Butter is essential in the kitchen, whether it is to prepare a butter-jam sandwich or  sandwiches with butter and chocolate spread (as you prefer), or even to bake and to cook. Butter is everywhere!

The essential ustensiles that go with butter


   1. The butter dish

The one and only, the essential and the indispensable butter dish! It allows you to keep your butter longer, to make it look nice... in short, its only has advantages!

There are butter dishes of all colors and for all tastes.

   2. The butter knife

The butter knife is a knife that helps you spread the butter more easily. 

It has a rounded edge, which is not very sharp so that the butter can be picked up much more easily than with a sharp knife; it does not leave any traces.

In my opinion, this is a must-have in the kitchen, although a normal knife can do the job.

The non-essential ustensiles that go with butter


   1. The butter print

The butter print is used to give your butter a nice shape so that you can present it during a lunch with family or friends.

The molds can be made of wood or silicone. Simply spread the butter in the mold and put it in the freezer for a few minutes. 

Personally, I find this utensil unnecessary. I think that the butter dish already plays a nice aesthetic role and that it has a conservation role that molds do not have. 

So, this utensil is not essential. But if you want to enjoy yourself and create small butters for a party, don't hesitate.

   2. The butter grater

It allows you to "grate" the butter to spread it more easily when you take it out of the fridge.

No need for a long speech to tell you that this utensil is superfluous.

   3. The butter curler

It allows you to make small knobs of butter so that it can be decorative and can be spread more easily.

This utensil is not essential because a simple butter knife can be used to spread your butter, and a butter dish can be used to present your butter nicely.

In addition, when butter is in a butter dish, it is much softer because it is out of the fridge, so no need to buy a butter curler.

To conclude... 

Do not forget that butter is healthy when it is organic and consumed in moderation.
