“instead of an awkwardly shaped knob”

Anyone else? Just me?

I don’t have a cheese slice so I smoosh it on a board with the flat of a knife.

Wel, that is a crime to use one of those machines. But I have a good wine hack with one.

I usually commit kitchen crime and nuke it on low for 10 seconds. Just enough to make it spreadable.

Butter me not buts as the Shakespearean Marlon Brando may well have said.

why DIDN’t I think of that??? We just got a cheese slicer so it will definitely be getting some butter action!

Ed!You are now my hero! I cannot believe the answer was staring me in the face with the cheese and cheese slicer sitting right next to a slab butter (and jam). Wonderful. I may just go try it for fun – even if its 10:50pm

This way you don’t have to wait all that time and can get a thin sliver of butter instead of an awkwardly shaped knob.

Butter melts easily, if you are putting it on toast, a warm bagel, a pancake or waffle, etc. Put the pat on on top, wait a few seconds and spread. Its will ve soft, even if frozen, and spreads, easily.
