Forget about the world's most magical butter knife and enter into the high tech world of butter spray, on command. 

The biēm Butter Sprayer transforms any stick of butter straight from your fridge into mistable spray that begs for popcorn, toast or a baked potato. 

The gadget, which has already surpassed its Kickstarter goal of $42,000, to $60,333 at the time of writing, works by an accelerometer that knows when to turn the unit on and off to melt the butter, based on touch and the machine's position.

Only the butter you need will be melted, meaning the device won't be filled with buttery liquid the entire time. It claims to remain fresh.

The biēm, with its patent-pending, non-clog nozzle, can be stored in the fridge or on the counter. It's powered via rechargable battery and can be used with cooking oil as well as butter.

Creator Doug Foreman says in a press release, “Until now, there has never been a way to take a solid stick of real butter and turn it into a handheld spray in seconds, period.”

The butter sprayer isn't cheap and costs $99 via the Kickstarter campaign to get the first shipment in September 2016.
