Who doesn’t loathe the frustrating experience of trying to spread cold butter on toast, only to end up tearing your bread to shreds? If you like to eat your buttered toast first thing in the morning and don’t have time to let your butter thaw (who does?), you’re in luck. There’s a product or two out there that will make all your butter-spreading dreams come true.
A butter mill takes cold, hard butter and turns it into a soft spread in just seconds. All you have to do is stick your butter into the mill and twist the knob on the base. The butter comes out grated in soft, quick-melting ribbons, making it easily spreadable using a knife.
