The 'MeltBuddy' Ice Cream Scoop and Knife make Preparation Easy

— March 19, 2024 — Business
The MeltBuddy is a new kitchen tool from Noorast, designed to simplify the process of serving ice cream and butter. It is a heated ice cream scoop and butter knife set that heats up quickly, ensuring a smooth scoop through frozen desserts or hard kinds of butter. The device is rechargeable, features a long battery life, and comes with a magnetic storage option. It is also designed for easy cleaning.

Noorast has initiated a Kickstarter campaign to fund the production of the MeltBuddy. The campaign has a funding goal of $2,700 CAD, and has already raised well over $37,000 CAD. The final pricing and availability of the MeltBuddy will be disclosed once the funding goal is met. For now, the super early bird pricing for one set is $29, though the page does not disclose how discounted this is over the MSRP. Interested buyers can visit the Kickstarter page for more information and to contribute to the campaign.
