The ButterMate revolutionizes the storing, measuring and dispensing of stick butter or margarine. This product stores a standard one quarter pound stick of butter or margarine, measures pats of butter from one sliver up to eight tablespoons and dispenses the desired amount. Simply adjust the slider to your desired measurement and press the slicing arm. The wire blade will accurately cut the butter without need of a knife and eliminates the annoying task of peeling wax or foil paper from the stick every time it is used. Perfect for baking, the ButterMate dispenses precise measurements of butter everytime. The measuring scale is marked in both tablespoon and teaspoon increments and conveniently features a conversion for cup measurments. Stores conveniently in the refrigerator door. Since butter size varies by location, the ButterMate includes two measuring scales, West Coast and East Coast scales (U.S.). Simply choose a scale and place it in the top of the ButterMate. $6.30
