Tip: How to Soften Butter Quickly

In summary, the best ways to quickly soften butter are to cut it into small cubes and leave it at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, or to use a microwave on a low setting and check on it every 5-10 seconds. It typically takes 30-60 minutes for butter to soften at room temperature, but cutting it into small pieces can speed up the process. Grating butter or placing it in a preheated oven for a few minutes are also effective methods.
I've been known to pound mine flat, so this would be about the same. That looks like a great site. Thanks for the link.
