Soften Butter
Isn’t it annoying when you forget to take butter out of the fridge before making a recipe? It’s fine if you forget to bring the butter to room temperature ahead of time. Butter can be softened quickly.
Cutting butter into cubes and letting it sit on the counter for about 20 minutes is the simplest method. The smaller pieces will soften more rapidly than the entire stick.

In 20 minutes (or less! ), your booze will be chilled. With these sommelier-approved sparkling wines for under $20, you can toast on a budget. Make a toast with a glass of the good stuff!
