one-click-butter-cutter-use.jpg
Here’s an interesting means of getting your butter on your toast without enduring some howling curses from your mum owing to the fact that you left half your toast… in the butter. The One Click Butter Cutter is pretty handy as it makes the mess negligible. Simply load the butter into the cutter (this may seem really hard to some of those who handle the device for the first time). Once loaded, you can simply ‘click’ it to have a neatly sliced piece of butter ejected from it. It also serves as a good storage container for your butter and is dishwater friendly too. The butter cutter is designed for the Elgin-shape 1/4 pound butter stick.
