Softening butter in the microwave risks melting it, which alters the texture of baked goods. Jennifer Garner suggests using a cheese grater for quick softening.
Using a cheese grater to shred cold butter allows it to soften rapidly while maintaining its consistency, resulting in better-textured baked treats without the microwave.
Tipping the cheese grater on its side can make the grating process smoother and ensures that your countertop stays clean after the task is done.
This method mirrors a popular TikTok hack that demonstrates grating butter with a fine mesh sieve for softening—both techniques yield similar effectiveness.
