Pass the butter and keep it coming

In this season of culinary indulgences, what better ingredient to enjoy than butter? After all, you'd be hard-pressed to find anything on your plate--okay, my plate--that wouldn't be tastier with a healthy dose of butter. Trouble is, I'm always gouging and hacking up the bars and tubs that come my way, leaving what remains of my favorite spread looking as if a crazed child took out a tantrum on its unsuspecting surface, much to the dismay of family members and fellow diners.

This dilemma, however, is a thing of the past now that we've acquired the One Click Butter Cutter, a product that's as fun to use as it is effective, providing pats of butter with just the squeeze of the hand--perfect in the kitchen for baking and cooking or on the table during meals.

Simply load a stick of butter into the device and, with an effortless squeeze, the stainless steel blade slices off a nifty pat. What sets the One Click apart from other slicers is that it cuts one pat at a time and stores the remaining stick. The One Click can cut up an entire bar in less than a minute and measures out five slices to a tablespoon. Since it is just less than eight inches tall and vertically configured, it takes up less space in the refrigerator than a butter dish. Moreover, the stainless steel and durable plastic parts are easily cleaned and dishwasher safe.

"I came up with the idea because it seemed that there should be some way to just grab a butter dish with one hand and quickly squeeze off a slice of butter without needing to get a knife and open up the butter dish," reveals inventor Paul Wilhelm.

The One Click Butter Cutter ($19.95) is available online at www.oneclickbuttercutter.com, or by calling 845-225-6630.
