BUTTER

Butter absorbs odors very easily and quickly, so keep covered.

Butter can be frozen with no texture or quality problems.  To freeze butter, mold into squares, patties or other desired shapes, and wrap tightly in aluminum foil, transparent film or freezer paper, or seal in moisture-vapor resistant containers.

Whipped Butter is regular butter into which air or nitrogen gas has been whipped to increase its volume. Because its density or weight is not the same as an equal measure of butter, it should not be used as a substitute for regular butter in most recipes. Whipped butter spreads easier and melts quicker than regular butter.
