Sounds a little dangerous.

Did all commenters get whooshed?

Just hold the knife under hot tap water for 10 seconds, dry it after though.

Put the knife blade under your toaster or hold it over top while toasting.

I always think about ElectroBoom purposely trying to make a microwave fail catastrophically with metal objects in it, and what he found was that unless it had some kind of jagged edge or narrow points (like a cut up can or a fork as opposed to an unopened can or a spoon), nothing happened.

Balling up tinfoil barely did anything. A fork would cause sparks off the ends of the tines. I think he eventually got a fire started in there but it took effort to make it happen.

Meanwhile, I put a whole potato in mine not even covered in foil and that fucker sparks and catches fire like a mofo.

Just wave the butter, man

Get a butter bell! No more cold hard butter.

Better to microwave a mug of water and soak the knife in it for a minute

I never had an issue cutting cold butter with a room temperature knife, wtf. Do y'all take it out of the freezer or something?

Why not just microwave the butter?

We have this old glass square tray thing with a glass cover that we use. We leave the butter out and it's spreads great. We live in quite a cold climate (extreme North of Scotland), so it's ideal. Perhaps not the best idea in Dubai...

You can also put it on car battery connecting the terminals. That'll heat it up.

Life hacks

I use a vegetable peeler to shave off butter curls onto my toast and spread those.

Hot water in a glass put the knife in glass for a minute wipe it clean use it?
