Instead of 20 seconds, try 14 seconds at a lower power level, say about
60 percent. If it is not soft enough, add an additional 3-5 seconds on
full power, depending on how soft it has reached after the first heating.

Hello,
I'd like suggestions about softening butter. I use soft margarine, but
my husband likes butter. Usually I use the Land O Lakes butter that is
spreadable right from the fridge, but we were given some regular butter
by friends who got it free and don't use butter. I know it can't be left
out or it will get rancid, but it's way too hard to spread right out of
the fridge. I nuked it for 20 seconds, and it softened, but some of it
melted, which wasn't what I had in mind. Other than doing it for
slightly less time, does anyone have any suggestions?
