Using the back of a spoon to spread butter on bread is superior to using a butter knife, amirite?

Butter in a tub usually isn't Butter. If it's in the fridge but you can still spread it, it isn't real Butter.

Yep. Real butter would be solid, I leave mine out of the fridge year-round and it's impossible to spread in the wintertime, just have to slice real thin and place it on my bread otherwise the bread gets ripped to bits 😂

it's impossible to spread in the wintertime Wait you guys don't have indoor heating?

Absolutely, but many people, like my family, don't keep the house as warm in the winter as in the summer because it saves energy, and because people are more likely to be wearing sweaters and other warmer clothing in the winter anyway.

Toast will fix that. But then you gotta wait till it melts.🥱

Key word here is tub. For sticks/pads of butter (especially at room temp) knives are superior. maybe not strictly for spreading but definitely for scooping. But for tubs i'm inclined to agree

Yeah I was confused how you can effectively pick up butter with the back of a spoon

It's how Americans pack their butter.

Try peanut butter next. I've never felt more satisfied spreading something on bread than when it was peanut butter with a spoon.

Yessss I always use a spoon to scoop and spread peanut butter! It works so much better!

maybe it's time to butter the butter knife so that it can easily butter butter.

But isn't it difficult to get the butter onto the back of the spoon in the first place? And isn't buttering the corners of the bread tricky?

Not even a little hard actually

Agreed! As a PB&J afficionado i often use the back of a spoon to spread the PB, then flip that bitch around and scoop out the J. Advanced tool application.

But then don't you get peanut butter mixed in with your jelly? Also, do you always do PB first, and then the jelly?

I do this for everything, butter, mayo, peanut butter all of it. If it's soft like jelly I scoop more with the spoon then spread.

I watched Walter White do this and it changed my life forever.

I do this for mayonnaise and since I usually eat cottage cheese with a sandwich it gets one less thing dirty.

What sandwich are you pairing with your crotch cheese?

Been doing that for the last 35 years. So much more ergonomic than any knife.

I work in a kitchen, we spread a lot of butter. There's probably a 50/50 split between those who use a knife vs a spoon. I'm team spoon.

Maybe you've got an invention there - you'll need a better trade name than 'butter spoon' though :D

It's because theyre not using butter. When have you ever seen real butter that comes in a tub?

by Anonymous 1 month ago

Yep, anything called a "spreadable" is not butter. No way this would work with real butter out of the fridge. That said, I knife doesnt work to spread butter out of the fridge either.

Butter, no. You're doing something wrong. Preserves, however, need a spoon.

by Anonymous 1 month ago

Psshh who needs utensils?! I'm chaotic. I tend to grab the entire stick and use it like a crayon to color the butter onto the bread.

by Anonymous 1 month ago

Big Butter knife industry contests those results. Why else would there be butter knives? You MUST use butter knives..these are not the spoons you are looking for...

by Anonymous 1 month ago

Sounds like you just don't know how to use a knife properly. Seems like a skill issue tbh

by Kind-Goal-7596 1 month ago

I use a spoon for thicker things like peanut butter. I should try it with jelly tho, see how that goes.

by Barrett36 1 month ago

I like spoons better for PB&J, mayo or tuna too. BUT. cutting a sandwich in half with a spoon is so much worse it's never worth it and I'm not going to dirty an extra utensi.

Butter =/= buttery spread that comes in a tub Therefore not an unpopular opinion, just wrong.

by Anonymous 1 month ago

Just use the back of the butter knife. The part without the serrated edge. No rippage.

Get a butter stick, bro

by Anonymous 1 month ago

Yeah, and then you can just grab the stick and color the butter onto the bread like a real G!
