I'll pass. Butter is like garlic - you can never have too much - IMHO,
of course.

Oh yeah. Another thing to clean. Perfect, though, for people who can't
remember how many tablespoons of butter there are in a stick, and cut
accordingly.

Most of the butter I buy comes with a measuring guide on the wrapper, but I
usually just guesstimate it, figuring that a pound is a little more than 2
cups, so a little less than half a pound is one cup, half of that is a
quarter....and so on. I really hate having to measure butter, lard or
vegetable shortening in a measuring cup/

It really saddens me to think that there's actually a market
enough for Amazon to carry something like this.

And that 3 people found it useful and gave it 5-Stars.

This is why the World is going to [censored].

There's also a "Pro" model, with a black and chrome finish, that costs
over twice as much. :P

I never knew it was that difficult to slice off a pat of butter. I
now know what I'm giving everyone for Christmas this year.

Eesh! I don't recall ever having a problem measuring butter.

Peanut butter is even more difficult to measure accurately, but all
one needs to measure these items is a 2 cup glass measuring cup...
fill with cold water to the 1 cup line and add butter, shrotening,
peanut butter until the water reaches the amount you want, like the 1
1/3 cup marrk will yield 1/3 cup... just pour off the water and there
is the exact amount, and no mess.

Now I will go to look at that gizmo, whatever it is.... I don't think
I've ever measured such items except by eye... I mean can there ever
be too much butter, peanut butter, and chocolate.

I agree, except in baking. There, you need to be relatively precise.

Oh, yeah. Just polished off a few thick slices of still-warm sourdough
butter and portion control of butter never entered the picture. A friend
once gave me an artsy stainless steel slicer that cuts a quarter-pound stick
into, oh, about 67 slivers. Never used it.

Well, if it cheers you up any, I'm pretty sure Mister Quickly's review
is not 100% sincere. So two people.

Either that, or it is sincere and the world is therefore a much more
hilarious place than I had dreamed. So either way things work out OK.

Not true, of course. People have been baking perfectly good breads,
cakes, pies/tartes and pastries for centuries without ever measuring
anything precisely. Quite often I've made baked goods with the remains
of a packet of butter. It *might* have been the amount needed but was
probably a little less. Structure and taste of the final products are
always as expected. For many things the amount of sugar is reduced from
what is stated in the recipe and the amount of salt is reduced or
eliminated entirely. Stuff wtill works and still tastes excellent. No
precision there.

Given that I currently live in a very dry climate (often need more
liquid than stated) at high altitude (may need to adjust oven temp,
cooking time and occasionally add a bit more flour), following most
baked goods recipes in a 'relatively precise' manner is guaranteed to
fail often. It's easy enough to learn what textures a baking mix should
have and get there without measuring anything precisely.
