Product Information
Full details
The Le Creuset Butter Dish in Grey is designed for home cooks and kitchen enthusiasts who value both aesthetic appeal and culinary practicality. Its primary benefit is the versatile stoneware construction that allows for seamless transitions from fridge to microwave, making it incredibly easy to soften butter for spreading. While it offers superior thermal retention and durability, users should be aware that, like all high-quality stoneware, it is breakable if dropped on hard surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This butter dish is ready for use immediately upon unboxing. To ensure the longest life for your Le Creuset piece, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: While the piece is dishwasher-safe, hand washing with warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge is recommended to maintain the exterior luster.
- Temperature Changes: Avoid drastic thermal shocks. While durable, it is best to allow the dish to adjust gradually when moving from extreme cold to high heat.
- Utensils: Use wooden, silicone, or plastic spreaders to protect the interior enamel from potential surface scratches over years of heavy use.
- Storage: Ensure the dish is placed on a stable surface in the refrigerator or on the countertop to avoid accidental knocks.
