    Sounds like you lack culinary education to me. The fact you think all of these things are equivalent is a dead give away.

    There is a big difference between enjoying warm brewed coffee and drinking it at a hot temperature vs cooking a steak in the microwave.

    Butter is supposed to be “cold” but if you plan to bake a cake it makes perfectly good sense for it to be at room temperature. Nothing wrong with putting it in the microwave at a low setting for a few seconds to bring it up to room temperature. Otherwise if you don’t the butter will have a difficult time incorporating into the dry ingredients which will substantially change the texture of the cake.

    I am sorry that your parents failed you.

      Or you just put it out few minutes before using the butter. Wow i thought you were better in cooking, or did your mother not teached you how to cook? You probably bake the cake you mentioned in your microwave.

      I hope you didnt tried to microwave a fork, so its warm for your hands.
