Insulated Butter Dish

I realise, now and too late, that I should have bought the alternative traditional butter dish. Basically, this dish is upside down and means that block butter is difficult to place inside and impossible to extract ! The design details were not originally stated, although now the differences between the two dishes are clear. That does not help me, however.

I bought my dish while visiting my family. I now live in Hawaii and you can never keep butter out. It works wonderfully. My friends want them also.

Handled intelligently, this INSULATED butter dish worked very well in ambient temperatures up to 37? in a warm Cyprus September. However, it can only smooth the temperature changes � it is neither an active refrigerator nor an oven. Anticipation is needed transferring it to and from the fridge. Perhaps some of your customers have been confused by the claim on the box that it "maintains (sic) your butter at an even temperature".

I bought this as I was leaving the UK for Cyprus. It reached a record 45.6 C this year, now, no butter dish is going to cope with that, however it does very well up to about 33c. In terms of construction I have had no problems at all it goes in the dishwasher no problem although I tend to handwash it. The type of butter may cause problems cheaper brands tend to be softer. I buy a good brand and I have never had runny butter so am very happy with the dish and think that it has had a pretty robust trial.

I wish I had read the reviews before buying. Keeping the dish in the fridge, the butter is rock hard. Keeping it out of the fridge, the butter runs like oil. What a waste of money.

Living in Dubai.....and realising that the Lakeland is another brand easily available....was a dream come true!!! Limited stock....but a Lakeland here is great!! In all my awe.....I was really thrilled with the fact that the butter dish was updated from plastic to stainless steel! Was I disappointed when after having recommending your product to over a dozen people, the butter dish did not keep the butter at a spreadable temperature after having placed it in the fridge..thereafter melting to a liquid form in room temperature...I sure was annoyed!!! The price and the product! An instant recall should be done!!!

My mum had the previous (plastic) version of this butter dish and it worked excellently. I was given this updated stainless steel version as a gift for Christmas '08, and although it is stylish and well-made it doesn't keep the butter at a useable consistency (...it is pretty much rock-hard!). Also, a few small rust marks have developed in the interior of the dish (these appeared after storing some highly salted butter in it, not sure if that had something to do with it!). If I had bought this with my own money I'd be quite disappointed.

I am struggling to make sense of the size information which says the dish is suitable for a block of butter that is: 3 x 8 x 5cm (4¾" x 3¼" x 2"). Firstly the order of the dimensions is different for cm and inches (the longest length is in the middle for cm and at the start for inches), but also the cm and inch values seem to bear no relationship to each other. Maybe it should be: 3 x 8 x 5cm (1¼" x 3?" x 2") or: 11½ x 7¾ x 4¾cm (4¾" x 3¼" x 2") or (the block of butter I just measured): 11½ x 7¾ x 4¾cm (4¾" x 3¼" x 2¾").

I have bought 2 of these dishes - one for a spanish apartment and one for home in UK. I am disappointed with the UK performance already - the butter is not spreadable at all, £12 for an item that doesn't work is money wasted. I will take the other to Spain and see how it fairs there....on reading the other reviews I am obviously not alone in being disappointed.
