Where is soft squeezable butter in a plastic container?

I like butter on corn, bread, mashed potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, and many other things. Likewise, too many recipes call for melted butter. It would be so handy to just squeeze out the butter from a plastic container right into the frying pan or right on the food.

How come nobody has developed this product? They have it for margarine but not for butter? How difficult could it be to do this? They already have whipped butter, soft butter, unsalted butter, but no butter in a squeeze plastic container!

Does anyone else believe that this would be a handy food product? Are there no dairy scientists that could invent some preservative or emulsifier to be added to the butter to make it soft, creamy, and dispensable from a plastic container for ease of use?

Real butter doesn't work that way. You can whip it to order, but if you want to buy it like that, it has to be fake stuff.

You want soft butter? Get a tupperware container and put a stick of butter in there. Leave it in a drawer or cabinet. Butter lasts a surprisingly long time not refrigerated.

If you want a more proper solution, get a butter bell (sometimes called a butter crock). See pic:

I leave my in-use butter out in a regular stoneware butter dish. I've had it out for a couple weeks in the summer with no issues.

i don't see why 'real' butter can't be thinner. i buy the the kind that comes in a little tub with a bit of oil (olive oil? can't remember) and it seems like that is almost thin enough to 'squeeze'.

"heat" will do that

melt butter
pour butter into bottle
tada, squeezable butter.

Is a butter bell really that much better than my tupperware container solution?

I've heard of the spreadable butter. Apparently they alter it so much, it's not legally butter anymore. Can't you just put it in the microwave like a normal person?

probably not significantly. im from the south, so im used to people having those useless god damn butter dishes like this

AAAAAvqebRkAAAAAAB4ypA.jpg


easy to get into with one hand since there is no seal, but if the butter is too warm it can get messy easily. i hate them.

tupperware would work, but id get tired of dicking around with the lid/seal.

the butter bells are nice:
--they create a seal
--have an easy way to get to a stick of butter (one handed ftw)
--you have to go out of your way to make a mess of it.
--water helps regulate the temperature of the butter
-- -- if its stored in a rather warm area that is only so helpful.
-- -- its great in cooler areas

thats 8 bucks and has prime shipping.

worst case: your kitchen or wherever is too warm and the butter falls into the water.

solution: dont use water and turn it upside-down
