Answer 1

unsalted butter lasts only a day or two, and wiill melt rapidly at room temperature. SALTED butter will last a week or more kept covered. First hand experience. I switched to a low sodium diet and unsalted butter will only last in the fridge. I put a stick in a butter dish, as usual, and went to work. When I got home, there was a buttery, oily mess to clean up.
