On July 31, 1790, Samuel Hopkins became the first U.S. patent holder for an improvement in the process of making potash. President George Washington signed the patent along with Attorney General Edmund Randolph and Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson. Since then, there have been a lot of inventions to lessen the kitchen workload for modern day people. But today we will talk about some coolest kitchen inventions which will make you think twice before investing in them. Here is a list of 30 innovative yet not much effective inventions you should know about.
1. Fox Run Butter Spreader
Everyone loves to have a well-buttered corncob once in a while. So, finding a way to do so can be a lifesaver sometimes. The Fox Run Butter Spreader can do some wonder here as far as applying the butter is concerned. You can fill the spreader with quality butter, and then use the plunger to press and get your all-important butter rubbed all over the already cooked corncob. But, if the spreader is made with the sole purpose of not letting your hand dirty, then how will you get the butter into the spreader without using your hand!

2. Butter Mill Butter Dispenser
The butter dispenser squeezes out butter throughout a hole of the dispenser. If you want your butter to be a long as a ribbon then the butter dispenser is a perfect choice. The butter dispenser is very easy to use; you just need to twist the crank after inserting the needed butter into it. The butter will be thin enough to melt right away if put on a hot surface, like on some hot corns or hot potatoes. But not always the coolest wins the competition. The dispenser produces butter ribbons even when you are not pressing hard. To lessen the pressure you will need to pull the crank backward, but this time more carefully as there’s a slight chance that the butter will come out through the back if the crank is pulled out completely with butter remaining inside.

3. Roll N Pour
This invention is supposed to help you pour your drink from the gigantic bottles. The motto behind this invention is to help the feeble muscled children, women, and men to reduce their tendency of spilling.

The main beneficiaries of this product are supposed to be young women but if you want to stop spreading water while pouring from gallon jugs then this product can be an excellent choice for you.
