Just sharing that you’ll soon be able to find Land O’Lakes one-pound packages of salted butter containing half-sticks. Each pound package will contain eight half-sticks of butter, each measuring out to two ounces or one-fourth of a cup. This makes measuring half a stick more convenient, since you no longer need to rewrap the other half to keep it fresh.
The best part — these half sticks will cost what the same as the regular 4-ounce sticks.
Being an unsalted butter user, I asked whether the half-sticks will soon also be available for their unsalted butter. Their response was since 83% of all the stick butter sold is salted — no!
Anything that is more convenient is for me. I love to bake so the half sticks of Land O’Lake butter will give me an accurate measurement when it calls for 1/4 cup. I can never cut a stick of butter straight and the wrapper isn’t always on right.
