Don’t Toss Butter Wrappers! 8 Clever Ways to Use Them

We’re all about helping you get your butter out of the wrapper and into your Butterie butter dish—but what about the wrapper itself? Instead of tossing it, why not put it to good use?
These buttery papers may seem disposable, but they’re actually full of possibilities. With a little creativity, you can transform them into something surprisingly handy.
Here are 8 clever ways to upcycle butter wrappers—because every bit of buttery goodness deserves its moment to shine!
1. Grease Your Bakeware
Need to butter up a pan for brownies or a cake? Skip the stick and use your butter wrappers! They’re already coated with just the right amount of butter, so you can grease your pans without any mess.
2. Add Flavor to Sautéing
The butter residue on the wrapper is perfect for adding a touch of flavor to veggies, eggs, or even meats. Toss the wrapper in your pan for a quick burst of buttery goodness—it’s like a secret ingredient!
3. Keep Dough from Sticking
Rolling out pie crusts or cookie dough? Use butter wrappers to prevent sticking without adding extra flour. They work like a charm and keep things buttery smooth.
4. Separate Your Treats
Store cookies, brownies, or other baked goods without them sticking together by layering butter wrappers between them. It’s a handy, eco-friendly way to protect your treats.
5. Condition Your Kitchenware
Polish up wooden cutting boards, rolling pins, or cast iron pans with butter wrappers. The butter residue helps condition the surface, leaving it smooth and ready for your next creation.
6. Prevent Stickiness in Measuring Cups
Tired of scraping honey, syrup, or molasses out of your measuring cups? Before you pour, rub the inside with a butter wrapper! The buttery residue acts as a natural barrier, helping sticky ingredients slide out effortlessly. Say goodbye to the mess and hello to hassle-free baking!
7. Wrap and Save
Use butter wrappers to wrap small portions of leftover cheese, herbs, or other kitchen staples. They’re reusable and a simple way to reduce waste while keeping your ingredients fresh!
8. Compost It
If your butter wrappers are made from parchment paper, they’re compost-friendly! Add them to your compost pile and let them break down naturally—perfect for a zero-waste kitchen.
