Beehive Acrylic Plastic Butter Dish

While this butter dish is very pretty and looks almost indestructible, it has a serious design flaw. The inside dimensions are about 1/2" too small.

Unless the cube of butter is in the exact center of the dish, the inside of the lid can touch the cube. As a result, when the dish is put into the refrigerator, the butter solidifies and "glues" itself to the inside of the lid making it hard to get the lid off later. Extremely annoying!

To add to the problem, the dish curves inward slightly on both ends, making even less room for the butter cube and more chance for contact with the lid. The plastic lid is over 1/4" thick which is part of the reason there is so little width room for the butter.

The dish is really quite beautiful. It just needs to have a little more room for the butter.

I should have heeded Mr. Kaufman's warning. He was right.

I needed a new butter dish and based on the reviews that the beehive design made it easy to handle, I ordered one. When it arrived, I found that the bottom piece was designed with the outside edge sitting "too close to the ground" so it is hard to pick up. That plus the fact that it was rather pricey make me wish I had looked further and selected something different.

This Lexan Clear Acrylic butter dish is the next best thing to toast! After going through 3 glass butter dishes at roughly $5 a pop, so far this one appears indestructible. Taking care of my 86 year old father and trying to avoid accidents with broken glass I think this butter dish will do the trick.

It looks just like glass while setting on the kitchen counter or the table. Your average 1¼" X 1¼" X 4½" stick of butter fits perfectly with ½" to spare on either side and a ¼" at the ends when placed in exact center. The base has a lip that the cover fits into snuggly but not tight enough to be picked up by it. Like all acrylic products, I recommend "hand washing" rather than the dishwasher. Ya never know. You just might end up with those tiny cracks left by the high heat and it would be a shame because this butter dish looks so nice.

I've been using this butter dish for a month now and it still looks the same when it was delivered. So far, knives haven't left any cut or scuff marks on the base.

Yes, I recommend this butter dish. It's well worth the money!

The acrylic dish was just fine, except it should be just a little larger, so that the lid doesn't get into the butter. 1/4 inch longer and wider would be useful
