Learn how to use the Microplane Butter Blade for effortless spreading and beautiful butter curls. This guide covers slicing, curling, and serving tips.

Quick Answer

The Microplane Butter Blade with walnut wood handle is a 3-in-1 tool for slicing, spreading, and curling butter. Use it straight from the fridge for clean slices or soften butter slightly for elegant curls.

Why the Butter Blade Stands Out

Unlike a standard butter knife, the Butter Blade combines a flat spreading surface with a curved edge for curling. The walnut wood handle stays comfortable during use, and the stainless steel blade resists sticking. It works best with cold or slightly softened butter—room-temperature butter will smear rather than curl.

How to Use the Butter Blade for Spreading and Curling

  1. Slice Cold Butter: Hold the Butter Blade with the curved edge facing down. Press firmly through a cold stick of butter to create clean, even slices. The blade cuts without tearing, so each piece keeps its shape. If the butter sticks, run the blade under warm water and dry it before slicing.
  2. Spread Softened Butter: Use the flat side of the blade to spread softened butter onto bread, toast, or crackers. The wide surface covers more area in one stroke than a narrow knife. Avoid using the curved edge for spreading—it works best for curling and slicing.
  3. Create Butter Curls: Let a cold stick of butter sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes until slightly pliable but still firm. Drag the curved edge of the blade across the top of the butter stick in a single, smooth motion. Apply even pressure to produce a thin, elegant curl. If the curl breaks, the butter is too cold. Let it warm another minute and try again.
