1, melt butter on the stove: cut the butter into cubes to shorten the distance the heat travels from the outside of the butter to the center. The larger the surface area exposed to the heat, the faster it will melt.
2. Melt butter in a thick-bottomed pan: Place the butter in a thick-bottomed pan so that all parts of the butter can be heated and melted at the same time, and the butter is less likely to burn.
3. Melt the butter over water: cut the butter into small pieces, put a small bowl of hot water into the pot, and heat it over water to melt it, and be careful not to let the water get into the bowl of butter.
