Making compound butter
Is it ok to heat and melt butter to make some herbed compound butter and let it cool down before using?

Typically, the butter just needs to be softened then mixed with the herb, shaped and chilled. Butter has air whipped into it. Melting will change the texture. That's not necessarily bad, just worth noting.

Yes, I noticed the diff in texture after it cooled and turned back to semi solid form. I think I'll go ahead and use it as is. Thanks.

Wouldn't your herbs settle, also?
Of course, I guess you could always whip it again.

Yeah, the herbs initially settled in liquid butter but I whipped it up as it was cooling and whipped some more before slathering it on the turkey. The turkey came out pretty tasty as it kept self basting itself on the rotisserie. I was pretty happy with my very first turkey cook.
