This countertop butter dish neatly stores butter at room temperature, keeping it spreadable without sacrificing any of its fresh flavor. The flip-top lid blocks exposure to light and air, while a built-in knife rest keeps the included spreader off the counter. There’s even a hidden ridge to scrape the spreader (or a knife) clean on. Use the serrated grip tongs to grab toasted items or to push and pull your oven rack to avoid burning your fingers.
