General Rule of Thumb: "Stick" to a few general rules when cooking for "dairy" good results the first time, and every time. Here are a few to remember:

• Use unsalted butter with seafood and in baking - its delicate flavor brings out the best in these types of dishes.
• For maximum flavor, heat butter before using. Heating releases natural flavor compounds, allowing butter to develop its full, rich taste. Drizzle over vegetables, pasta, grains, potatoes or fish and poultry. Don't stop there, experiment - butter's delicious on almost everything!
• Use butter sticks when preparing recipes to ensure even measurements. Whipped butter contains more moisture and air and is better for toppings and spreads.
