I have never regretted buying my butter warmer.
omg i didn’t know such a thing existed my life changed today
Coming back to say that we had a butter warmer when I was growing up but I didn’t know it had a name – it was just the thing my mom melted butter in when we made popcorn. And we made popcorn a lot – it was an essential part of family t.v. time.
My SIL has pointed out that what my mom used as a butter warmer was actually meant for making Turkish coffee, not melting butter. But now I know there is an actual kitchen tool *specifically* for warming butter and that my mother was ahead of her time.
Saucy euphemism or not… I need one of these.
