I've been unsalted butter for cooking for the past 10 years not knowing that its mainly used for baking and normal people use salted butter I feel so dumb
>>21831395assuming you salt whatever youre cooking to taste it really doesnt matter
>>21831395im the same person i was 10 years ago.
>>21831395>I've been unsalted butter>I feel so dumb
>>21831395We keep both on hand here - unsalted for most cooking and baking, salted for putting on bread and things like baked potatoes. If were going to have only one in the refrigerator, it would be unsalted.
>>21831395I gave up on unsalted butter because it was annoying to buy separate butters, now I use salted butter in baking even when it calls for unsalted and I still put the requested amount of salt in. People seem to like my desserts at company baking events more than others.
>>21831400Im bad at salting to taste
>>21831437Yeah, many desserts are undersalted.
>>21831444how can you be bad at that, just taste your food?
>>21831495You can't salt "to taste". Grammatically it makes no sense.
>>21831495I either put too much or too little Since switching to salted I never have under seasoned food now
>>21831395>I've been unsalted butter How in the hell does butter make a 4chan post?
>>21831523>build to spec>perform to standard>salt to tasteit is a commonly accepted use of the word. per MW, def. 6a, "used as a function word to indicate agreement or conformity"
>>21831523It means salt the food to your personal taste. Add salt until it tastes good to you. It makes sense.
>>21831535>be me>be unsalted butter>hated by normies>only really good for baking>pathetic shelf life>nihilism.jpg
>>21831524if there's too little, just add a bit more. too much is harder to fix, but aim for too little and adjust from there. it's not that complicated.
>>21831395Salted butter is an American thing, in fact it's a nice example of the founder's effect phenomenon. In the earliest days when processed dairy was mostly brought from Europe, it was salted for preservation, and that flavor stuck with the colonists, who normalized the practice of salting butter produced in the Americas. The vast majority of European butter is unsalted ("sweet cream" as they call it)
>>21831395Oh magnificent source of unsalted butter, who’s buttery goodness doth not deplete even after a decade of extraction, we are not worthy of thine presence.
>>21831620>importing butter across the whole oceanWere they genuinely retarded? It's just whipped milk
>>21831403
>>21831523your are an autism, pls consider kys
>>21831651what does this mean
>>21831620>>21831635Yeah I don’t know about all that - the 1 and only thing I can remember from visiting the colonial reenactment village on a school field trip as a kid was milking cows and working the butter churn to make old fashioned butter
>>21831395I've been a chef for the past thirteen years, every restaurant uses unsalted butter for everything. Stop using butter as a seasoning.
>>21831692I'm talking early-mid 17th century, there aren't many reenactors of that era beyond Plimoth Pawtuxet (formerly Plantation)
>>21831698No cap?
>>21831712Fr fr 100 ong
>>21831552>>21831558>>21831684Thank you for your input, but it still doesn't make sense.I taste food. I don't taste food by putting salt on it."to taste" is invalid.
I use ghee
>>21831395Depends on what's being made, sonI ONLY use unsalted in hollandaise, for example
>>21831395think of how much shit youll eat the right way now.
>>21831395>normal people use salted butterFat retards with hypotension use salted butter. People who can cook and have functioning tastebuds use unsalted butter and add salt as they cook.
>>21831408>>21833753Like these niggers. I bet they actually can't taste anything that doesn't have a tablespoon of salt in it.
>>21831395Salted butter burns to easy when you cook in a pan with it. I always use unsalted
>>21831815>t.Grow up.
>>21833778Thats why my food has no flavor
>>21831523It's grammatically correct, you're just a moron.
>>21831395never seen salted butter in my lifeI imagine Americans salt it because their butter tastes disgusting
>>21837838Where do you live? What brand do you buy? Pretty sure all the top popular brands of butter in the world come in salted varieties, though not necessarily your local one.
>>21834382Kek, saved.
>>21834382>>21837865It's not even new grammar. "Walk to Limerick". [verb] [preposition] [noun]
>>21831552Based dictionary reader
>>21837847The popular brands are all salted butter. The top "brands" are unsalted without exception. It's not that difficult. Popular doesn't mean top. Top means you need to have access to both fresh, unsalted butter, prepared in small batches as well as top tier salt - either Moshio or Trapani salt. On top of that: you wouldn't waste either of these on supermarket-tier garbage. You want your produce to be top tier as well, right? Are you going to drink a shit wine with your top tier butter, meat and salt? Serve it with hydroculture vegetables? No you're not. Do you see where this is going?
>>21837847 (You)>>21837881>top popular brands>Popular doesn't mean top.What exactly do you think "top of the pops" means? Beethoven?
>>21837847literally not one person in Europe has ever seen salted butterwhy would you put salt on butter? what the purpose of that?
>>218378380/10 bait
>>21838384
>>21837869MW stands for Merriam-Webster, you fucking glue eater. How can anything Merriam-Webster says be based?
>>21838296Did your mother drop you on your head as a child or something?
>>21831395Only retarded subhumans like you buy salted butter. If you buy butter you buy butter. You can add salt while cooking. The only reason why anyone would ever pre-add salt to the butter is for the single purpose of penny pinching because salt is less expensive than butter. You are buying less butter at a higher price and paying butter prices for salt.There is no practical reason why the butter should be salted. That doesn't do anything.
>>21839082It's traditional. Salt is a preservative.
>>21831395>I feel so dumbBecause you are. I assume you switched from unsalted to salted as a direct result of a recent TBI.
>>21839082>That doesn't do anything.makes it taste saltier
>>21839092Butter going bad is a problem that doesn't exist and no one has ever seen it happen. If for whatever reason your butter has ever gone bad, it's a sign that you don't use butter and should stop buying it because you don't eat it at all.
>>21831395It doesn't really fucking matter, you can just add a bit of salt when you add the butter if you feel it needs it. Salting is mainly a preservative agent and even then it only really makes a difference when you're homemaking it with methods that can't get as much water or buttermilk out of the butter itself. Nothing to feel dumb about.
>>21838386lol why is it 40% barcode?
>>21839124Because the packaging design stood out enough for you to notice while still being functional.
>>21839124I've seen a lot of products switch to these really long barcodes that go all around the product. I assume it's because self-checkout has become the norm and it speeds up the process. In the past the cashier would need to know where the barcode is on every product so they can do it fast, but now every random retard scans their own product so you eliminate the wait time for customers.Eventually everyone will switch to extra long barcodes because stores want the queues to move faster.
>>21839117I didn't say I would use salted butter myself, I said that salted butter is a tradition and a preservative, which contradicts you. It's ironic how salty you are about this.
>>21839129>In the past the cashier would need to know where the barcode isIt's on the back 99% of the time.
>>21837869Blimey!
