Le Creuset Stoneware Heritage Butter Dish, White - Classic Table

In this review of the Le Creuset Stoneware Heritage Butter Dish, White the bottom line is simple: this is a small, durable, and attractive butter keeper best suited to cooks and hosts who want a stylish everyday dish that moves easily from fridge to table. The reviewer found the piece well made from high-quality stoneware with a vibrant, nonporous glaze that resists stains and is easy to clean, making it ideal for kitchens that favor longevity and matching Le Creuset dinnerware.

Key Features

• Finest quality stoneware: The heavy, dense stoneware construction feels sturdy and will tolerate regular use without showing wear quickly.
• Nonporous colorful glaze: The vibrant white glaze resists chips, scratches and stains while remaining non-reactive with food.
• Virtually nonstick surface: The smooth glazed interior makes butter easy to spread and simple to clean by hand or in the dishwasher.
• All-purpose heat and cold safety: Safe for freezer, oven, microwave and broiler use so it can go directly from refrigerator to microwave or table.
• Accommodates multiple butter sizes: Sized to hold a single stick of butter and wide enough for most European style sticks, with enough room for two US-sized sticks in practice.

Who It's For

The Heritage Butter Dish suits home cooks and hosts who own other Le Creuset pieces or want a durable, attractive butter dish that complements a coordinated kitchen set. It is also a good choice for those who prefer stoneware that can withstand oven, microwave and dishwasher use without special care.

Shoppers who need a very large capacity butter keeper, a soft-seal lid, or a budget plastic option should look elsewhere; this is a classic ceramic-style butter dish focused on durability and appearance rather than maximizing capacity or lowest possible price.
