    I leave butter out. I try to limit it to a week, and usually succeed since I cook with it now. I’ve seen it turn color and taste after a couple weeks but it’s still edible and never made me sick

    My brother refrigerates and claims that if you make thin slices it gets soft pretty quickly. I’ve also seen YouTube claims to that, but I must not be patient enough
