Perfect Pats of Butter


Butter Slicer

I got this as a gift from a friend familiar with my tastes for fun kitchen tools. Who knew I would become so dependent on this?

It slices perfect pats of butter (butter must be chilled), and is just one of those tools that become necessary the more you use it.

How to use it:

Simply place Butter Cutter over a stick of chilled butter and press down. Voila! Perfect pats of butter.

    Looks like this would be good for cheese as well. I want one! :-) Thanks

    What a fabulously simple but effective tool - thanks for the tip, Jay, I will be using this for my herb-butter logs, which until now have been a pain to slice!

    I agree- great product. It’s so hard to cut frozen butter!

    Yeah- and not like those lethal horizontal slicers they sell that cut the end of your fingers off!
