Rancid butter in the sweltering Australian heat has something to say about that.

Sounds like nature is telling you it doesn't want you to live there.

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

to be fair, if you store the butter right side up, you’ll be ok.

maybe only put a smaller amount out, not the whole brick...use it before it goes bad?

BS, we keep our house temp high throughout the summer (~80F, 26-27C) and I've never had butter go rancid. Keep it away from direct sunlight, keep of covered, and only put out enough for a week or two and it'll be fine.

You must live in Antarctica if that's keeping it high in the summer. My town gets over 40c regularly, and inside most people's houses is like a humid swamp.

It gets over 100F (38C) regularly, but most have their AC set to 72F (22C).

Is AC uncommon where you live?
