Know before you buy
Yes, this mold is crafted from wood and can be used to shape butter. We recommend hand-washing it gently with mild soap and ensuring it is completely dry before storage to maintain the integrity of the wood.
To ensure a clean release, soak the mold in cold water for about 30 minutes before use. This creates a moisture barrier that prevents the butter from adhering to the intricate carvings.
This piece measures 8 inches in length. Its size makes it substantial enough to serve as a functional kitchen tool or a decorative focal point on a shelf or tabletop.
Avoid soaking the wood for extended periods or placing it in the dishwasher, as this can cause the wood to warp or crack. Periodically applying a food-safe mineral oil will help preserve the finish and prevent the wood from drying out.
Absolutely. Beyond butter molding, its unique design makes it an excellent catch-all for small items like keys, jewelry, or trinkets, adding a vintage touch to your entryway or vanity.
