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?
