I like this butter dish. It fits inside the compartment in our refrigerator door and I like that it's clear and you can see the butter stick inside it. The measuring marks can be handy at times, too. The lid fits nice and snug so you can lift the dish by the lid and it won't come off. The only thing to comment on is that the bottom, where the butter stick sits, is flat, i.e. no ridge or well to hold the stick in place. So, the butter stick can slide a little on the surface and if you're a bit messy with the butter, the butter can get off the edge of the dish a bit. But, that has not been a problem for us, as we don't see it getting messy enough to matter, and we don't leave our butter sitting out where it could begin to melt and try to run off the bottom. So, we recommend this butter dish as a good one to try if you're in the market for such a thing! We like ours!

After our butter dish fell and broke, we looked all over for a non breakable replacement, but had a hard time finding anything that wasn't glass or some sort of ceramic. We looked at a few places like Bed, Bath and Beyond and Target to no avail.

When I took my search online, I came across a couple that looked good. I chose this one because it was smaller and included measurement lines. I've not regretted the decision. The top still fits on snug and the dish does what it's supposed to do very well.

This butter dish is quite functional in that it has the measurements which come in very handy, however, it isn't the best looking. It is also a bit bulky and the butter has a tendency to slide around since there really isn't a "rim" to keep it in place. Overall, I'm very happy with it but I may get a different one for when I serve the butter at the table with guests.

I LOVE this thing, because when I cut the butter on the dish, it's a flat surface. Most other butter dishes the butter sits a little lower than the edges, which makes it difficult to cut. Not this dish! And a GREAT feature are the measuring lines for both long thin sticks, as well as for short fat butter sticks - so I always know how to cut a tablespoon for baking. Highly recommend this product.

I returned this item because it had a huge footprint, and a strange design. Rather than sitting in a recess like most butter dishes, this one was on a flat surface that the top sits around. If you were to leave butter out, it would melt onto the table.

The main thing I don't like about this product is the lack of a rim, or a textured surface, on the platform to hold the stick of butter or margarine in place. If you are not careful while cutting it the stick will slide right off. Also be careful not to pick it up by the top, even though it has a rubber seal. Another reviewer said that you could, but I have a stick of butter on my kitchen floor that says differently. Otherwise it is OK. The tablespoon marks are a good idea and very useful.

I have this butter dish and it sucks! If you leave the butter out and it gets warm enough to melt (summer) it leaks and gets butter all over your counter. There is no lip to keep melty butter contained and the lid doesn't do any good.

Don't buy this.

All of the graduated markings eventually wore away. However works as well as any other butter keeper.The big reason I purchased this was for the measurement markings which disappeared.

I bought this dish over two years ago and I am buying a second because I just melted the cover on a burner by not paying attention. The seal is air tight and stays that way. The measurements come in handy when I am preparing recipes, and you can always see how much you have because it is clear. The piece IS plastic, so you won't use this at formal occasions but it is sturdy and serviceable for daily use at the kitchen table.

I'm afraid this item just isn't sturdy enough.

The base of mine broke after about a year of normal use. The lid fits tightly, as advertised, but that means you have to grasp the dish very firmly to pull the lid off. The place on the base I customarily grasped to remove the lid just disintegrated one day. The dish is still usable, but not exactly lovely to look at.

Time to replace this one.
