Product DescriptionThe Microplane Butter Blade is a smartly engineered kitchen tool that transforms cold butter into something that actually spreads. The topside features a flat slicing edge that cleanly cuts pats and slices through paper wrapping — with printed measurements for accurate portioning when cooking or baking. The bottom features three rows of tiny holes that pull across a cold stick of butter to create soft, airy strands that warm up rapidly and spread flawlessly onto bread, toast, muffins, scones, and corn on the cob. The rounded tip is crafted with a hollow semi-circle for pulling elegant butter curls for garnishing or serving. Dishwasher safe and works equally well on cream cheese.Details & Dimensions Overall dimensions: 7 1/2" x 1" Blade surface: 3 1/8" x 2 1/4" Three functions: slice, spread (stranding holes), and curl (hollow rounded tip) Printed measurements on topside for accurate cooking and baking portions Works on butter and cream cheese Dishwasher safe blade; hand wash protective cover Includes reusable cover to protect blade in storage Shipping weight: 5 oz Use & Care Slice: Use the flat top edge to cut pats or slice through wrapped butter Spread: Pull the bottom surface across a cold butter stick to create soft spreadable strands Curl: Draw the hollow rounded tip across butter for decorative curls Dishwasher safe; store with protective cover to keep the blade clean and safe
