Either way, one thing’s for sure — the butter curler is a tiny reminder of how creative kitchens used to be.

Q: Is a butter curler still useful today?
Yes! It’s great for butter, cheese, and even soft chocolate shavings for desserts.

Q: Where can I buy one?
Vintage stores, eBay, and even some specialty kitchenware shops still carry them.

It works best with firm butter, but can be used on any chilled spread.
