Why does butter have its own compartment? #foodstr
It was probably so it would stay warmer near the front of old fridges, to stay spreadable.

My thought was always because a lot of people leave butter out on the counter but in certain recipes you want it to be firmed up and easier to check how much there is so you could put it in the fridge to cool it down really quick and then be able to measure it for recipes maybe I’m wrong I don’t cook 🤣🤣🤣
I thought it was to stop it smelling/tasting of cut onions and other choice fridge aromas.
Butter seems to soak that stuff up.
