Torn toast,  clumps of uneven butter and  dry edges and are just a few of the annoyances associated with trying to spread cold butter straight from the fridge on to toast in the mornings … but this could be a thing of the past as the UK’s  favourite family baker has today launched the world’s first prototype heated butter knife.

Voted as ‘Most Desired Breakfast Innovation’ in a poll of just under 3,000 people, Warburtons has worked with leading British designers to design The Warburtons Toastie Knife in order to solve this common breakfast-time dilemma. Fully functional and battery operated, the Warburtons Toastie Knife is designed to help time-poor Brits slide through fridge-cold butter with perfection and provide toast lovers with a fuss-free butter-spreading experience in under 30 seconds.
