It's a little known fact that butter actually encourages mould growth in marmalade. So every time you spread toast with butter, then dip the same knife in the marmalde, you're pushing the marmalade into early expiry.
Marmalade Slices would look rather like cheese slices, with peelable individual
packaging. They are stored in the freezer to save them going sticky, and keep them solid (the fridge is too warm). When you want marmalade on toast, simply unwrap a slice, and place it on your warm toast. The slice melts on the warm bread within seconds, and possibly even cools down toast that is too hot to eat.
Perhaps each slice could even have a layer of butter frozen on the bottom...instant toast!

This reminds me of my idea for sliced soup... |
|
| |
You can get single portions of jams and marmalades, but this is a goodie. It won't work for croissant's though - you need a good dollop for those. |
|
| |
Good point...maybe a range of sizes and shapes could be offered. |
|
| |
At my house, we have a rule about utensils and condiments. The butterknife is used for buttering, and a separate spoon is used to scoop out the jelly, jam, or marmalade. Then spread with the dirtied butterknife, but only after all the buttering has been done. |

[baked] but with Cream Cheese. See link. |
|
| |
I believe thats half-baked then, krelnik. |
|
| |
Ah correct, but the Cream Cheese item has a link to a [baked] version for peanut butter. Baked and a half? |
|
| |
I think it would be best to link the link in cream cheese rings to this page then, and then render it baked. Good work, you'll make corporal for this. |
|
| |
I consider this idea wholly different than cream cheese rings. |
|
| |
Marmalade is one of those things where you actually could have slices and it would work (as opposed to, say, preserves or jam). |
|
| |
I guess I'm biased being the 'inventor' of Marmalade slices, but here's my two cents... |
|
| |
I think this counts an independent idea to Cream cheese\peanut butter\whatever slices as the core innovation here is a combination of frozen product for ease of storage and opening with a hot product to melt said frozen product. To store in a fridge or cupboard, any product would need to be very heavily processed (to me, a 'slice' of peanut butter sounds unappetising...anyone heard the joke about slices of badly -mixed custard\gravy?). |
|
| |
Why not have the marmalade in a squirt bottle? then you
can just squirt it onto your bread and then spread it. |
|
| |
I've never had a marmalade that was stiff enough to form into a disk or ring and, waiting for them to thaw is not a option for me. I would think the texture would be something akin to rubber inner tubes until they thawed. I'll keep digging it out of the can. Besides, it gets eaten so fast that it never has a chance to get moldy. |

Rods - have you not been watching Adam Hart-Davis then? |

//possibly even cools down toast that is too hot to eat// |
|
| |
Never been that much of a problem if you ask me. |
|
| |
[XSarenkaX] Absolutely! So do we. |
|
| |
[bagel]Surely that's easier than all this
palaver? Just use another knife, you
lazy, slatternly person! |
|
| |
//At my house, we have a rule about utensils and condiments.// |
|
| |
Hey! us too. It goes like this: "Ensure that utensil is of correct size to fit in neck of jar. Remember: repeated ramming with serving spoon does not stretch jar or shrink spoon.
Once sufficient condimentary delights have been extracted, on no account should you forget to lick utensil clean for use in next condiment otherwise mustard streaks in horseradish or vice versa or similar may occur." :p |
|
| |
Idea's a good one except..except, how thick are these 'ere slices? I like my marmelade piled high, almost teetering 'pon the toast. 'Spose you could stack 'em, huh? |
