It's not just a butter dish.

Okay, okay. I know - it's a butter dish, not a climate controlled, IoT Wi-Fi enabled, WPA2 encryption protected churned cream receptacle or anything, but even the "simple things" in life should be recognized and appreciated when they do something right. Taking it back for a minute, please allow me to explain what my previous experiences with butter dishes was like before this one came along: basic. About as basic as they can possibly come. A simple, white, ceramic butter dish. Which was fine. It was fine. If you have one now, I'm sure you'll agree: it's fine. But, now that I've had this one for a little while, I really can't find a reason to ever go back. Because here's what that classic ceramic one doesn't do: 1) Let me know at a simple glance how much butter is inside. 2) Allow me to completely remove the wrapper from the butter and yet still have the ability to know where to cut for an X-Tbsp sized portion 3) Sing to me*. 4) Feature a cover that helps to ensure that when I'm putting the lid back on, I'm not off center enough to smear butter all over the edge and/or inside of it. 5) Offer little ledges that help to ensure the butter doesn't go sliding out of the dish when I'm trying to balance a plate or an armful of dinner rolls in one hand, while clumsily attempting to butter things with the other. The list goes on (I mean not really, but you get what I'm saying). My point is: Divorce is an often ugly process, and one that can have serious, long-term, negative effects on all involved. Like when you find yourself in a tiny new apartment with about a tenth of what you once considered were things that belonged to you even though they were admittedly shared. And, how time and time again, while looking for a stick of softened butter to help make that perfect grilled cheese sandwich (as it's become a rather regular option for dinner these days), one shouldn't have to suffer each time they don't find that little, white, basic thing that in all honesty didn't do quite as good of a job as other dishes (like the one reviewed here) probably/should have been doing for the past 5-10 years or so. So, really, what are you waiting for? * This butter dish doesn't sing either. It's still awesome, though. Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any questions. But seriously, why would you? It's just a butter dish.

Simple Product but Very Well Designed

It seems silly to be writing about a butter dish but honestly, I'm 60 years old and this is the best butter dish I've ever had. What I like: -- Non-slip feet that make it easier to "one hand" the butter while holding a tasty roll in the other hand -- Internal "stops" that keep the butter away from the lid -- Measurement marking for both short and long butter sticks that are useful for cooking -- Clear cover so I can see how much butter is left without even touching it

Love this butter dish and answer to the measurement line question

After my cat shattered my glass butter dish, I was in need of a butter dish that would fit my refrigerator's designated butter area. But I was reluctant to go to plastic (didn't want that Tupperware look...not that I don't love a good Tupperware product or two!). This turned out to be perfect for me. The top stays in place so when my furry kitchen helper nudges it with his nose, the butter remains fur-free. And the rubber feet keeps that same nose from nudging the whole dish to the floor. (No, I do not condone my cats on the counter but when my back is turned, trouble brews.) Back to the butter dish I read the reviews and the questions regarding the measuring lines. For people wondering about the lines (wide apart vs. closer together) - apparently west coast butter is shorter and wider so the wide apart measurements are tablespoons for "normal" sticks of butter; the closer together lines are tablespoon measurements for the shorter, wider, sticks.

Truly the Honda of butter dishes (because Cadillacs are too expensive)

First, it holds my butter, which is fantastic. Additionally, it has measurements embossed in it, so I can easily cut a 1 Tsp chunk of butter if I want. The rubber feet are nice for keeping it from slipping on the table (though I've never had an issue with non-footed dishes sliding), but also because they raise the dish ever so slightly, they make it easier to pick up. (I know that sounds like a silly comment, but I had a previous dish that was too low, and actually a big pain to pick up from a smooth surface.) It's made of a high-quality plastic, no the cheap kind that'll shatter when you drop it (I've owned several cheaper butter dishes). This is truly the Cadillac of inexpensive butter dishes. (Wait, are Cadillacs reliable and stuff? I've never driven one. Maybe it's more the Honda of butter dishes. My Honda is super-reliable, and though it wasn't the cheapest car on the lot, it wasn't expensive either.) If you want something fancy to put on your table with your fine china, then buy something nicer. But if you want a decent butter dish for a low price, this is the one you want.

Best Butter Dish I Have Used.

This was exactly as I expected it after reading the description. I purchased two OXO Good Grips Butter Dishes, one with the stainless bottom and one with the white plastic bottom. These are almost identical dishes. The white plastic bottom has additional markings for tablespoons. Both work extremely well and keep the butter clean (if your knife is clean, folks!) I use the plastic dish for butter that is never refrigerated (kept at a cool room temperature of 68 to 70 degrees F.) I use the stainless dish for refrigerated butter. My logic is that sharper knives are used with more force on the cold butter and the stainless will stand up better than the plastic. However, stainless does not protect the edge of the knife. Both dishes are easy to clean and stay clean through 4 sticks pretty well. However, a little care is warranted when putting the lid on the soft butter. And I load the dishes with cool butter to keep that job from being messy.

... for years that our lives would be so much better if we just had a butter dish

My husband and I have been joking for years that our lives would be so much better if we just had a butter dish, but actually we were somewhat serious. My son eats buttered toast as if the world is running out of bread, so every morning we were either trying to scrape the cold butter from the refrigerated butter or microwaving the butter in a dish and making a mess. So we chose this butter dish because it had good reviews and while our lives aren't really that much better, our buttering experience is so much smoother. This butter dish does everything it is supposed to do, you can easily see how much butter you have left and you can clean it very easily. Love it!

A Great Butter Dish that fits perfectly in the Butter section of my Fridge!

I just love this butter dish...Yes I'm in love! I love the fact that the top fits well and stays in the right place so that my kids do not smear soft butter all over the sides of the top when putting it back on. I love that it has markings so that I can measure my butter when cooking. I love that I can see thru the plastic and know when I need to buy more butter. I love that it seems to be a sturdy material and if dropped probably wont crack like the last dish I had. The one pound stick fits perfectly and because of the measurement marks I don't have to keep the paper on the stick to measure a tablespoon. I also like that the sides have stoppers to keep the butter from sliding around. It also fits perfectly in the "butter section" on the door of my refrigerator (that is important to me). I love that OXO has a great warranty and customer service department, I have purchased other products from them and contacted them for issues. I know it is just a butter dish but a great one too!

Loving this butter dish!

Researched many other butter dishes. We wanted one with a cover, a tray you could easily slice off of, something visually elegant, and one that wouldn't easily break or chip... This is very well designed & works perfectly! Very happy with this stainless butter dish!

This has changed my life. Let it change yours...

This butter dish is outstanding. To call it a dish seems to simplify what it truly is. The size of it is perfect, whether you prefer a small stick of butter or large. It's neutral colors of white and blackish match perfectly with any color butter - whether it be bright yellow or pale yellow. All shades of butter color are at home in this butter platter. I've had countless compliments on this. My sister-in-law came over just this evening and could not stop talking about the butter tray. She checked it out with admiration and looked it up on Amazon because her interest was certainly piqued. She tested it and tried in vane to find anything negative about it. In the end, this butter dish is best defined as providing the turning point of my life. It's actually made me happier to know my butter is protected and visible while also knowing it won't slide off the table. That happiness is evident with my family, at my job, and with the youth ministery that I charter. If you are in a rut, feeling like there is just something missing in your life, look no further. Purchase this butter tray today, and thank me tomorrow!

Great European Butter dish

This is what I was looking for. It holds nicely a whole bar of Kerrygold butter. It has rubber feet so it does nor slide around on the table. The lid sits secure on the tray. It does not have a handle but this way it fits better in the butter drawer in the fridge. It is easy to clean.
