Troubleshooting
Butter is too hard or too soft.
The butter dish helps regulate temperature, but extreme ambient temperatures can still affect butter consistency. Store the dish in a cool place (like a pantry or refrigerator) if your kitchen is very warm, or leave it on the counter if your kitchen is cool.
Stains or discoloration on the stoneware.
For minor stains, try washing with a paste of baking soda and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Lid does not fit securely.
Ensure the base tray is clean and dry. Check that the butter stick is not too tall or awkwardly placed, preventing the lid from settling correctly. Gently adjust the butter if needed.
