OK?? Our 3 ferrets would have this destroyed in two seconds if I tried any of that nonsense with them. As usual, I would be wearing the cup, brush and water just like any other time I give them a bath
For those of you who guessed butter melter, you are all correct. BUT I was looking for the product that marketed it as well. That was Toastwell, for their toaster line in the 1940's. It fits right down the middle of the two toast slots. The box does show it being used on a waffle iron as well.
I'm not sure how the heat would have affected the magnets. The ones on this cup are strong but I don't think that it was ever used.
So many of you guessed that it was a butter melter...I guess the next one will have to be harder (he-he)
that is riduculous. ralph nader would have a field day with that one. just imagine what might happen if that butter accidentally fell into the hot slots? there is one word for this: lawsuit!.
In the fairly recent past, didn't I give you a rather graphic
example of applying clarified/drawn butter with a nice
short wooden handled basting brush? Lotsa times in small
mom&pop greasy spoons that's how they butter toast.
