Cold butter

[Karen2005]

Why does cold butter stick to the knife when buttering hot toast?

(not sure whether this belongs here or in the "how it works" category!)

And tears great big holes in the toast!!!

Shouldn`t this be posted under the "Technology" section? :O)

[Quoi]

because the surface area of the knife is large & smooth & the contact point with the toast is small & brittle?

Sorry, I've since posted this under "Science". (When I first logged on yesterday, the page hadn't loaded properly and the Science category didn't appear for some reason...)
