Rock-hard butter b’gone! This sprayer transforms a stick into mist in seconds (Update)

Add as a preferred source on Google

Like the convenience of sprayable butter, but hate all the fake compounds and chemical propellants found in sprayable products? If so, we’ve got good news for you. There’s a new kitchen gadget in the works that gives you the best of both worlds, allowing you to enjoy the convenience of butter mist without compromising on taste.

Introducing the biēm butter sprayer, the first-ever butter sprayer that transforms a real stick of butter into liquid spray in just a matter of seconds. To use the sprayer, insert a stick of butter (your choice) in the top of the device. While holding the sprayer by its silicon handle, aim onto the food of choice or object in a steady motion and in just seconds, butter transforms into spray thanks to heat and air. The biēm melts the butter at just 95 degrees without overheating.

This butter sprayer is also built with an accelerometer that detects when the user has picked up the device, allowing for an easy on/off option. The biēm is designed with a special patent-pending nozzle in order to prevent clogging — this allows for proper portion control, cutting about half the calories normally consumed. Because the user can insert any type of butter, this eliminates the worry of consuming butter with any artificial ingredients or chemicals.

“While there are other products on the market that claim to be butter sprays, none of them use real butter. They are all using either artificial or flavored oil and typically are chocked full of other artificial ingredients. Not to mention dangerous flammable propellants.  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,” said creator Doug Foreman to PR Newswire.

The possibilities of using the biēm are endless — from steamed vegetables to buttering popcorn without the sogginess. Users can also use other alternatives to butter such as coconut oil or olive oil. The biēm, which was recently featured on Shark Tank, starts shipping November 30 and costs $129.

Apple’s next home robot could turn its screen to follow you, but it might cost you $1,000 to do so

Apple HomeView feature

Remember the hopping Pixar lamp that famously squashes the letter “I” in the studio logo at the beginning of almost every Pixar movie? Apple may be building something similar, except this Pixar-inspired device won't actually hop or roll around your room. 

Instead, its motorized robotic arm could swivel the screen around (basically moving it left to right, or vice versa, on an axis). According to a new report from The Information, the Cupertino giant is working on a larger, robotic version of its recently-announced HomeView smart display, and it might arrive as soon as next year.

Apple’s recently unveiled HomeView smart display could also function as a home security camera, according to a new finding in its software. The device, which already has a built-in camera for FaceTime calls and facial recognition, could supposedly use the same hardware for motion detection, live streaming, and video recording through HomeKit Secure Video.

The feature was spotted by a Reddit user in the settings files of HomeView Software 27.2 (via TheVerge). Apple hasn’t officially announced anything about it yet, but the references suggest there are going to be a few more uses for the built-in camera.
