Review on 🧈 Indulge in the Richness of Old Home Kitchen Butter Porcelain: A Timeless Classic by Marcus Zimmerly

The oil boat arrived on July 11, just in time for the heat wave. It was beautifully packaged. came with no instructions, tips or thank you, many included although tips would be nice, it gets the job done if you like it, buttered done when you're done. As one reviewer rightly pointed out, the lid isn't airtight and requires a light touch to close properly. One suggestion for the manufacturer is to place a pipe inside the water tank that will allow the oil boat to displace the required amount of water. I've seen many others do this for ease of use by the client. Well aware of this on a sleepless night, I refilled with cold chilled water and an ice cube. Not too complete as I expected will work. That sleepless night resulted in water on my counter. At 3am I can only imagine what a watery mess I would find myself in the morning. The Oil Boat is simple, looks good, and does what it's supposed to with a little work. It's been so hot 90+ every day that I change the water daily, use ice, no problem so far except guessing how much water is enough or too much. Physics, no fun arithmetic. I bought it for the summer heat to have Kerrygold, Finlandia, Vermont oil ready to foam. Please note the Kerrygold stick barely fits, the block containing a lot of oil needs to be cut in half lengthways which is what I do. If you're using east coast oil, the wand won't work as it's longer than west coast oil and other brands I've mentioned. You'll need to cut the east coast butter in half to get a reasonable fit imho. How easy it is to get a stick of butter, I have yet to gracefully master it, I either drive a butter knife all the way through or try to cut off a piece. beat. I remember the weather from 90-97 and the AC works but my kitchen gets real hot in the southwest afternoon sun including the electric bills. I don't think I would give that away. I'll be using it during the hot summer months as I haven't had any problems with bugs or rancid oil so it's working for now. Maybe later I'll find a sealed unit. But I didn't want the oil bell type, if the oil will fall out when using it I don't know. Maybe I'll get used to it, time will tell. I'm not scolding the oil boat, I'm trying to give an honest and honest review for others to decide what's right for them. But I hope that the suggestion of a waterline and a few application tips will be taken into account. It's at least better than using a regular butter dish on the counter on summer days, so that's a plus. All in all the price was ok, but I wouldn't pay a cent more. It's an oil boat. There has to be a better design somewhere.
