I use a vegetable peeler to shave off butter curls onto my toast and spread those.
Damn. They must come off like soft serve.
Or foot calusses
Just hold the knife under hot tap water for 10 seconds, dry it after though.
Kazuma Kazuma !
Get a butter bell! No more cold hard butter.
Butter is not actually safe to leave at room temperature for more than a few days
Salted butter is.
I don’t need to turn my butter into a tamagotchi. I can barely take care of myself.
You can also put it on car battery connecting the terminals. That’ll heat it up.
Life hacks
We have this old glass square tray thing with a glass cover that we use. We leave the butter out and it’s spreads great. We live in quite a cold climate (extreme North of Scotland), so it’s ideal. Perhaps not the best idea in Dubai…
I never had an issue cutting cold butter with a room temperature knife, wtf. Do y’all take it out of the freezer or something?
It’s not cutting the butter, mate. It’s spreading it. The toast isn’t structurally sound enough to support vigorous spreading, so you need the knife warm to melt the butter as you go to spread.
You’d know this struggle if you were a real toast-o.
I’m such a real toast-o that I still don’t need to heat the knife. I either take out the butter in advance, or employ one of three tricks:
- Scrape up a few thin butter shavings from the rest of the butter mass so it warms quicker while the bread is in the toaster, or
- Lay some scrapings on the toast and let it melt in by itself, or
- Just spread it very softly; it’ll spread, trust me. Be patient. Be gentle. Be loving.
Talking bout “real toast-o”. 😜
I take my toast fast and rough. Gentle buttering is for French pastries.
I do #2 when possible but that’s not compatible with the slotted, vertical toasters.

Hey, if you can’t make it work, that’s on you. 🤷♂️😉 Treat your toast like you treat a lady. Maybe that’s what you already do. 🔥🙈

I only have a vertical toaster. I meant let the butter just sit on the bread after toasting and let it melt in.
The fact that you misunderstood this tells me you’re not a rEaL tOaSt-O 🤪
(Please note I’m spreading the douche on thick right now, I’m not normally this obnoxious lol)
You sonovabitch, I’ve been eating toast since before sliced bread. I’m basically 98% toast. Even when I get into fights, people can’t help but tell me. /s

I tend to have that effect on people.
Oh look at these people who don’t even have butter bells!
I always think about ElectroBoom purposely trying to make a microwave fail catastrophically with metal objects in it, and what he found was that unless it had some kind of jagged edge or narrow points (like a cut up can or a fork as opposed to an unopened can or a spoon), nothing happened.
Balling up tinfoil barely did anything. A fork would cause sparks off the ends of the tines. I think he eventually got a fire started in there but it took effort to make it happen.
Meanwhile, I put a whole potato in mine not even covered in foil and that fucker sparks and catches fire like a mofo.
in case anyone doesn’t know, microwaving metal objects is extremely dangerous
It’s not “extremely” dangerous. I’ve been microwaving food and drinks with cutlery in them for years without incident. In some respects it’s even better than without (more even heating of foods, not having drinks explode in the microwave when too hot). From my experience and online video watching, only metals with sharp-ish edges or micro-ridges pose any kind of danger (e.g. crumpled aluminium, CDs).
only metals with sharp-ish edges or micro-ridges
Sooooooooooooooo cutlery?
wish i knew this 30 minutes ago
You should also not try microwaving CDs
I just gave up my age didn’t I? Everyone going like what’s a CD? Wrong answers only.
Last weekend I found that my original floppies for Eye of the Beholder II are still perfectly usable. Now get off my lawn, you young whippersnapper.
I, too, am old enough to remember Cuneiform Diagrams (CDs)
Sounds a little dangerous.
This is jus a meme, so i wouldnt actually do this, but i accidentally miked a spoon once and was surprised when it didnt spark. Looked it up and turns out it needs to be metal and lik sharp edges for it arch across. So exposed fork BAD exposed spoon meh
