I love this thing. I'm probably the last person to find about these but I'll tell you what. Those French. First the Olympics and now this.
I consume a lot of butter. I keep it at room temperature (once I open it) and the cheap plastic butter dish I was using was just a mess.
I love that I can pick it up and use a spoon, spatula, or knife to get exactly what I want without a mess.
It's got a water line marker towards the bottom. You fill it to the line, squash a stick of butter in there and you're good to go.
I know, I know. But things like this please me.
