Butter is a complex natural product, and is a mixture of many substances. Consequently, it does not have a definite melting point - merely a softening point. It will become liquid in the vicinity of 300C. Having been melted, it will not reform to butter again.
ice can melt at room temperature. Anything that is liquid at room temperature would, in its frozen state, melt at room temperature. Oils, beverages and mercury - if in a frozen state - would melt when exposed to room temperature.
Shortening has a higher melting point than butter due to its higher saturated fat content. Saturated fats have a more ordered structure, which allows them to melt at a lower temperature compared to unsaturated fats found in butter. This is why shortening typically melts faster than butter when exposed to heat.
Butter does not have a definite melting point because it is an example of an amorphous solids, and amorphous solids have non uniform attractive forces between the particles. Therefore the particles of the butter will not all melt together but rather the melting will happen gradually. Having a mixture of particles where some areas are going to have strong forces of bonds and other weak forces of bonds. The weak forces will over come first and later the strong forces will overcome, and that is how butter melts.
Ice will melt at a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
Butter melts faster than ice because fats in the butter require less energy to move up a degree when compared to ice

Yes, butter can be a liquid when it is melted. At room temperature, butter is typically solid. Heating butter to a temperature above 95°F (35°C) will cause it to melt and become a liquid.
because the good lord said let it melt
nope butter begins to melt at 90 degrees
Cause its frosty like snow! Snow melts right?
To quickly soften room temperature butter, cut it into small pieces and leave it at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can microwave the butter in short 5-second bursts until it softens, but be careful not to melt it.
Butter with a higher fat content tends to melt faster than butter with lower fat content because fat melts at a lower temperature than other components in butter like water or milk solids. Higher fat content butter has a lower melting point, which allows it to melt more quickly when exposed to heat.
To quickly soften butter, you can cut it into small pieces or grate it, then leave it at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes. Avoid using the microwave as it can melt the butter unevenly.
Yes, you can melt butter, refrigerate it to solidify, and then melt it again. However, repeated melting and solidifying can affect the texture and quality of the butter over time. It is best to melt only the amount needed for immediate use to maintain the butter's quality.
True, but it can get very, very soft if the room is warm.
yes you can but it melts the butter
It is hot in the summer. the butter will melt.
