does anyone else leave their butter out too?

it was originally made to be left out... butter is older than refrigerators

it's just that people buy too much of it so they don't eat it all before it goes bad, hence refrigeration

buy a stick of it and keep half of it out and it'll be good and soft when you need it

I've been leaving my butter out all my life, and I have never gotten sick from it. Once in a great while (like twice in my whole life) it has gotten black spots on it, and then I throw it out. I can't stand to butter my bread or toast with hard, cold butter from the fridge.

I always leave it out (the stick we are working on, obviously, not the whole pound). I've never had it go bad and never has anyone gotten sick. 45+ years now.

Remember that one reason butter was traditionally desirable is that it lasts much longer than fresh cream, and salted butter lasts even longer than that.

Yup, we leave out the current stick, and have never gotten sick from it.
