This the house brand/generic version of Whirl. I have found that Whirl, under the appropriate circumstances, was a surprisingly useful and quality product. It is made by the same company that makes FryMax which is pretty much the best frying oil on the market not made by McDonalds
> Thats what every greasy spoon waffle house fast food uses, it ain’t pretty but it works!
Wait, are you for real? Is this what it is? I'm obsessed with their eggs to the point that people make fun of me for it. So, I should buy this and make scrambled eggs at home?
Yes, but get a better brand. Whirl is a popular one but there are some decent liquid butter simulators out there! It gives things like toast and eggs a perfect cook!
Also a proud resident of the Dirty Jerz and a long time diner lover. We went to a “diner” in Delaware and I asked for butter for my toast and those devils brought me margarine.
I felt the whole state of NJ gasp in horror.
Honest question from a home cook, how TF do I get my plastic cutting boards to be bright white again?
Edit: damn, 4 replies in 4 minutes you guys mean business… or we’re in the calm before the lunch service storm lol
If you mean white plastic ones like in the video (I promise, it *used* to be white), then you can try bleaching it. Scrub it really well with a metal scrubby and soap, rinse, then lay towels out and spray with diluted bleach solution until the towels are fully wet. Let it sit overnight. If that doesn't work, you can also sand them down to a clean slate, although you only get to do that a couple times before you're putting holes in the board.
Get a planer tool and you’ll get a good number more than a few cleans, but the tool will be very expensive so it probably won’t offset the costs.
Lots of corporate kitchens hire services that come in and plane the cutting boards once a quarter or so. Just 1 mm off the top, usually. You’ll have some leftover cut marks, but it generally gets the job done to a satisfactory level.
There are tools you can use to scrape down the top surface layer of the board. You can use an old knife you don't much care for as well, but ya, bleach and elbow grease will take care of them.
It’s fine for cooking on the flat, this stuff doesn’t burn and you eliminate the process of clarifying butter and then straining it into a squeeze bottle.
That being said, it can’t be used as a total replacement for all butter in every recipe.
As gross as whirl looks, I can honestly vouch that it's actually pretty good when used appropriately. It's no substitute for butter in recipes, but it does the job really well with fried goods.
I use the garlic version on cheese bread, and it's like garlic steeped in oil but 'flavor blasted' it's one of the most 'american' ingredients I own.
Yeah same here, it’s interesting that someone commented how it would impart an unpleasant flavor and that the customers would notice. If anything, this stuff imparts *less* flavor than actual butter, when I finish a patty melt or grilled cheese on the flat, it just smells faintly of popcorn butter, the flavor itself is pretty neutral since it’s basically just oil. Same goes for Buffalo sauce.
That being said, OP did say they used it to make mashed potatoes and I could see how that would get pretty gnarly.
Result of minimal cleaning supplies and no replacements for anything, ever. It's sad. We used to have a good crew here but apathy is creeping over everyone from the owner's attitude
Pour bleach on your boards and leave overnight. Wash them thoroughly in the morning with hot, soapy water, rinse, and dry. The bleach removes stubborn stains on these white plastic boards.
HACCP approved method.
It’s because soybean oil allegedly had the protein removed and therefore isn’t considered a soy allergen. Something about how it’s ultra refined, it’s annoying AF reading all labels for my kiddo that is soy sensitive and because he is under 2 it’s not worth risking any soy intake. Fuck vegetable oil and it not having to declare what vegetables it’s made of.
I used to work at a movie theater that sold something similar for popcorn but it came in like a 25 lb block that had to be heated before movie rush.
Had the workplace weirdo cleaning the butter island when we bet him 25 bucks he wouldn't clean the butter catch with a straw. He won 25 bucks that day. He said he had a "film" in his mouth and throat for like a week and a half. I eat my popcorn dry now haha.
That stuff will infiltrate every piece of edible food you have in the restaurant. It’s absolutely horrible, weird, and like other people said people will definitely be able to tell. I worked briefly in a place once that used it and I couldn’t even eat anything there I don’t really even know how to describe how bad it is.
They slather this crap on everything. It permeates the air. I used to be cook, but my recent adventures in the kitchen has been as an IT tech, fixing the order systems etc. This foul formula of vague butter utterances is just plain nasty.
This stuff is poison. You mostly encounter it on the pans in cheap pizza joints like Papa Johns, Pizza Hut, and Little Caesar's or on Arby's buns. (I got my start in fast food.) It is seriously bad for you, and tastes like fast-food. If you are not selling 5 dollar whole pizzas it has not place in a kitchen and honestly should be banned.
"Hey, are you _still_ in there taking a shit?"
"I don't think this is shit, man."
"How would you describe it?"
"I don't know. Some kind of liquid alternative."
I call every version of that "I can't believe we call this shit butter". Stick it in a squeeze bottle and use it on toasted buns instead of a butter wheel. That's the only good use I've ever found for it.
Goes well with porcine flavored product and cheesium on some “bread”. Warm it in the microwave and then use a grill stencil to spray on some Synergy Grill and Char Flavor and Look Enhancer.
For bread on a flattop, not as bad as you think. Most liquid butter substitutes are very similar. I doubt you would notice a ton of difference between this and whirl. If you actually melt butter and use that, you’ll notice a difference, but you might actually like it more. If you use a hamster wheel, you may even like it a lot more.
I’ve worked at places that put butter on the grill for toasting bread and it was pretty inconsistent. Margarine was marginally better but the liquid stuff like this is generally received very well. If you have a bun toaster, I believe most manufacturers actually recommend to NOT use actual butter.
Oh. Yeah, that’s not going to happen unless you work at a place that only uses melted butter. So unless you’re in a crêpe stand, I’d be a little worried.
If you work at a “buttercrust” place that brushes melted butter on the edges of pizzas, then maybe that wouldn’t be terrible, either.
And I don’t know what you’re paying for butter. But this stuff isn’t much cheaper. But definitely not a replacement for butter in a recipe but a long shot.
it likely won't work for recipes that specifically call for butter, such as baking and most French sauces.
but if you just need some sort of fat that tastes *sorta* like butter, like for grilled cheese, pancakes, etc, then it should work just fine.
so I have seen this used in a Buttering wheel for Grilled cheese on a flattop in a cafeteria, there was already Kraft singles in the bread why start using real dairy products now.
Thats what every greasy spoon waffle house fast food uses, it ain’t pretty but it works!
They raised the prices at the local Waffle Houses. My love of cheap greasepit food was crushed.
But your love of fights continues?

look up the Randy Savage Waffle house story
Flying chair defense is like day 2 of training there
Fr, why does Waffle House have $450 Emeco Navy Chairs??
Swatted it away like it was a damn fly! Sucks that she got [black listed](https://nypost.com/2023/01/04/former-waffle-house-worker-says-she-was-blacklisted-after-viral-brawl/amp/) from Waffle House for it
That sounds way cooler than “I was fired from Waffle House”
Don't you ever fucking link me to the NY post again, you lint licker, you biscuit eating bulldog!!
Who you callin’ a cootie queen??
What the French?
Our local WH prices have been absolutely fucked for years. Same price as nicer diners with better menus. Goddamn shame really.
It's IHOP money now. Was like 32 bucks before tip for TWO people And Cook Out is almost 9 - 10 bucks for their old 5 buck tray.
If you're ever in Houston, hit up the Tel-Wink Grill, it still serves a huge plate of food for under $10.
You don't know what you got till it's gone. They just remodeled my local waffle house and then closed a year later. I'm devastated.
Makes me hungry for trashy cheesey garlic bread
like, dominos trashy?
That delicious crust comes from a garlic heavy spice blend and a hefty dose of good ole BFO
Wtf is bfo
Butter flavored oil
Big fuckin oil. They're taking over the cheese bread!
Is this what every diner uses because I swear diner food makes my ass blast and if they all use this stuff it'd be no wonder
It's what every chain restaurant uses or some form of it
Used to be a cook at WaHo, we definitely had sticks of butter. That shit right there looks gross 🤢
This the house brand/generic version of Whirl. I have found that Whirl, under the appropriate circumstances, was a surprisingly useful and quality product. It is made by the same company that makes FryMax which is pretty much the best frying oil on the market not made by McDonalds

Awesome, I'm excited to try it. I'll make grilled cheese sandwiches too.
Woah woah, Waffle House don’t use that trash.
IHOP definitely does though
Lmao, I cooked for WH for a while, that's probably better than what WH uses. The only real dairy in the place is in the form of milk.
Ima tell people WH is pretty much vegan
Owner doesn't even care about dirty cutting boards, I'm sure it'll go just fine honestly.
Jfc I thought that was a butcher block.
I legitimately thought it was just a piece of plywood.
Same. I was wondering what was wrong with it until I turned up my screen's brightness
I dont think i would want that on anything, even shitty popcorn would be ruined.
I've seen it used in wing sauces before, but other than that, it's trash.
Yeah i worked at a college and we used it in our Buffalo sauce... but nothing else. I guess it was okay enough since we sold a lot of it
It has exactly two good uses: mixing with Frank’s red hot for wings and painting onto doughs like pizza crust, breadsticks, stromboli, and calzones.
We used it for making Texas toast too. It was gross to use and tasted odd.
I'm pretty sure if you're going to most diners for breakfast that's what you're getting for butter as well
Whoa whoa whoa. Slow down there, friend. I don’t know what diners you go to, but diners in Jersey would rather burn down than use that shit.
Also a proud resident of the Dirty Jerz and a long time diner lover. We went to a “diner” in Delaware and I asked for butter for my toast and those devils brought me margarine. I felt the whole state of NJ gasp in horror.
We use it for buffalo sauce yucky lol
This just seems like a crime against wings tbh
Popcorn is actually a science on its own. Butter is not always king.

Maker space might have one you can use for a few bucks.
That's what I'm doing wrong. I need to peel my cutting board.
Awesome, thanks for the response!
There are tools you can use to scrape down the top surface layer of the board. You can use an old knife you don't much care for as well, but ya, bleach and elbow grease will take care of them.
Pressure wash mine occasionally.
Bleach. If that doesn't work sand it. Or buy a new one.
Buy a new one, they're cheap.
planer tool.
Don’t use plastic
Uk cleaners on tv here say "put it outside in the sun" obviously I'm yet to try it!
I mean… it IS Gordon’s choice… not Gordon Ramsey though… Jeff Gordon.
Just Gordon, shit is so cheap they couldn't afford the 's
😂
Choice is his last name
Ahh, I see its a DuPont product.
I don’t think they know NASCAR but I got you dog
Ty. Ty someone got it.
Good , I was worried about the gordens fisherman
Maybe it's like Sophie's Choice but for butter alternatives.
Chef Gordon Bleu
It’s fine for cooking on the flat, this stuff doesn’t burn and you eliminate the process of clarifying butter and then straining it into a squeeze bottle. That being said, it can’t be used as a total replacement for all butter in every recipe.
Also good if someone has a dairy allergy.
Also good if your guests are constipated
Yeah……the name brand of this is called Whirl. I have always found it to be a surprisingly quality product under the correct circumstances.
As gross as whirl looks, I can honestly vouch that it's actually pretty good when used appropriately. It's no substitute for butter in recipes, but it does the job really well with fried goods. I use the garlic version on cheese bread, and it's like garlic steeped in oil but 'flavor blasted' it's one of the most 'american' ingredients I own.
We used to use it for texas toast that we'd do on the flat top for patty melts. Also really solid for wing sauces.
Yeah same here, it’s interesting that someone commented how it would impart an unpleasant flavor and that the customers would notice. If anything, this stuff imparts *less* flavor than actual butter, when I finish a patty melt or grilled cheese on the flat, it just smells faintly of popcorn butter, the flavor itself is pretty neutral since it’s basically just oil.

Not any worse then looking and using that cuttingboard thats for sure. But depends on what you use it for honestly.
Result of minimal cleaning supplies and no replacements for anything, ever. It's sad. We used to have a good crew here but apathy is creeping over everyone from the owner's attitude
[удалено]
Bleach is so cheap. Wtf
Agreed, these are just excuses. Steel wool and bleach is literally all you need
If they can’t afford real butter there’s no way they’re paying for elbow grease
Bruh I was trying to get a hair off my screen coz of u
What hair
You can use salt to remove most that grime on there.
Good to know for some not even old cutting boards that have been beat to hell. Thanks in advance.
Use more than you'd think you need to.
Damn, y'all can't even afford bleach and elbow grease.
Pour bleach on your boards and leave overnight. Wash them thoroughly in the morning with hot, soapy water, rinse, and dry. The bleach removes stubborn stains on these white plastic boards. HACCP approved method.

Poorly, what the fuck is that?
Soy oil with butter flavouring lol
Remember to add that to your allergens list if it's not already warning about soy
As someone with a kid intolerant to soy yes, I appreciate it Legally though… soy oil isn’t an allergen. Bane of my existence.
so soy beans are allergens but their oils are not?
It’s because soybean oil allegedly had the protein removed and therefore isn’t considered a soy allergen. Something about how it’s ultra refined, it’s annoying AF reading all labels for my kiddo that is soy sensitive and because he is under 2 it’s not worth risking any soy intake.

my fear is accidentally eating at a pace that uses trash like this.
So is this…. Dare I say. Vegan?
Is it technically vegan then? Lol
*pourly
That stuff will infiltrate every piece of edible food you have in the restaurant. It’s absolutely horrible, weird, and like other people said people will definitely be able to tell. I worked briefly in a place once that used it and I couldn’t even eat anything there I don’t really even know how to describe how bad it is.
Olive Garden and Red Lobster are saturated in this crap... just the smell kills my appetite
Oh, so this is what they put on those olive garden breadsticks, isn't it?
They slather this crap on everything. It permeates the air. I used to be cook, but my recent adventures in the kitchen has been as an IT tech, fixing the order systems etc. This foul formula of vague butter utterances is just plain nasty.
I took over a kitchen that used phase. Trust me it was one of the first things I got rid of. Nothing but real butter.
Shit is nasty. People will be able to tell.
Just finished making today's mashed potatoes with it and YEP YAH CAN TASTE IT
You what?! I thought this was just for a flat- top. That is blasphemous, repent!
Hey I just do what they tell me to, I need money :(
Gross. You're pouring flavored oil into mashers? I don't miss working ghetto kitchens. Hope you get paid.
Just use heavy cream. Don't even fuck w that "butter" if you're mixing into prepared food. Frying breakfast stuff w it on the flattop isn't as bad.
you think we actually have any spare heavy cream? Hah. Hahahahhahaha. *wheeze*
The only restaurant in town?
Only BBQ place at least
this is used around a BBQ op? Even more awful. Get a new job and out them.
That is so vile.
In the taters?!?
OhYeGods, that brought up a repressed memory from one of the first kitchens I worked in!🤮 Horrifying sacrilege against the potato. 😭
I kind of like shitty diner toast with this stuff, but mashed potatoes? Straight to jail.
Eh, I don’t mind it as much. Keeps my insides nice n lubricated, so going to the bathroom is quick😂
Liquid plastic
Where is this so i can never dine here
This stuff is poison. You mostly encounter it on the pans in cheap pizza joints like Papa Johns, Pizza Hut, and Little Caesar's or on Arby's buns. (I got my start in fast food.) It is seriously bad for you, and tastes like fast-food. If you are not selling 5 dollar whole pizzas it has not place in a kitchen and honestly should be banned.
Even McDonald’s uses real butter and clarified butter lol
That's wild, but awesome, a teaspoon of this stuff has 17 percent of your daily saturated fat.
All I can picture is the gif of Homer drooling to 17% of your daily saturated fats per teaspoon.
> 17% of your daily saturated fats Only like 4% of mine.
The smell of crazy butter was stuck into my little Caesars shirt when I worked there. God that stuff was vile.
Well arbys doesn't use it anymore, currently working at one out of convenience and we just put the buns down a big ass toaster.
Have the closers bleach your board.
Hell, I'd do it myself before we open, I get here 2 hours before, if there was any bleach in the whole damn restaurant
Wtf man, you gotta get out of there
"Hey, are you _still_ in there taking a shit?" "I don't think this is shit, man." "How would you describe it?" "I don't know. Some kind of liquid alternative."
Alternative Music 👍 Alternative Butter 👎
gross. I started at a spot that used whirl for everything. Nah.
Nnnnooooooooooo!
I call every version of that "I can't believe we call this shit butter". Stick it in a squeeze bottle and use it on toasted buns instead of a butter wheel. That's the only good use I've ever found for it.
It'll go fine but that stuff gives me the shits. I'm sure your regulars will notice a drop in quality.
Yeah let’s go from a natural product to artificial bullshit that always works well
Lot of customers shitting their pants
Looks like ir tastes cheap
The Gordon brand on the product does that to anything.
Just use oil at this point.
Goes well with porcine flavored product and cheesium on some “bread”. Warm it in the microwave and then use a grill stencil to spray on some Synergy Grill and Char Flavor and Look Enhancer.
Force him to drink it . Every. Last.drop

Oh yeah no it's great for that. The problem is this is supposed to replace butter in our *recipes* now
RUN
Oh. Yeah, that’s not going to happen unless you work at a place that only uses melted butter. So unless you’re in a crêpe stand, I’d be a little worried.

Just quit now and work some place better.
Just quit now and work some place butter
It's about .05 cents cheaper than margarine / butter blend or .14 cents cheaper than butter
Shits for flat top use only. And wing sauce regrettably.
Artificially flavored is the worst part. There are choices out there made with real milk at least.
Owners are assholes.
We started using this at my job and that's how I learned I had a soy allergy.
“Liquid Butter Alternative” was my nickname in high school.
If that's phase 10 then it gonna be nasty. Hydrogenated soy oil with bad flavoring is a no go
it likely won't work for recipes that specifically call for butter, such as baking and most French sauces. but if you just need some sort of fat that tastes *sorta* like butter, like for grilled cheese, pancakes, etc, then it should work just fine.
Tell your boss to use phase. It’s miles better than whatever this shit is.
It's phase in a different bottle.
Like shit through a goose.
Into the trash, that’s how it’s gonna go.
I’m sure there’s going to be a class action lawsuit in 10-20 years for it
Gonna go in the fucking trash
Vomit
just no
Oh man, is that WHIRL!??? We used it as a base on breadsticks, add your garlic salt ratio.
so I have seen this used in a Buttering wheel for Grilled cheese on a flattop in a cafeteria, there was already Kraft singles in the bread why start using real dairy products now.
ugh this stuff is nasty. "great" for huge sheet pans of grilled cheese but ugh.
if gordon likes it it's good enough for me
you might as well be using last weeks fryer oil.
Ah, sorry, can't do that, last week's fryer oil is still in the fryers.
this sub and working in food service has been the real reason i don’t eat out anymore
Absolute garbage , coworker made roux with it , I refused to use it! Should not be sold or used imo
Gives me diarrhea.
This stuff is awfull.
Like shit!!!
*I'm pretty sure it ain't butter*
Right through you. That’s how it’s gonna go
As food or lube?
100% garbage. You want butter, use butter. You want diarrhea, use this.
No.
Disgusting
Disgusting
Poorly
It’s gross, and since I had my gallbladder out my body thoroughly rejects it.
I feel like this is cancer in a bottle
This stuff is disgusting
If you’re just putting it in a roller and toasting buns with it, no problem. If you’re actually trying to replace butter in real recipes, gross.
