Would you consider that option with your ideas?

I personally love this idea:

Donna, hurry up and get it on your inventory so I can buy one.

Yes, love that one. The simple ideas are often the best and that one is a winner.

That may be one we will look back and think, how did we do without it.

Are you a butter lover too lol! I have actually managed to keep butter out of the fridge in a butter dish from the 30's and it has been good with the weather lately.

Do they even make fridges with butter conditioners any more?

Yes, coming from Denmark we are big on the real thing, butter. (Lurpak)

Research now shows it's healthier.

Funny you mention that, I haven't seen a fridge with that feature since the 80's.

Our family usually has a container of butter outside of the fridge but it tends to turn quickly, so this clever idea looks like a great solution.

Most natural products are better for us, I'm so glad things are changing. Margarine is yuk!

Butter gets kept in the pantry here. Cool gadget for the time of year it's best kept in the fridge.

i'd be interested in more information (scientific)

because i'm sure csiro still recommends using

butter over margarine.

from mayo clinic:

Margarine usually tops butter when it comes to heart health.

Margarine is made from vegetable oils, so it contains no cholesterol. Margarine is also higher in "good" fats — polyunsaturated and monounsaturated — than butter is. These types of fats help reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad," cholesterol when substituted for saturated fat.

Butter, on the other hand, is made from animal fat, so it contains cholesterol and high levels of saturated fat.

Agree, from the lifestyle and the amount of usage of butter in the past, margarine was a healthier alternative.

However, now we have moved to a more health conscience society, moderation being the key, natural products appear to be less taxing on organs in the body.

Butter - Cream, water, salt.

Margarine - Vegetable oils 65% (containing 52% canola & sunflower oil), water, salt, emulsifiers (soy lecithin, 471), preservative 202, food acid (lactic), milk solids, maltodextrin, natural colour (beta-carotene), vitamins A & D, flavour.

Keeping in mind many margarines are still made with Hydrogenated oils (trans fats).

Hence the recent swing back towards all natural butter.

But stawks, having that knife at the table for your guests to admire is a treat.

Then you shouldn't have included a video - just asked the question.

Silly donna lol

Crowd funding is a brilliant idea. But I think Aussies are a suspicious lot.

Want to know what's in it for them etc.

Hard crowd, the Aussies

unfortunately - according to research,

most australians consume too much saturated fat

from animal products. we need to eat healthier fats

such as polyunsaturated -

(omega 6 found in margarine)

not all margarines are the same of course but

the good ones are a lot healthier than saturated fat.

Anyone that still thinks eating margarine is healthier than using butter is living in the 90s.

Butter is natural and doesn't need artificial colouring. Marge is full of trans fats and who knows what oils. It's quite yukky actually.

Having said that, I use Butter Soft from New Zealand. The ingredients are cream (from milk), water, salt and milk fat. (Yes, I checked). I keep it in the fridge and it's always easy to spread so I would say no to the butter knife. If you really want something like that then just scrape a bit off with a serrated knife and wait for a few seconds.
