anyone heard of heated butter knifes? I'm thinking of getting OH one for xmas. He mircowaves the butter every morning. Cheapest I can find is £20ish! I didn't expect that much tbh

Yes - I sometimes use one when the butter is straight out of the fridge.

It works like this:

1) Open cutlery drawer
2) Remove any knife
3) Put said knife in the steam of a boiling kettle for a few seconds
4) Scrape cold block of butter with steam-heated knife

Alternatively, for step 3)

3a) Put said knife under hot tap for a few seconds, then dry


Voila - you have a heated butter knife at an MSE cost

That would be quite tricky to wrap for Christmas though.

Put perfectly.
I can usually get a couple of weeks out of my water but then I dont have children going in it, and I am clean to start with, plus I usually give it a good shot of chlorine every few days.
I wish I could fill from a hot tap, much more cose effective. Recommend you but a starter kit for around £15 when you buy it, it has all the chemicals and dip sticks in you need to get started. I have mine inside in the winter, and so relaxing just sitting in it chilling with a glass of wine.
Again, I bought a pump to empty, so I can get all the water out in about 5 mins, but used to syphon using a hosepipe and that took about 2-3 hours.

So do you keep yours at 40 degrees constantly or heat it from cold each time you use it?
No children in mine either only me and DH a few friends thought they would be having a go but we soon put them off!

Sad dad another thing we do is have a quick shower before we get in with any products helps keep the water clean

Could get him a new kettle with instructions.


The hot water takes about 5 mins before it comes out hot! I have no idea where it goes en route to the kitchen.

TBH...I cant really tell the difference between vintage and non vintage.
Have also noticed in A that they have a shelf full of piper H gold top...vintage 2007 I think that was RTC price of £15 instead of £35

Although I cant see it on .com so again only a good price and not C&C
