MAX SPACE Butter Mill - Usa Designed + China Made - Butter Dispenser

I've been using the Butter Mill for a while now and, honestly, it's been a game-changer in my kitchen. It's one of those tools you didn't know you needed until you have it. Before I had the Butter Mill, spreading cold, hard butter on bread was always a bit of a struggle. With this tool, that problem is a thing of the past. It grates the butter into thin, easy-to-spread ribbons even when the butter is straight from the fridge. It's so effortless that it almost feels like magic! The Butter Mill is straightforward to use and clean, which adds to its appeal. It's certainly become a must-have in my kitchen. If I had to find a drawback, it would be that you need to make sure you screw the top on securely. If it's not, the butter might not grate properly. In conclusion, the Butter Mill is an excellent tool. It has made the simple act of buttering bread so much easier. It's a must-have for anyone who enjoys butter on their bread, toast, or pastries. Despite the minor issue with the top, I'm still giving it a full five stars for its practicality and efficiency.

Who ever invented this is a genius! I hate using sticks of butter because they are so hard coming out of the fridge. With the butter mill it sends out a very thin ribbon of butter that's soooooooo much easier to spread. No more leaving butter out to soften or struggling to scrape thin slivers off a rock hard stick of butter. This thing works great! It also acts as a case for your butter, and with the cap on it keeps the air out too. IT ALSO WORKS AMAZINGLY WELL WITH BLOCKS OF CREAM CHEESE!!!! USER TIP: On the West Coast of the USA our butter sticks are shorter and fatter than the rest of the world, so you will have to cut the side off of your butter to make it fit in the mill. But this is no big deal, its easy to do, and just place the portion you cuff off back inside the mill so it won't be wasted at all. USER TIP: cranking down the handle creates a little pressure inside the case that may cause it to send a little extra butter out after you stop twisting it. It's no big deal, but to stop the flow of butter precisely at a specific amount, just turn the crank a very small amount in the opposite direction as soon as you want it to stop sending out butter. This relieves the small amount of pressure on the butter in the chamber and stops the flow of butter exactly when you want it to stop.

I like using stick butter mainly for the space saving in the fridge. But using it cold is a pain as everyone knows. I’ve seen this used on YouTube and wanted to try it myself. Loading butter is simple. Twisting the handle and getting butter ribbons is also simple. The whole unit is very thick plastic and doesn’t flex, but the handle could end up being its weak point. Cold butter in this is still a challenge. Will it do it? Yes, but you are going to hurt your hands trying to crank down on that handle. And it usually makes a ‘ribbon clump’ when cold, so you still have to spread it out to help it melt. Now if you pull it out of the fridge at least like 10 minutes before you need it, it works beautifully. It will be much easier to twist the handle and the butter will lay down better. I’m using Sam’s club stick butter, maybe other brands will behave differently. It’s still loads better than destroying your toast trying to spread a pat of cold butter. I do also notice I use more butter than I normally would. Oh, and take note that the length is quite long when it’s freshly loaded, it still fits in my mini fridge, so a regular fridge will be fine.

There are holes on the edge where you insert the butter that get clogged up with butter that will not fit in the square hole because the hole is smaller than the sticks of butter

This is junk compared to the original one that was sold years ago. like the other reviews, the red cap popped off the threads the minute you exert pressure on the screw. it is harder to turn and to fill the butter. seems like the dimension of the tube is smaller as it scraps the butter stick and leaves a glob on the top. this is cheaply made and flimsy. Dont buy

Buy this now. So easy to use, keeps my kids from getting crumbs in the butter. It dispenses a nice thin ribbon that it perfect for bread, or cooking. No need to dirty a knife. Sometimes the butter keeps coming out after you stop twisting, but that's easily solved by just untwisting it about a quarter turn once you've dispensed as much as you want

I don't use much butter because it's what, 100% FAT? But I LOVE BUTTER. This little gadget lets you control the amount of butter where you can still get a taste without the awkwardness of trying to cut little bitty pieces off the stick. I use the type of butter that is in the longer, skinny sticks, so had no problem loading the gadget. First try with cold butter, it was very difficult to turn and I thought I had made a mistake. Next day, it wasn't as hard....not sure why, but maybe it just needed to "settle in" or something. The third day, I ran hot water over the outside of the square portion the butter is in just to un-stick the butter from the walls of the dispenser. It worked just great, even with the butter being cold. You do have to "back off" with the screw part to keep more butter from oozing out the opening. Easy. Then one day, I let the butter sit out an hour or so before dinner and it still worked wonderfully. Even easier. The muffin or bread or whatever you are having does NOT have to be warm. Just be ready to detach the ribbon of butter with your table knife, fork, or even your finger. The butter will break away from the dispenser if you just pinch & pull the ribbon with your fingers. Your fingers are only on the piece you took out, so the butter inside is still clean. To wash it after running out of butter, I simply used HOT water out of the tap with liquid dish soap. The butter came right off with the hot water and soap. It's dishwasher safe, so if I can get it clean in the sink, your dishwasher can do as good or better at cleaning the gadget. Crazy Russian Hacker's Butter Gadgets Put to the Test on YouTube [...] is how I learned there was such a thing. He has the red top kind, but I found too many bad reviews on that one. This all-white one is a dream.

Why is the list price for this now ~$24?!?! I first bought one of these in 2010, and it was just under $9. I bought another in 2021, and it was just under $15 This thing works quite well, though I did have the threads break on two different instances. I don't remember if the broken threads were on the cap or on the body of the device. But with this new price point, something has gone off the rails. $11-$12 is what I'd call a fair price for this item. They need to reassess their pricing strategy.
