Technique: Melting Butter In Microwave
By: Carrie Barr

About

Heating butter in a microwave instead of on a stove top. Remember to always cover the container that the butter is placed in as butter tends to explode in microwaves. Also remove the foil wrapping from butter or margarine sticks.
It takes approximately 20 seconds per tablespoon depending on microwave wattage.

My niece taught me that if you are melting stick butter in a non-foil wrapper, you can slightly open the wrapper but leave it on when melting the butter in the microwave. The wrapper acts as a shield against splatter.
