All I can say is I do the best I can. When you're out some things are
beyond your control, like, the place might bring you the butter out cold.
If you're blind, however minutely, if having to cut from a stick, like it or
not, you'll end up touching the butter. Friends of mine were at some church
gathering a few years back, and whoever made a fuss and wouldn't take from
the stick because my friends touched it. If it's cold, it might well work
out you're not going to be able to spread it evenly. Employ as much finesse
as you can if the butter isn't in packs, but, well, guess it's because I'm
older now, I figure people shouldn't be looking to see and be commenting on
if your butter is spread all over the bread, and evenly! I should think
people would have better things to concern themselves with.

I'm not proud: if it's for me I use my fingers; if it's for somebody else, I
get sighted assistance. We keep the butter softened too, which helps, but I
still get a finger in there. Sometimes I have better luck if I lay the slice
of bread in the palm of one hand and spread with the other; that way the
palm of the hand can feel if I'm hitting all the spots. But sometimes that
doesn't work too well either.

Hi I do the same, I make sure my butter is soft or at room temp. thn I slide
the knife side to side(takes some practice),then up and down, with clean
fingers I make sure it is not thick but usually you can tell by the knife.
I think we all need to find the technique that works for us.

I use the edge of a knife and move it back and forth and go too the sides.

Hi,
This has been bugging me for a while, so I wonder if anyone has
developed their own personalized technique for this.
When I want to spread something on a piece of bread, I face two problems:
1. Without using my hands, I'm not sure how much of the butter, cheese
or whatever I've picked with my knife, or in some cases, my spoon.
2. Even though I have tried putting whatever I want to spread in the
center of the bread and spreading it to the sides (I've read this
technique somewhere on the net), the cheese or butter doesn't get
spread evenly.
How do you guys solve these two problems?
Thanks!
