What can I do with melted butter?

[crimedoc1]

My son is doing his science fair project on melted butter.  Don't ask. Sixth grade science fair is crazy, that's all I can say.  Anyway, he's looking at whether different types of butter melt at different speeds and is looking at four types of butter - regular salted, regular unsalted, organic salted, and organic unsalted.  He'll be melting four

you have some good ideas just remember in a lot of baking you cant use melted butter.

but when your done gently melt it all again and yes mix it together not a big problem. then pour it in to an ice cube tray that you dont want to use again. and freeze pop them out and put in the freezer most icecube trays hold 1 oz per well but double check.

I would find a cookie recipe you like and save the butter for making Xmas gifts.

As someone already said, you may have some issue if you use melted, then re-solidified butter in some baking items. You can mix them all together, but I'm not sure I would do that if I were you. Your best bet is probably picking a few things to do with it. If I were you, I would keep the salted and unsalted separate, just to give you the most options. You can freeze it, but keep in mind that butter really likes to take on other flavors, so just make sure it's well wrapped.

If I were you, I would clarify some, make garlic butter with some, and freeze the rest.

I keep my butter in the pantry, not the fridge. In summer it looks like this but eats just fine.
