Now, 'temperature controlled' butter to spread smoothly on your toast

A new dish has been recently invented that can keep the butter at optimum temperature for spreading smoothly on the toast.

David Alfille, boss of Alfille Innovations, came up with the idea after getting frustrated when he could not butter his bread on cold mornings without tearing the slices, the Daily Express reported.

The 54-year-old spent two years getting a design company in Wales to create the 34.99 pounds dish and then had it manufactured it in China.

The 6 by 5 inch machine plugs into the mains and has a temperature dial on the bottom which can be set between 59F and 73F and it has a little plate called a thermo-electric cooler, one side of it gets hot and the other gets cold so sometimes it heats and sometimes it cools.
