I actually have a use for this thing. My uncle is blind and likes to have a pat of butter on his toast in the morning. However, because of his blindness, his can't accurately cut a pat of butter by himself. He can load this thing up though and get those pats of butter he wants.
The elderly or people with medical conditions that limit their body strength could totally use this (and other products like it). The general public only think they're made for idiots/lazy people because of how they're marketed.
I laughed so hard when she just violently rips the burnt toast in half. Infomercials always try to make small inconveniences look so much worse than they actually are.
The products in infomercials like that don't really annoy me. It's the people in them. They make themselves look like the most incompetent simple minded living organisms on the planet with how much they struggle with simple tasks and overreact when being 'impressed' with said product. I mean, seriously. What kind of person actually watches these and thinks "Oh my gawd! I need to buy this NOW it's AMAZING! The TV said so!" instead of doing what Mike does?
We don't have these sticks of butter in the UK either usually, they're sold as a 250g block. Either Mike managed to get American style butter...or he cut it to shape.

I know people are talking about how this is really only for elderly or disabled. But honestly I see the appeal for everyday people. It avoid the mess issue or the problem of trying to cut hard butter. Our butter dish gets nasty as people just take random slices all day long. And I think the idea would be is that you drop the slice on your bread and then you can spread it. Not just eat as is. It just avoid the knife getting the butter all dirty and it seems more convenient for when you don’t need to spread. Like it honestly does seem quicker to just click a button that drops a slice right in my Vegetable and mash and be done instead of having to pull out a knife just to do that. I do wish it came in a more appealing design instead of literally screaming out cheap tv infomercial. And of course it not a necessity but I can actually see this being more convenient if it reliably worked.
Mike you make me laugh so much! You are quite the cheeky fellow aren't you? I LOVE you! Not THAT way, of course! But in a friendly, subscriber kind of way. I look forward to watching your videos everytime you post a new one. I'm battling major depression and you have helped me a great deal. Thank you SO very much, my good man. You're humour gives one something to look forward to. And congratulations on the blessed event! How exciting that you're going to be a Father! Best of luck to you my friend, and to you and your lovely wife, for a safe delivery. And a happy, healthy baby. Cheers. :D
+dedpxl I don't think it will. I'm sure he'll still make time for the videos. The videos MIGHT slow down a bit for awhile, or maybe they won't. I mean, his wife will be doing most of the work, right? Breast feeding that's for sure. :D
To be fair, if you use butter for more culinary uses than spreading on toast(Like using it as a lubricant in cooking or as a measured ingredient), this really does steamline things a bit since it not only gives you consistent dosages, but also pre-cuts the butter/cheese for you. I bet it's a godsend for anyone who needs to make a sauce or dough that requires butter to be added a bit at a time.
This reminded me of that time I bought a sandwich and found out the hard way that the vendor couldn't have been bothered to spread the butter. Two bites in I found the first chunk. Eurgh.
If you could adjust the thickness of the cut, I could think of an excellent use for this. It's about the perfect size to load popcorn oil sticks into, it it could cut the width of the TBSP measure it would be handy for portioning the oil bars out to load your kettle.
Thanks for reviewing this I did NOT wanna spend money on this for it not to work, I remembered the commercial for that, the bacon wave and bowl light, and I had to know
***** Laughing at shit that's unpleasant to people isn't really a sign of being a horrible human being, it's a sign of liking dark humour, you aren't causing any harm by it so stop being ashamed of yourself becuase some idiot says you should be.
I just want to know where Mike managed to find the American-style sticks of butter in the UK. I've never seen it in anything other than tubs or blocks.
I can see it being handy at least to control how much butter goes into a frying pan when cooking on the stove top, but as for butter uses. and if you can figure out how much each slice of butter is worth, maybe for recipes? but that is all i can think of for how it could be useful, cause we have a butter dish in our house, and it works great.
I only use refrigerated butter since I think it's gross leaving it out and how soft it gets. I just cut it really thin with a good knife and it melts and spreads pretty quick still without ruining bread/toast.
It could help with portion control too. Let's say 1 square is a table spoon so you only use one per meal. Therefore you're not adding, by accident , more butter to your meal by not measuring what's on the knife.
Mike, how could you? Why would you cut that banana with a butter-cutter when you already have the apex of banana-cutting technology: The Hutzler Banana-slicer, a space-age solution to all your banana-cutting needs!
... wait, you don't have to refrigerate butter?! *looks it up* Oh, I'm in the tropics where room temperature gets above 70°, so butter can't be left out here. Getting a good even cut off a stick of butter can be a bit tricky down here, this would come in handy.
This was great, for some reason I was laughing uncontrollably to this whole thing. I feel good now. Thumbs up to the EZ Butter, thumbs up to Mike Jeavons.
It could be useful when you're making grilled cheese or any pan fried food which cooks well at high temperatures. You want to put a pat of butter in the pan right before you drop in your item to cook. So if you're cooking multiple items it would make the process easier to put a new pat in as you go. But a fork works well enough for me.
Just mircowave a cup full of water for a minute, get your butter out, pour out the water and put the cup upside down over the butter. Wait a few seconds and it's soft. Or just get clarified butter and keep it on the counter. On the other hand, a buddy of mine has no right hand. (He's only an honorary lefty.) This is one of those tools that might be helpful for him, since some tasks are difficult even with his Good Hand. (It opens, closes, and he can give people the finger with it.) He really likes the tool that lets him crack eggs one handed, and that cradle you put your milk in and it helps you pour.
*Grace comign home from work* G:Mike why is there cheese and butter all over the bloody table?! M:Oh I was doing another episode of info- G:Yep, I shouldve guessed...make sure you clean up after you post the video
They complain about getting the butter out of the wrapper, so say you should use this product instead. . . In which you still have to get the butter out of the wrapper to use. As for the cheese you have to cut it to get it in the thing so at that point why not just slice it normally?
Now here's my invention: the EZ Butter Butter Cutter. It cuts butter into pieces you can then easily fit into the EZ Butter Cutter. It makes life with the EZ SO much easier!
When it comes to this, the main purposes I see from it are, portioning, because it cuts uniformly, and for those with medical conditions where they have no strength or coordination.
You could probably put them under your shoes to butter everywhere you go (since your body weight would squeeze it). Not that it would make more sense in any way. Maybe you could even use it to cut sausages, e.g. bologna?
maybe this could be useful for... like doing this semi-industrially? Like a restaurant that wants nice, consistant butter on their pancakes or whatever? I can at least say that it could be good for appearances sake (more important for restaurants than when doing it yourself, since you go to such places to pay them to do all the effort for you), and does seem like you can make your way through this stuff rather quickly when you just spam it like he does when he is shooting. Maybe collect those in a bowl, and then you can prepare all the butter bits you would serve for the entire day.
Honestly, this looks pretty good. Yeah I don't /need/ it, but think of all the knives you don't have to clean form the butter and it keeps crumbs from getting in the butter. (I absolutely hate it when that happens.) I just look at it the same way I do a salt shaker. Yeah I /could/ just have it in a container and punch some out on my food, but I /like/ having it in a shaker or grinder. Same idea.
As long as it's not too warm you're entirely safe leaving it out. Milk goes off quickly because bacteria can't get enough of it's lactose - it's a form of sugar. There's very little lactose in butter, because it's almost entirely salty fat.
+Inotamira Orani yep. Any cheese that contains little whey and almost nothing but curds has almost no lactose. Whey cheeses like ricotta have lactose; there are hard sweet whey cheeses like gjetost that have so much lactose that I guess the sheer concentration of it slows the bacteria down. Keeping butter at room temperature in an airtight dish seems very rare in the USA nowadays.
There are actually plenty of dairy products you can safely not keep in the fridge. I didn't realise until recently that some people think it's deathly unsafe to keep butter in a cupboard. I had a friend who was horrified that I would consider doing such a thing. Her face when I told her the brie was in there with it was priceless (brie tastes better at room temperature). Then again, not many people I know really buy butter since margarine is generally more convenient all year round and very few houses still have a pantry.
kind of odd for anyone who doesn't have trouble cutting butter, but i like how fun it is as a lil projectile weapon. i know this is pedantic but having a bit of butter on veggies is a good idea, since it makes the fat-soluable vitamins easier to absorb.
It works. but so does a regular knife. I guess you could use 2 of them, one with butter, and one with cheese, to make super fast cheese sandwiches or something? Could be nice in the morning before coffee, when you are too sleepy to operate knife.
Imagine bolting a bunch of these to a rack and loading them up with weird stuff. Banana. Pepperoni. Hot dogs. Cucumber. Cheese. Celery. Make some sort of bizarre futuristic dispenser.
My husband wants it to make his dump cake. This isn't a joke. We have a dump cake with crushed pineapple and cherries. No soda involved just sliced butter on top. This would make it easy!
There's actually a very easy 'life hack' to make butter easier to spread if it's too cold. Just use a cheese grater, smaller pieces warm up faster and are easier to spread.
I never have the foresight to get the butter out of the fridge, so I could either get one of these or try to make some sense out of the shambles that are my life.... double your offer you say?
I admit, I said out loud, "But would it work with cheese?" and since it does, I might actually get one. It'll be nice to have regular slices of cheese for cheese on toast, as I always cut my slices wonky as FUCK and it just annoys me. I guess anybody hosting a cocktail party could also do with regular, small slices of cheese for cocktail sticks or something.
Ok, so if you have this product, you need to keep it in the fridge while loaded? Otherwise the butter will soften, and just make a sloppy mess when you try to cut it. Assuming it didn't pour out the bottom first.
I could super use this. We buy butter kind of in bulk when it's on sale and freeze the extra boxes, but my roommate goes through the non-frozen butter super fast and /never/ puts a new one out so I'm constantly going into the kitchen and finding no cutable butter. (And thinner slices at least thaw faster so instead of waiting all day I only have to wait say thirty minutes?) - As for the cheese, I've never seen a cheese block that comes in a shape that fits in there. But my roommate could use something like that to cut cheese for him because omg no matter how basic it is to just knife-against-cheese-slice-straight he somehow manages to only take chunks out of it. /Chunks/ He doesn't even just cut at horrible diagonals. He takes whole chunks out of cheeses I didn't even know you could turn into chunks (like mozzarella - it's a stringier cheese so you'd think it'd come off more stringy but nope he takes chunks out of it like it's cheddar). Those lil slices would be pretty good for making cheesie toasties though.
I'll never understand these kitchen gadgets. Storage and cleaning must negate any convenience, right? The thing is the size of fifty butter knives, and I'm fairly certain that cleaning it will take more than a single pass with a folded sponge...
Fat is not as fattening as sugar, but it's more caloric for a given weight. (Adding fat to a sugary or starchy diet probably won't help.) Vegetables with butter arguably aren't that bad for you, and the fat may improve absorption of vitamins.
Yup, that seems to be the deal with infomercial products. Either they would have a legitimately handy use but they don't work at all, or they do work but they're for something no one needs.
I was thinking of cheese lol, I always like a bunch of thin slices with consistency, might actually not be too bad though it seems a little on the thick side.
at least in the north east of the US, i cannot think of a single person who does not have their butter in the fridge it is so common place, that many probably do not realize you do not have to have it in fridge
I can see this maybe for dieting, it seems to cut a regularly sized piece of butter so you only let yourself have 1 piece on any bit of toast or bread or something, and then for the cheese maybe for cheese and crackers?
"just open the top slide in your butter"....mike j fails the simplest of tasks and we all enjoy his videos because of it...unless you like ants....or brine shrimp
This is another one of those products good for people who are disabled, but marketed to everyone.
How can you add a comment 3 days ago when it wasn't on RUclips. are you a time traveller?
Mike's patreon supporters get early access to videos
+Andrew Whitney
Well, we sure know who's "first" on this video. Sneaky time traveller!
Although it does seem to be stupid difficult to load. A disabled person would have quite a hard time with that.
i dunno, if they can't hold a knife and cut butter, how will they be able to squeeze this gadget?
I actually have a use for this thing. My uncle is blind and likes to have a pat of butter on his toast in the morning. However, because of his blindness, his can't accurately cut a pat of butter by himself. He can load this thing up though and get those pats of butter he wants.
i'm sorry that your uncle is both blind and unable to feel from his fingertips life must be so hard
This would actually be good for portion control.
The elderly or people with medical conditions that limit their body strength could totally use this (and other products like it). The general public only think they're made for idiots/lazy people because of how they're marketed.
Case in point. Companies need to stop marketing products this way xD
XD These people with medical conditions though probably shouldn't be eating butter on everything in the first place though.
What? If I somehow got terribly shaky hands or something I shouldn't be eating butter anymore? You ok mate?
No, it's still useless for those people too. Because you can just simply not put the butter in the fridge.
But then the butter will go rancid a lot quicker.
But does it work with che... OMG IT DOES!!!!!!
You bastard
but does it GRATE cheese?
even the infomercials tell this to Mike :D
No willy in it?
If your bananas are straight enough to fit in there, they probably are not bananas.

I'm not sure if we have different butter sizes, but it doesn't look like it could handle the usual form in which butter is sold in Germany.
wir müssten sie vielleicht halbieren oder dritteln.
und viel glück wenn du margerine magst^^
We don't have these sticks of butter in the UK either usually, they're sold as a 250g block.

Mostly for people with severe arthritis or palsy. It might be nice for cutting the butter into nice little chunks for baking.

Doesn't butter in a butter dish spoil faster than in the fridge? I thought butter dishes were just for table settings.
If you could adjust the thickness of the cut, I could think of an excellent use for this. It's about the perfect size to load popcorn oil sticks into, it it could cut the width of the TBSP measure it would be handy for portioning the oil bars out to load your kettle.

Mike you’re bloody hilarious man, only been watching your videos for a little while but your channel cracks me up! You should have your own show 😂
It might be great for people with disabilities.
OMG! I didn't think about that! My blind friend might actually be able to make use of this. I'll have to show it to him.
+suicune2001 That'll be... difficult.

As a person with diabetes, I want this thing. I have to cut slabs of butter about that size most mornings to cook my eggs.
I just want to know where Mike managed to find the American-style sticks of butter in the UK. I've never seen it in anything other than tubs or blocks.
Maybe it could be used for portion control? That's pretty much the only thing I can think of that would be an advantage with the butter cutter
I am actually really impressed with how well the butter cutter worked
I can see it being handy at least to control how much butter goes into a frying pan when cooking on the stove top, but as for butter uses. and if you can figure out how much each slice of butter is worth, maybe for recipes? but that is all i can think of for how it could be useful, cause we have a butter dish in our house, and it works great.
This episode was filmed during the 11th of August. Grace had Mike grounded for two weeks after buttering up the table.
I only use refrigerated butter since I think it's gross leaving it out and how soft it gets. I just cut it really thin with a good knife and it melts and spreads pretty quick still without ruining bread/toast.
SPOILER:
He DID cut a cheese.
And even added a banana for scale. It's pure unadulterated win.
but did he stick his willie in it?
But can it cut turds?
I doubt it
Never in my life would I ever think of seeing a man shooting butter out of the butter cutter.
Mike's eyes became that of a little boy and he looked so adorable launching the butter and cheese across the table :-)
I'm honestly kind of pleased with the cheese. I like nice cheese slices.
It could help with portion control too. Let's say 1 square is a table spoon so you only use one per meal. Therefore you're not adding, by accident , more butter to your meal by not measuring what's on the knife.
Mike, how could you? Why would you cut that banana with a butter-cutter when you already have the apex of banana-cutting technology: The Hutzler Banana-slicer, a space-age solution to all your banana-cutting needs!

This was great, for some reason I was laughing uncontrollably to this whole thing. I feel good now. Thumbs up to the EZ Butter, thumbs up to Mike Jeavons.
I really enjoy mike's spence of humor.
The amount of butter people like on their food is totally subjective, and therefore a "Perfect pat size" cannot be guaranteed.
At least he got it to work! I've seen others try it, the stick doesn't fit, it doesn't cut, and of course, refrigerating butter.
It could be useful when you're making grilled cheese or any pan fried food which cooks well at high temperatures. You want to put a pat of butter in the pan right before you drop in your item to cook. So if you're cooking multiple items it would make the process easier to put a new pat in as you go.

I can actually see me using that gadget.

I love it when these things actually work.
You could probably put them under your shoes to butter everywhere you go (since your body weight would squeeze it). Not that it would make more sense in any way.
Maybe you could even use it to cut sausages, e.g. bologna?

welcome back i missed you

love the reviews!!!!
I kinda want one just because you made it look so fun.
I can't stop looking at your shirt and thinking it would be better as Superman.
Where I live you can leave butter out only during winter otherwise it turns into a butter syrup
I'm always inordinately pleased when a product actually works well at a uselessly specific, pointless task.

We buy butter kind of in bulk when it's on sale and freeze the extra boxes, but my roommate goes through the non-frozen butter super fast and /never/ puts a new one out so I'm constantly going into the kitchen and finding no cutable butter. (And thinner slices at least thaw faster so instead of waiting all day I only have to wait say thirty minutes?) - As for the cheese, I've never seen a cheese block that comes in a shape that fits in there. But my roommate could use something like that to cut cheese for him because omg no matter how basic it is to just knife-against-cheese-slice-straight he somehow manages to only take chunks out of it. /Chunks/ He doesn't even just cut at horrible diagonals. He takes whole chunks out of cheeses I didn't even know you could turn into chunks (like mozzarella - it's a stringier cheese so you'd think it'd come off more stringy but nope he takes chunks out of it like it's cheddar).
Those lil slices would be pretty good for making cheesie toasties though.
I'll never understand these kitchen gadgets. Storage and cleaning must negate any convenience, right? The thing is the size of fifty butter knives, and I'm fairly certain that cleaning it will take more than a single pass with a folded sponge...
my question is does it work with refrigerated butter
Fat is not as fattening as sugar, but it's more caloric for a given weight. (Adding fat to a sugary or starchy diet probably won't help.) Vegetables with butter arguably aren't that bad for you, and the fat may improve absorption of vitamins.
Yup, that seems to be the deal with infomercial products. Either they would have a legitimately handy use but they don't work at all, or they do work but they're for something no one needs.
but does it work with Exotic Butters?
I think the soap bars we have in our trains in Germany would fit perfectly into this :D
"EZ Butter! I'll get a hold of one, believe it!"
"Like no other! Before I know it, I'll cut butter and cheese!"
You should review the My Shiney Hiney product, if you can get your hands on it.
I was thinking of cheese lol, I always like a bunch of thin slices with consistency, might actually not be too bad though it seems a little on the thick side.
at least in the north east of the US, i cannot think of a single person who does not have their butter in the fridge it is so common place, that many probably do not realize you do not have to have it in fridge
I can see this maybe for dieting, it seems to cut a regularly sized piece of butter so you only let yourself have 1 piece on any bit of toast or bread or something, and then for the cheese maybe for cheese and crackers?
"just open the top slide in your butter"....mike j fails the simplest of tasks and we all enjoy his videos because of it...unless you like ants....or brine shrimp
There's an off brand of the EZ butter called the butter cutter, so at least he isn't the only one to think of it
It'd be a good thing for me since my hands have trouble holding knives and stuff. Sucks that it's hard to load though.
Does it cut butter substitute or squeeze it out like a sloppy shit?
Which is a better launcher: EZ Butter or Pop Chef?
I can see this being very useful for people who are counting calories as it cuts a consistently sized pat of butter.
