Better butter bontainer?

December 21, 2014 by Lauren 7 Comments

I really wish I would have taken a ‘before’ picture. Imagine this butter dish with butter all around the bottom edge. (We leave the butter out all the time so it’s nice and soft and toast-ready.) It’s not its fault – you cut off too much butter, so then you have to ‘wipe’ it back onto the dish and it gets on the lid when you replace it. After a while the whole thing gets a little gross, and a lot dangerous. Darn slippery glass lid….

Well, Amy over at Angry Chicken decided to use a cute little Weck jar to hold half a stick of butter, and that seemed so smart. I do not have a Weck jar, but I do have an irreverence for directionality.

Let’s give this a try. The ‘lid’ isn’t exactly tight-fitting, but until the cats realize that we keep the butter on top of the microwave, I think we’ll be fine.

    I don’t think I know what “too much butter” means 🙂

    Still, I think that’s a good solution. I’ll be curious to see if it works out. Will butter get stuck in the corners of the container and get old? Do you wash it out periodically? What is your butter dish washing schedule? I think I must only wash mine about twice a year. I often leave the paper under the butter though, so the dish stays cleaner longer.

      I think we would go through 3 – 4 sticks of butter before it got so dangerous it needed to be washed. So that’s….. 1 1/2 – 2 months? How does that translate in butter years?

    I LOVE the look of your new butter dish! Very modern!

    But I don’t understand the solution. Please go easy on me…..my mind has become mush in the last weeks…..but won’t you still scrape the butter on the edge of the lid possibly still having the same issue.

        I think it will be slightly safer, since the wiped-off butter will stay in the ‘bowl’, and the edges of the ‘lid’ won’t get greasy since there’s an overhang. Y’know, now that I see this explanation with so, so many quotation marks, maybe it isn’t such a good idea.

    I think we have a BD just like yours and the edges always get buttery. When it gets intolerable, I use the “quik wash” method. Hold it under the VERY hot water faucet until all the butter melts off the dish, and wipe it dry with paper towels. PRESTO—-a sparkly clean dish!! Merry Christmas!
