If you are someone who likes to cook and use a lot of butter (practically a good part of Albanian families), then you should keep reading.

When it comes to cooking like a toast coated with butter or something similar, butter can stay at room temperature.

Meanwhile, foods like biscuits, or other cakes that require butter, should be cooked with really cold butter.

Believe it or not, keeping butter in the fridge may be the reason it will make your cooking better.

Butter can stay in the freezer miraculously, as its taste and texture do not change even after it is frozen.

On the other hand, butter may not be as good to use if you keep it in the fridge for a long time and do not use it often, but still, storing it in the fridge increases its shelf life.

If you are worried about having to thaw frozen butter to use it, there are several reasons why this is not a problem either.

When the butter is frozen, it becomes really easy to carve. If you do not want to freeze, it takes a few minutes at room temperature. If you need it for a toast, you can grind it into pieces on bread and you will see that it will melt very quickly.

If you like to cook cakes, the use of frozen butter is also a great body to imitate "fraisage", the traditional method of cakes. This technique uses the heel of the hand to cook or "flatten" all the dough dough lumps and bring them into small sizes with a smooth dough.

When grinding your frozen butter, you do not have to make all that extra effort as the butter will already be in small, thin pieces, scattered all over the dough.

Having thin pieces of butter well dispersed inside the dough, you will create many "pockets" of butter, which cause the dough to swell after the heat hits the oven.

In the end, you will have soft and delicious cakes.

So just in case, keep some frozen butter in your fridge.
