FAQs

Is the ceramic base dishwasher safe?

Yes, the ceramic base is dishwasher safe, but we recommend hand-washing to preserve the longevity of the decorative pattern.

Can I put the wooden lid in the dishwasher?

No, you should never place the wooden lid in the dishwasher, as the heat and moisture will cause the wood to warp, crack, or lose its finish.

What size butter stick does this dish hold?

The dish is designed to accommodate standard-sized butter sticks or blocks typically found in most kitchens.

Is the lid airtight?

The wooden lid is designed to sit securely on the base to protect the butter, but it is not a vacuum-sealed or fully airtight container.

Can I use this for things other than butter?

Yes, the dish is versatile and can be used to serve other items like small appetizers, olives, or to store dry goods.

Troubleshooting

The wooden lid feels loose on the base

Ensure the rim of the ceramic base is completely free of butter residue, which can create a slick surface that causes the lid to slip.

The wooden lid looks dry or dull

Apply a light coat of food-grade mineral oil or beeswax wood conditioner to restore the natural luster and protect the wood fibers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant design that complements both modern and traditional decor
  • High-quality, durable ceramic construction
  • Natural wood lid helps maintain butter freshness
  • Versatile use as a storage container or serving tray

Cons

  • Hand-wash recommended for the wooden lid to prevent warping
  • Ceramic base may be breakable if dropped
  • Not dishwasher safe due to the wooden component

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up your butter dish is straightforward: ensure the base is clean and dry before inserting a standard-sized stick or block of butter. When cleaning, it is essential to treat the two components differently. The ceramic base is durable and can typically be cleaned with warm, soapy water or placed in a dishwasher. However, the wooden lid should be hand-washed with mild soap and immediately dried with a soft cloth. Avoid submerging the wooden lid in water for long periods, as this may lead to swelling or cracking. To maintain the wood's appearance, you may occasionally apply food-safe mineral oil to keep the grain hydrated.
