The Magical Butter Filter is an essential tool for those who enjoy making their own infusions and tinctures. This filter is specifically designed to work with the Magical Butter machine, a popular appliance used for making herbal infusions and botany-related products. The filter is made of a fine mesh nylon material that effectively strains out plant material, leaving behind a smooth and pure liquid. This allows users to create high-quality infusions without the hassle of manually straining out the plant matter. The main purpose of the Magical Butter Filter is to remove the plant particles from the infused liquid. The fine mesh prevents any unwanted residue from entering into the final product, resulting in a pure, clean and flavorful infusion.

Joe Manganiello finds out he's descended from slaves and uncovers a mystery on Finding Your Roots
The True Blood and Magic Mike star's genealogy traces his roots from the sub-Saharan Africa to the Armenian genocide and WWII Germany.

Formerly a senior editor at Out magazine, his work has appeared on NewNowNext, Queerty, Rolling Stone, and The New Yorker. He was also the first author signed to Phoebe Robinson's Tiny Reparations imprint. He met Oprah once.
Published on January 15, 2023For anyone, taking a deep dive into your family roots can turn up a lot of surprises, not all of them welcome. Finding Your Roots on PBS had that in mind when they contacted Joe Manganiello to see if he wanted to opt out of his episode—something it rarely does.
Manganiello's lineage is full of more dramatic twists and turns than the final season of True Blood, but he went through with his episode and he and host Henry Louis Gates even presented a special screening of it in Los Angeles, a first for the series. Watch his reaction to "meeting" one of his unknown ancestors in the exclusive clip above.
"If I have a short list of all-time greatest hits, Joe Manganiello's paternal ancestry is on that list," Gates told Rolling Stone.

Well, let's start with the maternal side. Manganiello's great-grandmother Terviz "Rose" Darakjian was basically a superhero, surviving the Armenian genocide after her husband and seven of her eight children were murdered in front of her in 1915.
"It's virtually impossible that I exist," Manganiello told Rolling Stone.
Rose escaped with the eighth child, an infant, strapped to her back, swam across a river to escape death marches, only for her baby to drown by the time she got to the other side. She lived in a cave before she was picked up by German officers and taken to a camp, where she was impregnated by one of the officers.
Manganiello had known that his great-grandmother was a survivor of the Armenian genocide and his great-grandfather was a German officer, but he had never been able to find out his identity. Until Finding Your Roots. That officer's name was Karl Wilhelm Beutinger, and he already had a wife and three kids back in Germany, one of whom—his eldest son, Manganiello's great uncle—grew up to be a Nazi SS officer during World War II.
"You have to take the good with the bad," Manganiello said. "And there's some of that with history. I think there's a tendency to say, 'I'm so proud that my ancestors were on the right side of history,' but that's not you — that's somebody else."
And now the paternal side. After Manganiello took a DNA test, he found out that he's both 100 percent that bitch and 7 percent Sub-Saharan African.
"Sub-Saharan African means that basically you're descended from slavery, as it pertains to the United States, and I didn't know that's what it meant until I was on the show," Manganiello said.
The actor's fifth great-grandfather was Plato Turner, a man born in Africa and brought to the United States and enslaved as a child. He later became a free man and joined the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, fighting against the British. There's a monument dedicated to him in Plymouth, Mass.
"It's so rare to think that you'd have freed slaves fighting for the Colonies," Manganiello said. "You fight for the freedom and the promise that all men are created equal, and then a hundred years later there's the Civil War? To think of how backwards this whole thing went…."
Manganiello's great-grandparents were an interracial couple, William Henry Cuter, a Black man, and Nellie Alton, a white woman, who wed in 1887 in Rhode Island — interracial marriage wouldn't be legal across the country for another 80 years. As a result of this union, Nellie's parents, Manganiello's great-great grandparents, disowned her.
"I'm descended from survivors," Manganiello said, noting that though the revelations of his family history are shocking, he feels like Finding Your Roots handed him a pair of glasses after all these years. "All of a sudden I can see myself clearly for the first time."
Joe Manganiello's episode of Finding Your Roots airs Feb. 9 on PBS.

Reviews for "Magical Butter Filter: Experimenting with Flavors and Combinations"
1. Samantha - 2 stars
I was really excited to try the Magical Butter filter after hearing so many good things about it, but I was disappointed with the results. The filter did not strain out all the plant material as effectively as I had hoped. There were still small pieces of herbs and residue in my infused butter, which made the final product less desirable. I ended up having to strain the butter multiple times using additional filters to get rid of the unwanted particles. Overall, I found the Magical Butter filter to be less efficient and effective than I expected.
2. Ryan - 1 star
I cannot express how dissatisfied I am with the Magical Butter filter. Not only did it fail to strain out the plant material properly, but it also tore easily. The mesh was not durable enough to withstand the pressure of the herb mixture, and it started to develop small holes after just a few uses. This led to an even more frustrating experience as the filter became less and less reliable with each use. I would not recommend the Magical Butter filter to anyone looking for a long-lasting and efficient straining tool.
3. Emma - 2 stars
I found the Magical Butter filter to be quite messy and hard to clean. The mesh was difficult to clean thoroughly, and a lot of residue got stuck in the tiny holes. It required a lot of time and effort to ensure that all the residue was removed, and even then, there were always some leftover particles. The filter also retained a strong odor from the herbs, which persisted despite extensive washing. Overall, I was not impressed with the inconvenience and inefficiency of the Magical Butter filter and would not purchase it again.
