Butter vs. Salted Butter?

Aired on: December 31, 2008

After tackling some audience questions, Rachael turns to an e-mail from a viewer who asks if it matters if you use salted or unsalted butter in a recipe. "Salt was added to butter to improve its shelf life. We have refrigeration now so you can go salted, unsalted -- whatever floats your boat," Rachael says. "My husband likes the flavor of salted butter on toast in the morning, or an English muffin, so I usually buy the salted."
