I use this knife which came with the toast rack and a jar of marmite. We don't use the toast rack (two of us usually and 4 slice toaster), so we got rid of it eventually. The blade came out of the handle and the Marmite sign has come off, but I've since glued the blade back in (just need to wash off the residue but been lazy).

Where can I get one? I never knew I needed this so much...

[–] PhreakyByNature@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

I got my set years back reasonably priced in a supermarket. Now you have to get it on eBay. I think I prefer it to the current scalpel they sell. The proper knife is good day in day out and the silicone one is great for cleanup I'm sure, but I have generic small silicone utensils for that.

I suggested to my wife that she should use a different house for marmite.

[–] edent@lemmy.one 5 points 2 years ago

I use the blade of the knife for the butter, and then use the handle of the knife for the marmite.

Foolproof!

[–] jakwithoutac@feddit.uk 5 points 2 years ago

Butter straight to marmite is a societal norm. Contaminating the butter with marmite is a capital offence.

Combine them into a single mega pot of buttery marmite, save valuable time and cutlery.

[–] CauldronCat@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

@serfraser seriously, was has no one invented this yet?

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Close enough.

Can confirm this is delicious

[–] CauldronCat@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I've made something similar at home as a last resort after running out of butter, but while I like my pb crunchy, I'm not so much a fan of crunchy marmite.

[–] riskable@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I believe it is the fact that you like Marmite that makes you a savage. Not the knife.

[–] olegreeneyes@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I used to hate Marmite, for years, my wife however loves the stuff.
This was a source of minor friction until we had kids and I had to start preparing toast with the “vile paste” for them.

Then it became a source of humor as each year (on my birthday), I would earnestly try a bite during their breakfast.

After a few years, it didn’t seem so bad.. then I actually started to (gasp) like the stuff.

Now I love it!

I keep a separate knife stabbed into the ground in the roundabout down the road.

[–] Gamers_Mate@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I have Vegemite which is much better not your British knock off that was invented 21 years earlier.

[–] Spudger@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago

If you're an Aussie that thinks Marmite is bad then you've probably only tried the bottled turd that is made under licence by Sanitarium Foods. It's truly awful. If you want the real deal then you need to buy Our Mate.

Thankfully the days of buying under-the-counter genuine Marmite in Aus are over and I no longer feel like someone buying illegal substances.

Mrs Spudger is an Australian and she eats Promite. It's even more disgusting than Vegemite. The latter is just one of a number of inferior Aussie knock-offs such as Tim Tams.

I'm British and only tried Vegemite semi-recently but it really is much better than Marmite.

[–] Repulsa@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I've had both, tastes pretty much the same to me but seems to spread easier

[–] P_Nuts@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

I’m more of a marmalade man myself, but I use a teaspoon for the initial marmalade extraction to avoid getting butter in the jar.

[–] CauldronCat@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

@Fassmacher Depends on how dirty your knife is. I make sure to whipe all the butter off on the toast before drlving into the Marmite.

[–] ScrubAmtiskaw@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Yes, i keep a separate knife by the door in case someone tries to bring that shite home.

[–] unfnknblvbl@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I am in disbelief of the sheer savagery on display from OP.

I mean honestly, Marmite?

[–] Rain3h@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

I use a spoon because I'm special.

[–] juniper@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago

I prefer Bovril.

[–] chaosppe@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

You'd be locked in an asylum for that type of behavior. I always wash the knife after buttering before adding marmite.

[–] Scirocco@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Per my brit gf:

Yes. But most people don't. However, if you use the same knife, you'll get butter in the Marmite, and because marmite isn't refrigerated that gets really gross

In my humble opinion, the problem would be solved with the use of Vegemite, the superior mite.

[–] VerifiablyMrWonka@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I want to downvote your position, because you're wrong, but I wont in favour of fostering *mite relations.

Bovril though can GTFO.

[–] nude@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago

*mite relations are important.

Id gladly eat Marmite toast with you in a celebration of *mite solidarity.

Then ill go back to vegemite though

[–] sideone@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

superior mite

Not as good as dynamite

[–] Gamers_Mate@kbin.social -1 points 2 years ago

Fellow aussie and fan of vegemite I see.

[–] aeternum@kbin.social -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Agreed. Vegemite or GTFO

[–] OddlySo@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I've thought that too my whole life but I recently came across this Aussiemite stuff. It has a very similar taste to Vegemite but spreads a bit easier I think. I'm actually thinking I now prefer it to my beloved Vegemite. https://aussiemite.net/

Definitely same knife for both pots.
