I remember listening to NPR's annual Thanksgiving emergency cooking Q&A a few years back, and Shirley Corriher was the guest. She said you don't need softened butter to cream it, just cut cold butter into tablespoon-sized chunks and run that in the stand mixer with the sugar. The mixer's beaters will do the same thing the rolling pin is doing in this video. This means it will take a little while longer to reach fluffy creamed butter, but it will get there.

Or fill a bowl with hot water. You can microwave or heat the water in a sauce pan on the stove. Remove the water, turn the bowl face down and place the butter under the bowl. In a few minutes the butter will be soft.
Heat a glass of water in microwave, stand butter on end in wrapper. Dump water and place the warm glass over it like a dome. Works perfect everytime! Need many sticks softened at once just use a bowl upside down after heating it. 👍
Perfect…so many well..uninformed human still use the microwave which kills all nutrients and destroys any molecules that resemble food..or water..people wonder why they are over weight, their kids are over weight..called a weapon, Microwave
Take the amount of butter you want to soften. Fill a bowl with boiling water, then after a minute pour out the water and invert the bowl over the butter. Three minutes later, the butter should be soft. Not mashed.
Better yet – you can easily cut it into thin slices. The increased surface area allows it to warm up to room temperature more quickly.

Your WAY TOO HAPPY with your rolling pin?? Butter didn’t stand a chance!! 😏😏🤭😂😂😂
Fill a tall glass with boiling water, let it heat up for a few seconds, dump out the water, then invert the glass over the stick of butter
I prefer the older ATK. This delivery is rather annoying.
Cool tip! Literally softening butter (usually I trial and error with the microwave)

Is she for reals😐
Put the stick on an aluminum sheet pan. It'll suck the heat out of the butter much more quickly
Close observation of this woman reveals several shots of alcohol before smashing the butter will help too…
I usually grate the butter. The small pieces then take only a few minutes to soften.

I beat the butter up, up, up, up, up, up, up, I beat the butter up…..
Once again, you’re precious 🥹🫶🏽
Why is she always wearing airpods?
Nice hack, but I think cling wrap would be easier to work with / less wasteful. Just fold it over and make sure it's closed on all sides.
It would have been great if she had taken a bite out of the flattened butter at the end! 😅
Beating the buttery goodness back into it with a smile. 😁👍 Practical AND satisfying.
But why the elbows every time. Why?
Inaccurate.
Teehee I'm so quirky and bubbly!

And for decades I have been putting it under my underarms for a few minutes.
I drive into Brooklyn every day to go to work. I have no shortage of desire to smack something.
I just love your videos! So much enthusiasm! ❤ 🤗
Grate it.
She is adorable.

I beat my butter like I vote , early and often 🥖
And here I thought it wasn't possible to be too cute. I was wrong.
Will that bag fit her head?
Cool ☺️
I always love your awry and mischievous attitude on your videos! I’m guessing you had fun smacking that butter. 😂
You can also soften it by remembering to take it out of the fridge an hour or so before cooking.
i would recommend peeling off the wrapper BEFORE pounding it
