A glue stick type contraption that contains your favorite brand of butter. Easy as pie - twist up the butter stick and apply to toast, steak, corn, etc. When finished, recap and refrigerate. Saves the mess, the melting, the extra knife...

I thought this was going to be a "Last
Tango in Paris" merchandising idea. |

I've seen butter (well, margarine, actually) in a squeeze bottle. This gets around the spreader issue. + |
|
| |
Spreadable butter recipie: take ordinary butter ( 1 stick, room temperature) and put it in a bowl with 4 tablespoons canola oil. Mix well. Warm slightly if necessary to achieve complete blending. |
|
| |
This can be refrigerated, and retains its spreadability even when cold. More canola oil = better spreadability but less buttery goodness. Less oil = firmer and less spreadable, but more buttery goodness. Adjust oil to your personal preference. |

Wait a minute ... have you ever seen what can collect on a glue stick? Sprinkles from one art project, dry macaroni the next. Steak from last night might end up on your toast the next morning ... ick. |
|
| |
Bun. Just mix the peanut butter wiht molasses or honey. Tastes great and softens it up too! |

Do you really butter your steaks [letsbuildafort]? |
|
| |
I'm sure we did this last year - or was that roller-ball butter. Anyway, [lbaf] made the point that I made then. |

A butter bell works pretty good for this IMHO. A butter bell is two bowls fitted together, such that the bottom bowl holds water, while the top bowl is inverted, packed with butter, and then immersed in the water. The water provides a room temperature seal that keeps the butter soft while keeping out the air so the butter doesn't go rancid as quickly as it would if one left it out in the open air. |
|
| |
Changing the water every few days helps to keep you from thinking that algae is growing inside there too. :) |
|
| |
But, you could then rig some sort of twisty piston thing to the end and have your butter-applicator. Just let the bell drip a bit so you dont get soggy toasts... |
|

Buttering steaks is very common in restaurants. |
