Heated Butter Knives

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Butter Knife Heats Up to Make Spreading Butter Easier

— June 9, 2016 — Art & Design
Few people have not felt the frustration of trying to spread cold, or dry butter onto a piece of toast and this heated butter knife solves the common issue.

In five seconds, this heated butter knife warms up to 35 degrees and makes spreading butter onto toast much easier. The knife has a simple design with a black handle, rectangular shape and blunt edges. The heated butter knife can be recharged and is also dishwasher safe. The knife is detachable and the power source comes from the handle, meaning that once the company's heated ice cream scoop comes out, that too can be attached to the same handle.

Butter on toast is an essential breakfast staple and this knife prevents cold butter from ruining that experience.
