1. Really? A separate pan for warming butter? How much cooking are you doing and how much butter are you using that you need this? Or maybe I should ask how much extra disposable income do you have that this is how you choose to spend it? Don't get me wrong, I love the concept. But not for the reasons a home cook who uses a lot of butter would love it. I love it because, well, first, butter. mmmm. You had me at butter. But secondly, I love it because of the idea that I'd so rarely have to wash it. Yeah! If I was using it for butter and only butter --and obviously, I'd be using it often because in this weird scenario I actually purchased a separate pan for warming butter-- then I could use it, leave it out, wipe it with a paper towel, and then use it again the next day. Genius! Especially for someone who doesn't really want to spend money on a new dishwasher yet.
2. A JUMBO butter warming pan? Because a butter warming pan for a cute little size 0 with Italian roots and a Hollywood family (I'm lookin' at you, Giada) is just not big enough. You're gonna need a bigger one. Paula, you are my hero. Because you'll see that skinny girl's 20 ounces of butter warming capacity, and raise her 12 ounces to make an ENTIRE QUART of butter warming capacity. Nicely played.
3. A free mini-Tide-to-go pen with the purchase of 30 gajillion AA batteries. What is going on here? Are these batteries being used in an electric turkey knife to commit a murder, Dexter-style??? Because if so, I don't think a little mini-Tide-to-go pen is gonna do the trick. Or maybe the batteries are for a trimmer for dog's claws... Then maybe a tide-to-go pen is just what you need for the mess on your carpet and Ikea loveseat. In conjunction with a lot of baking soda or salt, of course. Or perhaps the marketing team is imagining the batteries will be used in a cordless blender which will one day fulfill its destiny by creating a delicious smoothie with spinach in it. In that case, this is Einstein-level genius that the rest of us just can't see yet. Because about 3 times out of 4, if I enjoy a smoothie, I end up with a different top on because I had to change the one that got the spot on it. With this combo of batteries and stain-removal device, I could just touch up the spot, and not make an extra piece of laundry for myself. Thank you, Duracell/Tide superpartners. Thank you.

LOL. So spot on funny.
ReplyDeleteI just leave the butter out of the fridge and it gets pretty warm. Why didn't I think to market that idea?
At first I was going to say that, for the most part, in a usual kitchen the 20oz pot doesn't get a whole lot of use other than melting butter or warming a bit of this and that so you can it by the name of it's primary function but, oh, then you had to bring that Deen woman into it.
ReplyDeleteI am a Southern woman, a trained chef and I love butter and bacon just as much as any omnivore with taste-buds does but, please, slapping her name and butter on something does not make it more than just a 1 qt non-stick saucepan. And, for the final record, what genius decided that a vessel used to melt fat--a substance which acts as a non-stick-ifier--needed to be Teflon coated?!
Both of those things could be awesome in my house. Although maybe not used as intended by the manufacture.. Like chocolate in the butter pan maybe? Wanted to stop by and thank you for visiting my place today and sending birthday wishes, it has been an awesome day and not possible without all of you amazing friends on the interwebz xo ThePeachy
ReplyDeletei'm still wondering why the heck anyone would need to purchase a separate pan for warming butter. i'm actually pretty thouroughly confused about this...
ReplyDeletePaula Deen owns the rights to the word butter. Everything she touches has butter smeared on it.
ReplyDeleteAs for Giada...dannnng that woman's got a big head!
that recipe sounds delightful: Warm Butter.
ReplyDeleteA quart sized butter warmer? I'd like to see the bowl of popcorn you'd put that much butter on! (bad sentence structure, sorry)
ReplyDeleteOh my God that was wonderful. Well done, my friend, well done.

Hip slapping funny! A butter pan. I just use the microwave oven for melting butter. Or just leave it on the counter top!
ReplyDeleteWhat a strange combination of items. The reasonable explanation for the Tide pen and the batteries that I can think of is dirty, so I won't share.
ReplyDeleteI am a butter lover, but not THAT much of a butter lover.
Seriously, so much stupid crap they market just to make money. Like all those second, third and fourth sequels to Disney movies.
ReplyDeleteI am a butter lover. But seriously, a separate pan to warm it? BTW, the AA batteries and the Tide pen got me confused.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of butter! I think they should have a whole section of butter accessories. And I would invent my own little accessory too. It would be a sign that would teach people how to put a portion butter on your plate before spreading it on your food. Must you leave your bagel/muffin/bread crumbs all over the butter block? Ewwww. Didn't anyone teach these people manners? - G
ReplyDeleteI'd buy a 24 ounce pan specifically for melting velveeta. But only if it was velveeta orange.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I'm so glad to be cured of my shopping addiction or I'd own both of those pans.
ReplyDeleteI just can't believe that somebody would ever buy a warming pan for butter…I can just use one of the pans I already own to do that! I agree with you on the oddness of the batteries and Tide pen combination… you'd think they'd have a flashlight or something like that to include with their batteries.
ReplyDeleteStain remover with a gazillion batteries? When I saw they were AA my first thought was "well there goes the dildo theory" you see, I hear battery and stain and I think bad stain. But... (not that I own a dildo or anything) don't those "toys" take a bigger battery? And a pencil sized stain remover? What a waste of packaging... Awesome fun post btw. Why haven't I been reading you? Why?
ReplyDeleteI'm still fantasizing about melted butter...
ReplyDeleteI was very encouraged to find this site. I wanted to thank you for this special read. I had a glimpse of it and couldn’t stop reading till I finished. I have already bookmarked you.
