‘Sauna’ Softens Butter
![]() |
To use, pour hot water (from a kettle or tap) into the base, then place your stick or block of butter on the platform. Cover the butter with the lid to create a sealed environment where steam collects. The steam gently warms the butter from all sides, bringing it to a consistent, soft texture. In minutes, the butter is soft enough for spreading or baking without becoming oily or melted.
Perfect for baking, cooking or simply spreading on toast, this butter softener works with sticks, blocks or small portions. It includes a dedicated butter knife. All parts are dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup.
We found prices ranging from $16 to $20 online. It’s available on Grommet, Amazon and QVC.
User reviews were generally positive, though some noted that it takes too long to boil water and then wait for the butter to soften. However, most said it was much better than using a microwave.
