Review on ๐Ÿงˆ OXO Good Grips Butter Dish: Ultimate Convenience and Easy Handling by Kevin Pirlet

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It's a better oil than most, but far from perfect.

It is easy to paint and fresh (there I mentioned those non-essential features as suggested). The lid is light, has no unfavorable cone, so it can be easily removed and put on again even with slippery hands. If it had grooves it would be even better (it doesn't have to be deep or have sharp corners; just rounded notches on each side help arthritic hands hold it well). The base is too light. It is worn when the oil is cooled. We decided to leave it on the counter to keep the butter soft. But that means we're not getting a clean slice because the side guides are in the way. We always end up in the well with lumpy sediment. I'm wondering if anyone has thought of making the side rails intermittent rather than fixed. The solid side rails are not needed to keep the butter stick from slipping and the rail-less sections would allow my knife to slice all the way down the width of the stick and pull out a full soft stick of butter. If required, the handle can be easily moved to align with the underside of the rail. We like the end rails, which work well to prevent sideways sliding and keep the lid clean. A quarter of the oil lasts us about 2-3 days, and in our kitchen it stays between 20ยฐC and 25ยฐC and the oil always seems fresh.

Pros
  • Kitchen and dining room
Cons
  • Small parts
