Yes, There Is Such Thing as a Butter Mill — and Amazon Shoppers Swear by This $20 Version

Let’s be real: For most of us, mornings are a drag. Now, I’m not talking to those of you who roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m., hit a quick hour-long gratitude session, and answer emails while doing a wall sit. I’m speaking for the rest of us — for everyone who, like me, is desperate for every hack, trick, and gadget they can get their hands on to streamline their otherwise sluggish mornings. This can be as high-tech as a splurgy programmable coffee machine that has a piping-hot pot ready for you when you wake up, or as simple as a personal blender that lets you prep your breakfast the night before. 

Speaking of breakfast, toast is usually an easy option for those of us who aren’t moving at full speed in the wee hours of the day. And, while we have plenty of suggestions on the best toasters and toaster ovens to snag, there’s also the question of how best (and most easily) spread butter on said toast. Enter, your new best friend in the kitchen (and probably in life): the Butter Mill. 

This innovative kitchen gadget is proudly designed in the USA and is one of the easiest and most fun ways to effectively spread butter, margarine, or cream cheese on toast and bagels. Simply load up room temp or cold butter into the chamber, twist the knob, and watch in awe as ribbons of perfectly spreadable butter fall out the other end. Plus, there are measurement markings on the side of the device to see exactly how much butter you’re using! The polymer and stainless steel construction means it’s meant to last, and so many Amazon shoppers — while recognizing that this is definitely a “nice to have” item — swear by this thing for making their lives just a little bit easier.

So, say goodbye to the days of trying to spread cold butter over your toast in the morning and snag yourself (or a butter-obsessed loved one!) this Butter Mill ASAP.
