Why I love this butter dish made by Butterie:

-It’s cute!

-It’s sturdy, made out of plastic. I know plastic is not the Crunchy Mom thing, but at least it’s BPA-free. Sometimes you just have to lower your ideals. Since it’s not ceramic I’m not fearful of it breaking if dropped from the counter to the floor. I suppose it could break if dropped from a window 30 stories up or if run over by a car but that’s not likely to happen in my home. I have a super pretty Pioneer Woman butter dish (over here) but I don’t use it every day because I don’t want to risk it getting broken. Having 7 children and seeing so many things broken through the years does that to a mom. 🙂

-It can hold two Kerrygold sticks of butter at once.

-It has a lid so you can cover the butter when not in use. As any butter lover knows, you can store butter for up to the three weeks without refrigeration at room temperature without spoiling. Another thing any butter lover knows is that the butter dish gets really messy after just one or two uses. With the lid you can cover it all up. I also love that you can move the lid quickly with one flick of the hand as it is attached to the dish and just swivels up and down. I love having a lid so I can leave it on the counter so the butter stays soft, but protect it from the occasional bug or dust. Decades ago I had a butter ball which was touted as keeping the butter soft and covered. The problem was the poor design. It was a two part thing. The bottom part held water to keep the butter soft and the upper part, holding the butter, was turned upside down. So you had to grab the top part and turn it over to get to the butter. Then turn it back upside down. Inevitably the butter would slide out into the water. This is so much better! We can have soft, room temperature butter, with no mess, and no fuss to get to it.

-It comes with a matching spreader that has a special slot to fit into on the dish, behind a lip so it doesn’t easily get knocked off. See photo. I’ve always hated having a salad plate, or saucer (which is worse, because it’s smaller) for butter because there’s no “place” on the plate for a knife. It falls off easily. So then you might just say, “Just get a new knife out every time you use the butter and then wash it” but then you could end up using a dozen or more knives a day if you have a big family.

-It is dishwasher safe. You can remove the lid and put all three parts, the dish, the lid, and the spreader into the dishwasher to get all clean.

-It comes in 10 different colors, you are bound to find one that fits in with the color scheme of your kitchen. The ones below, plus ivory, orange, green, gray, beige, and yellow. Beautiful choices!

-It’s got a great price, $24.99 as an Amazon Prime product, as of today, over on amazon.com. This dish is totally worth the price! That’s not an affiliate link, I receive no kickback if you buy it through that link. I’m not being paid to promote this product. I just love it and think every butter lover should have one! Just train your family members to put on a new stick as the butter gets eaten, and you will always have soft butter with no mess. Kudos to the butterie.com team for making such a fabulous product!
