A french butter cup!

It works by pouring a bit of water in the outer cup and the inner cup that holds the butter, fits upside down. Keeps it fresh without oxidation.

I love real spreadable butter on my bread and together with my bread slicer, I’m a happy man :)

pleasae tell me about the bread slicer.

For me, and 2020 not 2022, a used bread machine.

Fresh multigrain bread with only natural ingredients early in the morning, smells wonderful, and makes you want to get up. Also does pizza dough, the kids make all kinds of chocolate bread, cloud bread, etc, etc. All stuff that's really just a bit too much hassle for a busy family to do manually, requires handling a hot oven, etc.

I just got the cheap Domo MS171, it does what it’s supposed to do and folds nicely in a drawer but I’m sure there are many better options out there.
If you want a bread slicer and are able to find it in your location, I'd recommend Graef. They're an old German company and have produced bread slicers since the 1950s. Still super good quality and you can buy different blades to finely cut cheese and meats as well
We have close to every kitchen aid imaginable, but I never heard of a butter cup.

Now I have I will buy them as a Christmas gifts for this year. Thank you.
