@tj I’m happy you reached this conclusion but a bit sad you didn’t have any blocks of butter in the lathe to do the shavings

@tj How long do you have before the butter softens?

@tj Sorcerer !!

@tj
Never mind the Dutch ¨cheese-slicer´.
Which works perfect with Gouda-type cheeses, but even on Brie/ Camembert and other cheeses, if not too soft. And real butter, or making crisps !
An ancient tool still used in The Netherlands. Not because we are El-cheapos. ( Which we are ).
But it allows some air between slices , adding more taste. We gave them to "our' Canadians , but Cheddar goes better if thicker I guess. There is at least one in Australia, we gave somebody one as present too.

@tj First time I've heard the term 'cooking butter' and now I'm quite curious about what other uses of butter exist 🙂

@tj What also works for me is a cheese slicer. My cheese slicer has a wider blade than my potato peeler

@tj Cheese slicers like this work too @LifeTimeCooking

@tj
A cheese slicer is good for slicing cucumber.

@tj Likewise, if you are making Southern USA style buttermilk biscuits, you can freeze the buffer and then grate it on a box grater as if it were cheese before stirring it into the batter.

@tj and there was I thinking you had to have an elaborate array of butter dishes to ensure you always have butter ready to spread.
