Does this butter dish fit "West Coast" thicker/shorter butter sticks? (Some reviews are saying the dish barely fits a stick...)

I never heard of "West Coast" butter; I use Fleischmann's margarine sticks and they fit perfectly.

It is narrow for longer sticks like parkway sticks not the quarters, it is okay but not the best

I don't think so. There is extra room with the 1/4 lb. stick but the length means it needs to be in the middle of the dish. Do you have the dimensions of the 1/2 lb. stick? I am thinking it is more square.

I believe Amazon might have them listed backwards but I would check with customer service before ordering. The biggest difference between the 2 is that one holds a full pound of butter (4 long quarter pound sticks stacked together or the large full pound sticks we buy at Sam's Club or the farmers market), we have the full pound version & love it, the other version only holds a half pound of butter.

No. The dimensions of the butter dish are ideal for only one stick of butter.

sorry this took so long, my daughter liked it so much she "borrowed" it. the bottom dish where you place your butter is7-1/4" in length and it's 4-3/4" across. The lid of course is a bit smaller 3" across and 5-3/4" long. with the lid on it's about 2-1/2" high. this butter dish holds one stick of butter......I hope this helps.

I'm pretty sure it fits the eastern blocks. I bought this as a gift for my elderly Dad who insisted he needed a butter dish that held multiple sticks. I'm pretty sure he's eating way, way, way too much butter. Anyway, he liked the butter keeper.

As near as I can tell using a tape measure, the internal tray where the butter sits is 5.0" long x 2.9" wide x 1.5" deep. The corners of the tray are rounded, and the lid has about 0.4" clearance above the tray near the sides. I estimate the largest rectangular stick of butter that will fit, without touching anything but the bottom, is about 4.5" x 2.6" x 1.8".

The dish will comfortably hold something 6 cm wide and 10 cm long. You would get a better answer if you stated the dimensions rather than weight of butter.

Not really. I actually like the dish, but was a bit surprised at how small it was when it arrived. It looks much larger in the photo. I used it for a small bundt type cake and it couldn't hold all of the batter from my normal cake recipe.

Mine is a different model although appears the same size--Does not have a place for butter knives--I just have them in the bottom drawer--The dinner knife slots will only fit one knife per slot--the case is wide enough for you to put the dinner knives where the photo shows the forks and spoons are--that is if you have room--by the way I bought mine at bed & Bath--if one is close to you --might look at one first before you buy -regards

No, it only holds a piece cut off the end of the stick, about 2 inches. We bought the dish because we want to only have a small amount of butter, out on the table, at room temperature. And this stops it going rancid, as it would when too much is left out at a time. It means that we always have soft butter to use at the table. So, they are really tiny dishes.

I put about 1/3 cup. I also read thru the responses and add a few shakes of salt. When you put the stick of butter in, make sure it soft and pack it in.

I links is about one stick of butter plus a quarter---I am a little confused as to what this dishes supposed to do------- my understanding is that you put some water in the dish below and set the actual butter dish on top----I just haven't figured out what the difference is between a regular dish and this one----my question to you is ask them what's so special about this dish

It barely fits normal sticks. So if they are 1.5 x 1.5 then sure. However I wouldn't keep it in the fridge unless you want to run the risk of breaking the mill when using it. It can't handle the force of cold butter.

Hi Melissa - I answered this once but am thinking it didn't go through - so please ignore if it is a repetition. I do love this candy dish. The dish part is 3 1/4" tall and 4 1/2" wide. It holds a good amount of candy (I have bite-size peanut butter cups in it right now and there are 30 pieces in it - actually 29 now. :-0) and you can easily stack a few pieces up into the lid as it is hollowed out. This dish is not a light-weight, which I also love. You don't have to worry about little thin edges chipping off. Besides - it's just cute. I don't think you would be disappointed! Have a great day!

There is a rim that "more or less" holds it in place. I find it easier when moving it to just take the lid off and carry the butter exposed in the dish. It would be nice if they would put some kind of handle on the lid but in lieu of that, when carrying the entire dish, I always wrap my hand around the entire top of the dish all the way to the bottom and grip it that way. Otherwise, as mentioned before, I take the lid off. Once you put the lid on and have it in place, however, the rim WILL keep the lid in place unless you jostle it hard. Hope this helps. Love this dish. Butter never goes bad and stays nice and soft. There is a rim that "more or less" holds it in place.

It doesn't fit in mine. I had measured the holder and I thought the dish would fit, but because the lid is so tall and the door of the butter holder is angled at the top, the door won't close over the dish. I had only measured the depth of the holder at the bottom; I hadn't realized it needed to be just as deep at the top.
