I mean those little foil wrapped squares of butter, maybe 10 grams each, like you get with your dinner roll at a restaurant. Because reasons, I have 100+ of those things in the freezer. I use a square or two now and then but I'm not big into butter most of the time. What's something I can do with this butter? That probably means cook or bake something, as I expect the local Goodwill won't take it. I doubt that a food bank would take it either, though maybe that's worth a try (any idea)? I have a pressure cooker (instant pot) and an oven/range but not much cooking gear. Thanks for any suggestions. Funny ones are fine. |

I don't have a recipe for you, but I think shortbread is like equal parts flour and butter. Alternatively, LOTS of shrimp scampi. |

Hit up your local dispensaries/growers and see if you can get some cheap trimmings/shake and make some cannibutter. |

Pound cake! As the name implies, uses like a lb of butter (and floor and sugar and eggs). Good luck unwrapping all them though. That sounds the most annoying! |

Just microwave them and pick the wrappers out with tongs. No muss no fuss. |

Shortbread. Very simple ingredients (flour, butter, sugar), and uses lots of butter. Hard to screw up and tasty even if you keep it very simple. Or just appreciate not having to buy any butter for a while. If it's in the freezer, it'll keep. |

Aluminium, probably, so it should be fine |

Make clarified butter and use it to fry shit (not literally). Make a fuckton of caramel and speedrun diabetes. |

This is arguably the least practical advice in here, but also the funniest. Bonus points if you can do it to the same stranger multiple days in a row. |

Or use a pan? I don't know if it matters how you warm up the butter |

CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, etc. also have a thin layer of aluminum. Ever see (and smell) one being microwaved? It's spectacular. |

I use a ton of butter for breakfast and lunch making eggs and grilled cheese, which has more butter than cheese really. That might last a month. |

You are not speed running diabetes with ~2kg of caramel. My family goes through a similar amount of butter in a week or so, much quicker of we are baking. |

1kg of butter is not really a lifetime supply, unless you are severely allergic. |
