Amazon.com Product Description

With its traditional French-inspired design, this stoneware butter dish by Le Creuset works well for both storing and serving butter, whether helping butter stay firm and keep its shape between meals or for softening butter before bringing it to the table. The rectangular-shaped dish, which measures approximately 7-3/5 by 4-2/5 by 3 inches, features a round-shaped knob on the removable lid for easy lifting, Le Creuset's signature concentric rings, and the Le Creuset name in raised letters for an added touch of charm.

Le Creuset's line of stoneware comes with a hard-wearing, impermeable finish fired at temperatures as high as 2192 degrees F. With a porosity level of less than 1 percent, it blocks moisture absorption, which can lead to cracking, crazing, and rippling along the interior. Its non-porous construction also resists odors, scratching, and staining for hygienic use and optimal performance. Even more, its high-quality enamel protects against metal marks and other damage, which means it's safe to use with knives. Best of all, the glaze on the exterior makes the stoneware items fun to mix and match with other coordinating Le Creuset pieces (sold separately), while a neutral-colored glaze on the inside offers an optimal palette for food presentation. And thanks to an unmatched thermal resistance from -65 degrees F to 500 degrees F, Le Creuset stoneware moves effortlessly from the microwave or oven (or under the broiler) to the table for serving to the refrigerator or freezer for storing leftovers. When finished, it cleans up easily by hand or in the dishwasher.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing!!, June 24, 2007

This butter dish is much, much smaller than I expected. Trying to get the top over the stick of butter without schmearing the top with butter is next to impossible! And another thing............since when is Le Creuset made in Thailand??? From the looks of things, this will be a dust collector on the counter instead of a useful addition to my kitchen.

As a diehard Le Creuset fan, it pains me to diss this dish, but it's very poorly designed. It cannot accomodate the shorter, thicker sticks of butter so common now. After constantly scraping and prying butter from under the lid I'm going back to the cheaper, more functional models. Too bad.

This review is from: Le Creuset Stoneware Butter Dish, Red (Kitchen)

When the butter softens and you put the dish in the refrigerator, the lid tends to stick to the bottom plate because the softened butter has spread somewhat. Instead of sliding a butter knife under the lid to pry it loose, or just let it sit awhile, my daugher pulled on the the little knob on the top of the lid and broke it off. I don't feel like spending another $25.00 so, we use it without the little knob at the top -- looks like heck, tho.
