Butter Wizard
Certain things in the kitchen benefit from some good technology, you know, like the coffee pot and toaster, but the butter dish is one thing I never would’ve thought needed a chip stuck into it. Judging by the existence of the Butter Wizard, I guess I was wrong.
Butter, at least in my house, is kept in the fridge. Whenever you want to use some, you generally take it out, give it a few seconds in the microwave, and it’s good to go. I never thought that was a lot of work, but the Butter Wizard aims to help me be a little lazier. It’s self described as a temperature controlled butter dish. Any stick of butter you put into the Wizard will be kept at the temperature of your choosing so that when you finally go to butter that toast, you’ll be all set. Whenever plugged in, the wizard will charge itself up for when there’s no outlet around, then it can provide about 2 hours of perfect butter for your enjoyment. I’m serious, that’s pretty much everything the Butter Wizard does. Oh, almost forgot, it’s dishwasher safe too. That’s always important.
For those with their credit cards already out, make sure you’re ready to pay £42 for the UK version or $60 for the US version (something to do with the plugs I guess). Never knew butter was that expensive, did you? You probably have your credit cards put away, but I forgot to mention, you can also get the Butter Wizard with a “cow spots” finish.

[...] Todos sabemos que la mantequilla por lo general se queda en el refrigerador hasta el momento de usarla, sino se derrite y se puede dañar. Pero con este dispositivo, se conserva a la temperatura que la requieras. Se llama Butter Wizard y es un controlador de temperatura para la mantequilla. Sólo la colocas y decides a cuantos grados la quieres mantener . Se autocarga y dura hasta 2 horas y se puede lavar en el lavaplatos. Cuesta $60 y hay otro modelo disponible que tiene manchas a semejanza de una vaca.

I can’t even remember to charge my cell phone, I doubt I’d ever remember to charge a butter dish.

The butter wizard is a great product WHEN IT WORKS. I know, because I’ve had two of them. After several months, the first one started running extremely hot, then quit working. I thought it was a fluke, so I bought another one. Unfortunately, that began running very hot a few months later then abruptly died.
The Butter Wizard is a superb idea that needs improved reliability. Until then, I cannot recommend it.

The ButterWizard Alfille Temperature-Controlled Butter Dish works from mains electricity. The mains power lead plugs straight into the back of the unit and stays there. This enables the ButterWizard Alfille Temperature-Controlled Butter Dish to heat or cool your butter, depending on the ambient temperature to ensure that you have perfectly spreadable butter whenever you need it.

I would like to thank you very much for bearing with The ButterWizard Alfille Temperature-Controlled Butter Dish you do seem to have had more than you fair share of issues with it. There were some initial problems with the first model which were resolved some 3 years ago. The present model has proved very reliable, the only maintenance feature that is needed, is where dust and debris builds up over a period of time around the internal heat sink under the fan. This eventually will affect the thermostatic effectiveness and can cause the charge plug to be overworked, and consequently it will automatically cut out permanently for safety. By simply blowing down the two side vents on the unit (once every two months) this will clear any dust out through the fan area. This is now high-lighted on all instructions and on the Alfille website. This simple action will give your butter dish a long and reliable life serving you with perfectly spreadable butter.

Why Don’t you just leave it out it will last a long time and you’ll use it up before it goes bad.
