Dill butter keeps for about a week in the refrigerator when stored in a tightly covered container. If it contains fresh dill, discard it sooner if you notice mold, an off smell or an unusual appearance.

Yes, dill butter freezes well. Wrap it tightly or divide it into portions in an airtight container, then thaw only what you need in the refrigerator. Its flavor may soften slightly after freezing.

Yes, you can cook with dill butter, but prolonged high heat dulls the dill flavor and can brown the butter. For a fresher taste, stir it into a dish at the end or melt it over the finished food.
