Butter - Refrigerate or not??

From my other post, Butter is winning the consensus handily.
So do you keep your butter in the fridge?
I have always kept my margarine in the fridge and it was spreadable, but the butter is not. I do remember my grandmother having stick butter in a little glass container with a glass cover that sat on the kitchen table next to the salt and pepper and it was soft.
So which is it?

And that's how Mom did it when I was a kid.

Keeping butter at a refrigerator temperature -- along with keeping it wrapped so air and light exposure is kept to a minimum -- will slow the process of decomposition down.
Considering the cost of butter -- and the ease with which one can soften it (in a microwave) -- I don't know why one would let is sit out at room temperature.
I leave the wrapper on the butter rather than putting the stick on the glass butter tray, it does not slide around so much and keeps the butter tray cleaner, longer.

Unsalted butter will not.
Not to difficult.
a stick of butter doesnt last long enough on the counter for me to worry about it going bad....
Same here, use it on my toast every morning and in cooking a lot.[8D]
So the cat can lick it.[:)]

That made me laugh. I remember as a kid I was at a friends house and his mom made us some toast with butter and while I was eating it i glanced into the kitchen and saw their cat on the counter licking the butter. For some reason ZI wasn't hungry anymore.
Only use real butter for certain cooking situations.
We leave a stick or so out on the counter so it stays soft or in case the cats get hungry.[;)][:D]
my dog will eat butter like nobodys business. if she gets her paws on a fresh stick, she'll eat about half, three quarters of it and bury the rest in the furniture. thats a lot of fun

WOW,.....don't you have something else to clean up later also?[:)]
Cold butter makes my cheeks clench.
Cold butter burns holes in my bread.[;)]
Salted butter (bought from store that way) will keep on table for weeks.
Unsalted butter will not.
Not to difficult.
+1
one butter stick out.....the rest in the fridge.[:)]
Yup, what he said.
