Butter is a popular product in Russia.

Butter is used to fry dishes, bake pies with it, spread it on bread. In short, every refrigerator has this product. But is it real butter?

To answer this question, you can conduct your own check right in the kitchen. There are 4 ways to do this.

Methods for testing butter

1. The easiest way is to cut the product with a knife. If the butter easily separates from the knife, then everything is fine.

The counterfeit sticks to the blade and is difficult to remove.

2. To make a more precise check, you can use another method. To do this, throw a cube of butter into boiling water.

If a milk fat stain appears on the surface, then it is a natural product.

3. If you cut frozen natural butter, it will break into pieces.

If you manage to cut off an even slice, then the product contains impurities.

4. Frying will help to rip off the masks from the counterfeit. The natural product does not foam in a hot frying pan, melts evenly and smells nice.

Oil with impurities foams, smokes and releases water.
