Of course, I call it a "knife" and I can only cut one pat of butter at a time (or anything else).

Slice, toss in, and presto, the butter's all ready! Mine's flat, though, so it fits neatly in a drawer, and it *was* free. I wouldn't recommend one to most people :-) I actually have a butter cutter, acquired free at our town’s swap shed, and use it now and then; it’s best when I’m making a big pot of something (triple or quadruple batch of risotto, f’rinstance) and need to melt butter in a hurry.

It is only because my kids spread butter like it's cream cheese and we run out so fast! But they will soon grow up and I would be stuck with one more thing cluttering up my kitchen.

You need the original egg slicer, have a look at Googles images :-)) We loved our one, but you definetely need one of these snack trays as well. No eggs with a butter cutter please!

What happens if I'm eating a particularly small piece of bread, and need a particularly small pat of butter? I think it's time they made small, medium, and large butter cutters. Aah!

I could think of many things this could be used for in the kitchen. Velveeta anyone? :) I don’t know, I think the unitask category might apply in advertising and name only.

I'm sure the added surface area created by pre-slicing the butter helps prevent spoilage and keeps the butter from picking up any extra nastiness from the fridge... -Zach I don’t think I’d consider it a dieting device…those pats of butter look huge relative to the amount of butter one normally uses!

Yes, it may be fairly pointless, but no more cluttering.

The smaller pats will warm up faster than a whole stick or whatever. Also, looking at my roll this morning I am saddened by my non-perfect pats of butter.
