When a recipe says to have your eggs, butter or cream cheese at room temperature, how long do you set it out of the refrigerator before using it?

just get a french butter dish... it's the oxygen that causes butter to go rancid.Caine said:Butter? Who refrigerates butter? Are you aware that butter goes from the manufacturer to the wharehouse, to the store, without any refrigeration until the store gets it? Butter will last for at least two weeks, usually more unless you live in the desert, just kept inside a dark cupboard or pantry.
I buy butter in packages of three, one pound, slabs. I cut one slab in half and put it in the butter dish in the cupboard, the other half goes in the butterkeeper built in to the refrigerator door, and two go in the freezer. When I am close to finishing the one in the butter dish, I add the another half from the fridge, and move a frozen slab to the refrigerator door.

We get one pound containers of the butter that adheres to the paddles when they are finished churning it. It is much more creamy than the stuff they sell to the stores. I keep it in the cupboard with no problems...it's unsalted too.
