Help! Dropped butter behind the cooker

[Michiru]

As the title says. I have a small gap between the cooker and the wall and stupidly managed to cut a bit of butter off in a way that it jumped off the dish in an arch and landed right behind the cooker.

I can't move the thing and don't know anyone who can.

Tell me how bad it will be? Butter turns into butanoic acid and that stuff stinks like vomit. How long until the smell appears and how long will it last? The piece of butter is about as big as one of those you get in hotels.

hopeful bump?

Hmmmm, can you wrap some kitchen roll around a rod and poke it down to sweep the butter up? If you do it when it's cold it might be easier to get it all??

Something maybe something rougher than foil? You want the butter to stick!

Bit of fabric or kitchen paper?

I tried but nothing can reach it, it literally fell down the back! Just my sodding luck I guess!

I bet there a lot of other food and crumbs down there too, bits you didn't notice dropping. I wouldn't worry about it.
