Does this butter dish hole a 1lb butter block?

No It holds two sticks with extra room to spare, but not a pound. I have tried and it just doesn't work without squishing butter out and around.

I put 2 standard sticks side by side but I have not tried a full pound block, but my guess is that it will.

It holds the normal quarter pound block from a package of 4 butter blocks. I do not believe it would fit a pound block, but I could be wrong.

As a general guess, I'd say that the 1 lb package would have the equivalent of probably 10 lbs of butter. However, it's really not a great substitute for butter -- you can't reconstitute it or cook(saute) with it. It's better sprinkled over popcorn or veggies.

No. It's extremely heavy and well made but it appears to have been designed to handle 225g of butter (most European butter is packaged this way). It will not hold two traditional US quarters.

Yes. This dish is excellant for 1/4 lb sticks of butter. It is perfect. I prefer this holder over glass dishes. I have a few of them so that one can be in the dishwasher while another is filled. I use a second holder for half sticks of olive oil + butter sticks.

Yes it holds exactly 1 stick (1/2 cup) of butter. You dont need to add water as you use the butter You just change the water every few days with about 1/3 cup cold water to keep everything fresh and cool.

The butter dish holds a regular 8oz pack of butter perfectly. You can always cut larger packs to fit. It's a very nice item, I am very pleased with mine.

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.

Yes, it does. This is a beautiful butter dish. Very heavy and sturdy. I love it and recommend it.

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

I have had a couple of the shorter sticks in it at a time... I usually use the regular, longer sticks...I don't want a whole pound of butter out at once, but I have thought if I wanted to, I could unwrap and put an entire pound of the long sticks into this butter dish.. not sure how a pound of the shorter ones would work.

I have never had that happen. I push room temperature butter into the dish with the back of a spoon, fill the water just up to the fill mark (about 3/4 inch I guess) and it lifts out without a suction. Is the piece that holds the butter really tight in the bottom piece? If so, perhaps yours is defective because there should be a little room so it slips out easily. I don't remember if they protected it with something but if there is any plastic on either piece it should be removed. Good luck.

Not quite a pound. You will need to trim off a bit to fit. Great butter dish. Hope that helps!

Yes, the hole measures 1", however it doesn't have a stop to the hole it simply is a hole, so it looks like the pole would slide all the way to the top of the feeder.

No it doesn't, this only holds 1 stick of butter but I love them. It's more presentable than the regular butter holder.

No it fits a quarter LB of butter only. It is a very lovely butter dish however.

Not sure, but it fits my p - 1 1/2 - b which is pretty old. It's a 1 1/2 quart dish.

Just went out and measured, it is a 1" hole. It fits my 1" pole perfectly. I use mine as a plaftform for the feeder above it.
