24 Best Gifts for People Who Love Food
Available in nine delightful colors, this neat butter holder comes with a dainty, stainless-steel knife that fits in a thin slot between the lid and the surrounding dish lip.
In our house, we go through unfathomable amounts of butter (bless our Costco membership). So I like to keep some soft on the counter — perhaps testing the limits of condiment storage recommendations. After years of hunting for a butter keeper that is both affordable and handsome, I found the Zero Japan Butter Dish, which checks all of those boxes and more. Unlike glass, which shows fatty smudges to the world, the ceramic dish comes in an assortment of attractive, mess-hiding hues, including artichoke, carrot, and jeans blue. It’s shrewdly designed, too. The accompanying stainless steel knife discreetly and conveniently fits in a slot on the side, in the thin space between the lip and the lid. The dish is on the shorter side, however, so standard American butter sticks have to be trimmed to fit inside. And, of course, this holder can also be stored in the refrigerator.
