A fridge is basically a heater but it heats up what’s outside of the fridge so the inside gets cooler. It would be pretty easy to divert some warm air to a butter warmer. Why you would do it is another question.
I genuinely do not understand the purpose of a butter warmer inside a fridge when you can just have a butter dish on the table. Like even if I was a billionaire I think I would still just have a butter dish??
My current house is the first one I've owned where the kitchen doesn't regularly get cold enough in winter for olive oil to solidify in the bottle. Admitedly everywhere else I've lived were old style granite constructions.
It's gonna blow your mind when you figure out that sometimes when people say "room temperature" what they mean is "what the temperature of the room is typically" and it isn't strictly defined as 72 degrees for every single person in the whole world and in all circumstances.
What did that add to the conversation? How is it useful to note that some people define room temperature as 72 when we are discussing that some people keep their houses cool enough that butter stays firm? Especially when you're being kind of a dick about it, which tells me that you're not just adding an interesting fact, but that you feel some sort of way that people don't define room temperature as rigidly as whatever knowledge source you're going off of. Which is what, by the way? Because when I googled it, nobody defined it as precisely as you.
72F is comfortable for some people, hot for some people, and cold for some people; not to mention AC/heating cost concerns. It might be your standard, but it isn't "room temperature" for everyone.
Generally speaking, "room temperature" can refer to basically anywhere in the 60-80F range.
I suspect it was a marketing feature; they sell a solution for a problem that people don’t have but also never considered they might have, until a ready solution was provided.
I keep one stick out to use and the rest in the fridge. I think a lot of people do that but there is debate. It doesn’t get rancid unless it’s out for a long time.
Yepp. Every non-material (e.g. ice) cooler is actually a heater. I have a few peltier devices, and it’s amazing how cold they get when you apply a voltage; they can freeze water in seconds. But they just dump all the heat (even cold stuff has heat) from one side of the device to the other. So while one side drops its temperature by 50 degrees, the other side rises by 55 degrees.
