room temp
Neither chilled nor heated
Room temp is short for room temperature—the ambient temperature of an indoor space, typically around 68–72°F (20–22°C).
The phrase appears most often in cooking instructions: Let the butter come to room temp before mixing.
It's casual and practical, avoiding the longer form without losing clarity.
