FAQs
What are the dimensions of the butter dish?
The dish is designed to accommodate a standard block of butter, typically fitting a 4.5 inch x 2.25 inch x 1.5 inch (11.4 cm x 5.7 cm x 3.8 cm) butter stick. The overall dimensions are compact for countertop or refrigerator storage.
Can this butter dish go in the dishwasher?
No, it is recommended to hand wash the butter dish with mild soap and water. Dishwasher detergents and high heat cycles can damage the ceramic glaze over time.
Is the lid airtight?
The lid is designed to be tight-fitting to seal in freshness. While not completely airtight, it provides an effective seal against air and contaminants.
Can I use it for butter from a European-style wrapper?
This dish is designed for standard butter blocks. European-style butter, often sold in 250g (8.8 oz) packs, may be larger and might not fit comfortably. Please measure your butter block if unsure.
Can the butter dish be used in the microwave or oven?
No, this ceramic butter dish is not safe for use in a microwave or oven. It is intended for storage and serving at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
What is the 'Spotty Dotty' design?
The 'Spotty Dotty' design is a multicolor pattern of dots, characteristic of the Cooksmart kitchenware range, adding a cheerful and classic aesthetic to the ceramic butter dish.
Troubleshooting
Butter is not staying fresh.
Ensure the lid is placed firmly and squarely onto the base to create a proper seal. Check for any debris on the rim of the base or lid that might be preventing a tight fit.
Dish has minor chips or cracks.
Minor chips may be cosmetic. If significant cracks appear, discontinue use to prevent potential breakage and ensure food safety.
Surface appears stained.
For stubborn stains, create a paste of baking soda and water, apply to the stain, let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then gently scrub with a soft cloth and rinse thoroughly.
