Designers have created the world’s first knife with a heated blade - which can spread cold butter on a slice of bread without ripping holes in the bread.
The knife, which has a heating element inside the blade, can cover a slice in 30 seconds.
The knife heats to 41.8 degrees Celsius, powered by AA batteries in the handle - after research found that is the optimum temperature to spread butter.

The knife, invented by British baker Warburton, heats to 41.8 degrees Celsius after research found that is the optimum temperature to spread butter
The knife's heating element ensures a constant temperature of 41.8 degrees centigrade, and is powered by two AA batteries in the handle
Designers have created the world's first knife with a heated blade to solve the age old problem of cold butter not spreading properly on bread
A button on the handle activates the battery-operated heating element and a flashing LED indicates it is on.
Researchers created the knife with bread baker Warburtons after a survey found it is the most desired breakfast innovation.
Butter not spreading properly is one of our top five breakfast bugbears along with burnt toast and cold tea.
A poll of 3,000 people revealed 1 per cent of Brits - all of them men - have even resorted to heating the spread with a hair dryer to combat the problem.
A quarter - 28 per cent - put the butter in the microwave, 8 per cent put it on a plate on top of the toaster and 7 per cent heat the knife on the hob. The new knife will perfectly cover a slice in butter in less than 30 seconds.
Stuart Jones, from Warburtons, said: ‘We’ve fine-tuned the knife’s specifications to ensure the speediest heat-up and perfect temperature for spreading and we’re thrilled with how well it works.

‘It made complete sense to develop a tool to help busy Brits achieve the perfect even-spread on their toast, even when using butter straight from the fridge,' says Jones.
‘Baking is a blend of expert craft and science and to make the perfect piece of toast it is essential to use a good-quality loaf that offers butterability.’ The baker has yet to set a date for production.
