GIVEAWAY DAY!

You guys, it is high time for a giveaway, so I decided how about today!

The question I am going to ask is going to coincide with the item I am giving away.

A couple of months ago, it was brought to my attention that some people keep their butter out on the countertop, rather than in the fridge.  This makes great sense because the butter would be spreadable and easier to manage, but I never even knew it was an option.  I thought it HAD to be refrigerated.  Silly me.  Then I asked my Facebook friends and most everyone on there said they kept theirs out at room temp at all times!  Well, blow me down!

So.

I want to give you one of my favorite items from my all time favorite kitchen item brand - Le Creuset.  I cook with Le Crueset pans and stockpots and they are BY FAR the best.  They are absolutely fabulous.  I have also collected some of their smaller pieces, such as pitchers, salt and pepper shakers, and of course, the butter dish.

Today, I want to give one lucky commenter a butter dish of your color choice!  You will absolutely LOVE this beaut.

All you have to do is answer my question!

DO YOU KEEP YOUR BUTTER IN THE FRIDGE OR ON THE COUNTERTOP?

If you want to increase your chances of winning, simply Blog, Tweet, or Facebook about this giveaway and then enter yourself again for as many times as you tout it!

Look at all the pretty colors!

OOOOHHH LA LA!

I collect the cookware in all sorts of colors, but my butter dish is red and it's beautiful.  I love it!

This dish comes from Williams Sonoma, and is ready to find a new home in your kitchen! :)

Good luck, loves.  Winner announced Monday!

    I keep mine in the fridge! My grandparents kept theirs out and I always assumed you would get sick or something :) I guess I am paranoid. I love the red dish!

    I went to Culinary School and learned early on that butter didn't have to be in the frig.. so yes, I store my butter a couple of sticks outside the frig and then I also keep a bunch of it frozen until I need it

    Both! I love to keep some in the fridge for when I need it (making crumb toppings, etc.), but I also like it to be soft for making cookies on a whim or to use for corn on the cob!

    I did NOT know butter stays ok in room temperature! In fact, it's hard for me to believe it even now :D Do we have different kind of butter in Europe..? I've heard you can keep it in cold water, but.. I always keep our butter in the fridge. But because it's too hard to spread on bread, we spread something called "Oivariini" on our bread - it's a mixture of butter and canola oil and that makes it softer even if it's cold :)

    I leave mine in the fridge. I heard once that unsalted butter needs to be refrigerated and salted is ok to stay on the counter. I'm not sure how true that is, but since I use unsalted, it goes in the fridge!

  27. AmeliaAugust 9, 2012 at 7:20 AM

    Both! On the counter for when it needs to be spread onto something, and in the fridge for all other uses :-) Would you believe I've been on the hunt for a butter dish for YEARS??? The one we have doesn't have a handle on top and if the outside gets a speck of butter on it, it is impossible to just lift the lid off; I have to use the knife to lift it up a bit to get a good hold on the cover. Growing up my parents had (and still have actually) a stainless steel one with a handle. I've not had any luck finding a handled one at any of the stores around here. I may have to just order one of these...if I don't win one :-)

  30. Katy ShawAugust 9, 2012 at 7:37 AM

    On a day to day basis I keep it in the fridge...but leave it on the container on days there's a whole lot of spreading going on. I guess I always figured that since butter is in the refrigerator section of at the grocery store it should be kept there at home too.

    Fridge...on the counter sounds a little icky even though it would be more practical for spreading.

  32. ErinAugust 9, 2012 at 7:46 AM

    BOTH! One stick on the countertop - soft & spreadable...another in the fridge for those few recipes that require it be solid (like when making a crumble/crisp topping).

  51. Jennifer @ MillerMusingsAugust 9, 2012 at 9:01 AM

    We have a LeCreuset butter crock, that we keep our butter in and out on the counter.

    This is the Williams Sonoma link to the one we have:

    http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/6155253/?catalogId=84&bnrid=3120901&cm_ven=Google_PLA&cm_cat=Tabletop_Bar&cm_pla=Serveware&cm_ite=Le_Creuset_Stoneware_Butter_Crock_Marseille_Blue&adtype=pla&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=6155253

    You put cold water in it and it keeps the butter fresher than just leaving it out on the counter but more spreadable than in the fridge, best of both worlds! :) I LOVE all those pretty colored butter dishes though!

    The more I think about it, I guess keeping it out on the counter to get soft would be best. But, we never use it to spread on anything, only to cook with, so ours is always in the fridge. And if a recipe calls for softened butter, I microwave that junk. Mmmmmm buttah!

    I keep ours out of the fridge, in a little dish in the pantry. So much easier to spread that way. My Mom always did that, so it was natural for me to do it.

    Fridge generally, but sometimes I gets left out. That's okay in the winter but with our hot Texas summers it's a pool of butter if I leave it out too long.

    Growing up, we always kept the butter on the counter. Always. Even in the heat, when it would melt. I don't now, but that is mostly because I don't use butter very often (sigh... freshly buttered bread is one of the best things in life, but not good for my figure) and refrigerated butter lasts longer.

    Thanks for the fun!

    My mom keeps hers in on the counter, and we keep ours in the fridge.

    If we need spreadable butter we use country crock.. when we bake I use real butter.

    I keep mine in the fridge. While my grandparents have survived 90 years with butter on the countertop, I have also heard the fridge is safer. I don't know if that's true, but I go w/ the fridge just in case it is true.
    I too love the red one!

    Lately, we've been going through butter more quickly (growing family + stopped using margarine) so I've been leaving it on the counter. Since it only sits out for a few days or a week max, I don't worry about keeping it cold like I used to do!
