A manual device maximizing application of butter to an ear of corn. The manual device includes a bottom portion, a top portion, and a butter applicator. The bottom portion rests on a support surface, carries the butter, and rotatably carries the ear of corn. The butter applicator is rotatably connected in the bottom portion, maximizes the application of the butter to the ear of corn when the butter applicator is rotated, which in turn rotates the ear of corn. The top portion is optional and when used is operatively connected to the bottom portion, is for maintaining the ear of corn in the bottom portion during rotation, and prevents the butter from splashing during rotation.

A device for buttering an ear of corn having a butter stick platform and a corn rest. The butter stick platform has an upper butter base surface for supporting a butter stick, and a peripheral wall extending downward to a base. A containment wall can surround and be separated laterally from the peripheral wall to provide a trough between the peripheral wall and the containment wall. The corn rest has a corn base having a concave upper surface with openings for placement thereupon of an ear of corn, and a frame having side walls that extend downwardly partly into the trough when the corn rest is in a first position resting upon a stick of butter. As the butter stick melts and is used, the frame rides downward into the trough to maintain contact between the ear of corn and the butter stick.

A spreading device is disclosed which comprises a container comprising a dispensing end and an exterior surface, and at least one gripping or handling surface extending from the container for gripping or handling the spreading device, squeezing or applying pressure against the exterior surface of the flexible container, and causing the dispensing of a spreadable substance out of the dispensing end of the container.
