This is a fabulous tip! I’m actually just browsing through some of your older posts while I wait for my butter to soften and found this! Just what I needed 🙂 Although I think I’m going to keep browsing for a while 😉 I already found about 3 dozen recipes to try from you!

Such a great tip! I often end up over-softening my butter in the microwave, but I will have to try again. I hate waiting for butter to soften!

Great idea! Now I need to find out how to change my microwave to use less than 100% power … 🙂

This is an awesome tip I will use time & time again. I have never used the 30% setting & now I sure will!

I actually just throw it in for 8 seconds and it's perfectly soft. I don't put it on 30% power. Maybe I've been doing it wrong?? Either way…great tip!

great tip! i actually put my butter on top of the oven while it pre-heats and that usually does the job. just have to make sure i rotate the butter every few minutes:-)

good tip! i read recently that there are some new microwaves with a setting for softening things like cream cheese and butter and i bet they do it similar to this.
