Next, let’s cover the microwave method for melting butter. This is one of the most common methods and is best for tight time crunches, like when you need melting butter in just a minute or so. However, the microwave method usually comes with quite a mess to deal with later so make sure to keep that in mind!

How to Quickly Melt Butter in a Microwave:
- First, cut the butter into chunks or slices.
- Then, transfer the butter to a microwave-safe dish and cover it with a paper towel.
- Heat the butter in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds at 10-second intervals. Stir in between each interval with the spatula.
- The melted butter is ready to use or serve as soon as it reaches the desired consistency.
Melting Method Specs:
- How long does the microwave method take? 30- 60 seconds total, using 10-second intervals.
- Level of messiness: This method does leave a mess behind, even with the bowl covered, so the clean-up can be a bit more time-consuming. If spilled butter is allowed to dry in the microwave this will make the clean-up even more difficult.
- Will the butter burn if melted in the microwave? Nope! Because the butter is checked at intervals, you don’t have to be concerned about accidentally burning the butter.
