Hello, I am essentially searching for a single stainless steel butter dish with a lid. It should be similar to the ones that are readily available in glass. This is partly because I’m clumsy, but it’s also because I have less glasses available for when my toddler wants to learn how to butter bread.
Many variations are available in stainless steel, but they are all too big to fit in the small space in my cupboard where my glass one is now located. They are all double-wide, meaning they can store two sticks of butter side by side. Would anyone know of a SINGLE broad butter dish made of stainless steel that is available for purchase anywhere?
Could you please inform me if this isn’t the right sub to ask this question in?
@Anne Yes, but this one also has two widths. They exclusively produce the double-width stainless steel ones, for some reason. I need one that is narrower, like my glass one (which is 3.25 inches wide), and only stores one stick of butter instead of two. The one that is 4.5 inches wide is too broad for my cupboard (it could easily take TWO butter sticks side by side).
Well, that’s very much it—just for one stick of butter rather than the extra breadth needed for two!
Almost precisely the same (tiny, narrow), but made of stainless steel rather than glass:
@Mitchelle Another thing you could try is to see if you can find a tiny stainless steel container that would work well for butter even if it might not be made for it particularly. similar to snack containers or bento boxes.
@Bailey Yes, the only problem is that I would prefer it to be set in the shape of a container rather than having a bottom that is flat like a butter dish. I like to wrap corn on the cob on a flat platter and enjoy chopping off pats of butter from it. I suppose I’ll have to make my own, hehe!
@Anne Thank you, the eBay one is exactly the appropriate size! It’s precisely the same size as my glass one, so I know it will fit in the area! (I was searching for stainless steel because I’m trying to avoid putting food in plastic!)
@Mitchelle The one I linked doesn’t seem like it could handle two sticks, but it has a uselessly wide lip. Its width is 4 inches. The Danesco Stainless Steel Covered Butter Dish (P-1245) is available at Kitchen Niche.
