traveling butter

[ilovemk76]

I live in the Florida heat and my butter isn't in the fridge. (The whole pound is but the stick that's being used is not) Yes, I do know the difference between butter and margerine.

Do you leave it on the lanai or in the air conditioned kitchen during July?

Gosh, if I leave butter at room temp. in the summer--and don't have my a/c going full blast, I get a lovely combo of melted butter and soft squishy butter. Tricky to handle, at best.

That's what I heard! Have yet to have a chance to actually try it.

Very few restaurants actually give out real butter anymore. 99% of the time it's margarine. Even McD's stopped carrying the whipped butter. Most of those packets are not tightly sealed. Like the McD's butter tubs, the film comes right off once it melts. Although KFC serves it in little packets like the ketchup comes in, that's the only place I know that does that. Again I don't think it's real butter.

I'd be more worried about it melting (not just being soft at room temperature), to me it never tastes the same once it's cooled again. In the belly of the plane, any temperature is possible, and really wouldn't trust it.

You could try like a quart size ziploc inside a gallon ziploc. Freeze the butter in the quart, then fill the gallon with ice around the quart bag. Or fill it with water and freeze it around the quart bag. That might keep the butter at it's best.

Of course anything happens, and there's going to be a great big mess.

Where do you get your statistics from?

I think it only travels first class. Back in coach you might see PAM or Country Crock Spread, but no butter.

My Mom can't go to any restaurant without a stick of butter in her purse. She actually butters her McD's hamburgers.

She is older, healthy, and happy.

When we bring brick cheese and cream cheese down to WDW, we freeze for a couple of nights, then put in one of those refridgerated bags that you can purchase in the grocery store by the frozen food. We put that in our luggage before we go.

Freeze some butter, then put in baggies before you leave. However, if you are going to WDW while it is hot, the butter may melt. Wrap tightly!!

That's one of the funniest things I've ever read.

Why in heavens name would anyone want to tote BUTTER in their luggage??

OP, I just have to ask you "Why"?

I asked the same question out loud, LOL.

It's fine if it melts in the suitcase - helps my socks and undies slide on so much easier!

Too funny!

I have packed butter before, put a whole stick in a plastic container and the container in a zip lock bag. Have done this a few times never had any problems. I take banana bread and muffins in rubbermaid containers, which is what we use the butter for. I'm from the dairy state we put butter on everything. OP you should be fine.
