I don’t have a butter knife and a few weeks ago I didn’t have a clean normal knife either so I used a spoon to butter my bread and it was a revelation.
Now the back of the spoon is my go to method-I get better coverage and no ripping of the bread.
I made some toast at work the other day and colleagues looked at me as I was weird. I tried to explain the advantages so maybe they will try it for themselves in the privacy of their homes and be converted.
But I thought I’d share on here and hopefully improve people’s packed lunch making experience.

I have seen it on social media, looks better but I forget to try it.

I've always buttered with a spoon, so much better.

Why isn’t it more commonly known?! Or is it just me that didn’t know it?

I do this with pineapple jam as I'm visually impaired and it's a pain due to the colour to spread. Mum suggested a spoon and it's so much easier

Ive done that for years. As did a friend. We found out by accident about each other’s “little secret”.

You’re not wrong. A spoon is brilliant for buttering sandwiches on a large scale.

I used to work in a sandwich bar and when we had party platters to prepare we used spoons every time.

I often use a spoon, like you say, much better than a knife
