Butter Dispenser for All Your Butter Ribbon Needs
Here's something I never thought (and still don't think) I'd ever need: a butter dispenser that turns a stick of butter into long, thin, easily meltable ribbons of dairy fat goodness. Maxspace has all your butter ribbon needs in clear and opaque versions for $14.99. You can even make other shapes besides ribbons. [via DVICE and Book of Joe]

Hmmmm..... I was just thinking yesterday that I wanted to try piping compound butter out of a star shaped pastry tip on my pastry bag, to make individual compound butter kisses for topping meats and fish. I like the idea of making butter spaghetti, like what appears to be the shape of the second small inset picture.

I think that was invented years ago, it was called a Play-Doh Factory

Awesome. Butter, made instantly spreadable. I like it!

i'll have to check my junk drawer to see if i have room for yet another gadget..... nice in theory, though. i like the spaghetti butter, myself, you could add some chopped parsley into the whipped butter before you schvitz it through -- that would look pretty.

Has anyone else seen the butter lambs for Easter?
I've seen sculpted butter at brunches, I remember one elaborate one for a college debate bagel brunch. They melt fast, though.
I can see Paula Deen aiming at her mouth with this one...

I'll keep using my butter boat for all my easy spreading butter needs.
Although, the display side of me loves the spaghetti angle.

I don't understand why you would want this gadget cluttering up your cabinet or drawer space! What would you ever need spaghetti shaped butter for?!?!

I had gotten one of these years ago, it was called a Butter Butler. They have been for sale on eBay recently.
Yes, this thing works well. I broke mine, however, by forcing cheese through it. A soft cheese like Velveeta or cream cheese works fine, but a block of cheddar was a problem.

Yeah, how is this different from the Play-Doh Fuzzy Pumper Barber Shop?

These are great for simple, elegant presentations.

Try the ribbon thingie with a block of really well-chilled (soft-solid) ganache. Nice ribbons and curls of chocolate... mmmmmmmmmmm.

@heartofglass: loved your paula deen comment. hi-lar-ious. :)
i was decorating a friend's birthday cake recently...had tips, but couldn't locate my pastry bag. so, i decided to macguyver it and just use a plastic bag w/ the corner snipped off. well, i used a cheap bag, instead of a glad or ziplock & the second i squeezed there was a loud "poof' and i felt the icing blobbing down my wrist. cracked me up.
i imagine you could push the butter through tips too for the same effect, right?

@gastronomeg--ha! I guess you could have called it a 'volcano' cake and pretended that you meant it to look that way! I wonder what would happen if you put butter in a Play-Dough factory machine...
