Following from the (ver popular!) thread about butter I started s few days ago, I decided I want a butter dish to start keeping part of the butter outside the fridge.
Need inspo, how about a show me a pic of your butter dish thread? 😆

This is mine, from Etsy. Hand made by a potter in Cornwall. When one of my dc broke the base, I contacted the seller and he kindly made me a replacement base so I didn’t have to buy a whole new one.

This is mine, William Morris print. I love a butter dish!

I have that one too but in the Strawberry Thief print.

I also have a white porcelain one for when the above one is being washed.

Mine is this, would recommend. I used to have one with sides and you just took the lid off the top, and that was awkward to get all the butter out of! This one lifts off top and sides, which works better for me.

Mines a vintage one from a charity shop by Price & Kensington

I was given a Le Creuset but hated the little recessed handle - even with my small hands it was awkward, so I sold it on. I'm using my mum's old 1970s stainless steel, deep one now - it's much lighter, I'm not scared of dropping it and I can pop it in a very low oven to soften the butter if I need to.

cheap and cheerful here - been lusting after the LC one for ages but can't ever justify it.

We have this one. I got it second hand on eBay as I was too tight to buy it new!

I bought this for DH for Christmas a couple of years ago. You set the temperature for the consistency you want and that is how the butter stays whether it is is a heatwave or freezing in the room. DH loves it and I have started eating butter as well now I know it isn't going to rip the bread to bits when I try to spread it.

Forgot the picture of the plug in dish

Tootruetoberreal · 23/01/2025 10:50

I'm wanting to convert to butter blocks, because I'm finding that spreadable butter isn't very nice now.

How long can you leave it out of the fridge for? Won't it go off?

Matildahoney · 23/01/2025 10:48

I have teal Le Crueset one, got mine from tk maxx for £12 but I think they've stopped selling Le Crueset now
