Best Butter Dishes

Did you know that you don’t actually have to refrigerate butter? If you like to have a little butter on the table for spreading on a piece of bread or on veggies, then you might get tired of the the routine — getting the butter out of the fridge, unwrapping a stick, letting it set until it’s thawed enough to spread…every single time. But you don’t actually have to go through that process. Butter is safe to consume at room temperature. All you need is a butter dish to keep it sanitary and cool, and there are lots of styles to choose from. Here are four stylish butter dishes to consider adding to your kitchen or dining room.

What We Liked

This butter dish is certainly stylish with its sleek, all-white design and minimalistic handle, but what sets it apart from the other butter dishes on this list is its hidden feature that keeps the butter a little more secure. A ridge on the inside of the dish keeps the butter from slipping and sliding. So, even if you have a spill, your butter will likely remain safe and upright. Order Here.
