Know before you buy
Yes, it is specifically designed to accommodate one standard US-sized stick of butter.
Yes, the enamel construction is highly durable and designed for everyday kitchen use, offering a sturdy, chip-resistant surface that holds up well over time.
The lid is designed as a fitted cover to protect the butter from air and debris, but it is not airtight. It is intended to keep butter fresh for regular use on your countertop.
We recommend hand-washing the butter box with mild soap and drying it immediately to maintain the glossy finish and integrity of the enamel.
While enamel is durable, we advise against using the dishwasher, as harsh detergents and high heat can dull the finish and potentially damage the checkered pattern over time.
