Are the markings for the east coast style 1/4 lb sticks or the west coast style? Western sticks are wider and shorter; eastern are longer and thinner.

I'm pretty sure it fits the eastern blocks. I bought this as a gift for my elderly Dad who insisted he needed a butter dish that held multiple sticks. I'm pretty sure he's eating way, way, way too much butter. Anyway, he liked the butter keeper.

The container holds 2 sticks that are eastern or 1 stick that is western. It is the best butter keeper I have ever had. My butter is ALWAYS fresh!

This container holds a solid pound block of butter. Dish measures 3 1/2 by 6 1/2

I've never heard of these terms, but the sticks we use are long and narrow. I don't think I've ever seen a west coast style. My only problem with this dish is the fact that I wish I had ordered two. It is great.

Having investigated with an eastern quarter lb stick, the markings most closely match that, not the short sticks or Irish Brick. The keeper is superb, and just as a hint mark the other side underneath with appropriate tablespoons in say Sharpie.

It is for Both actually. It will hold one wider Western stick or 2 of the Eastern thinner ones. They are the BEST ever.!!! I love mine.

Yes, the Kalorik has both measurements. There is a switch that you can change from pounds to KG measurements.

The sticks measure 16 3/8, Sorry for delay- I had to ask son to bring them home from school. Great product!

These are more like the African chew sticks. I bought miswak sticks for my son-in-law, and he much preferred the African chew sticks, so I guess there is a bit of difference.

The difference is the word "kit" .... the one you are questioning about comes as a kit of 2 sticks, all the numbers are the same so virtually they are the same, hope this helped.

I am trying to find this information out as well. The only difference I have seen so far is this set is 1" wider than the other set, and that was by reading comments.

No, the larger cinnamon sticks do not have more flavor, just longer lasting flavor because it's larger. The difference between 3" and 5" is 2". Enjoy!

It works with both the eastern and western sticks. I purchased one for the western size (3"x1.5"x1.5"). Nice fit for both.

I've had one of these for years. Mine is blue and yellow. It also takes the skinny east coast butter. For some reason they've never made one for west coast sized butter sticks.The trick is to store it by the veg crisper, in a less cold area, so that the butter isn't sooo cold that it won't dispense easily, or you'll have to take it out of the fridge a few minutes before use to let the butter warm up just a little.I love mine, I just wish it fit my California sized sticks [I'd buy another one if they ever make a west coast version]. But, it only takes a minute and a sharp, thin knife to trim about 3/8" from two sides of the cube and then put the trimmings on top. I've had one of these for years. Mine is blue and yellow.

You've got all the answer you need by now, but I just wanted to add for those that didn't know, this is a legitimate question. I discovered as a young homemaker many years ago that a pound of butter was packaged in 4 "sticks" in the eastern part of the country and 4 "cubes" on the west coast. I filed it away with other info like "Best Foods mayonnaise in the west and Hellmans in the east."

From the looks of it. Nothing. I looked over both of them and they look the same. The 103 seems to be 1/2 pound lighter. But either one is a great buy. I still use mine today.

Locally try any Truckstop in your area. Being a retired truck driver I have purchased these tips at various truckstops. To my knowledge the size is the same for all sticks. Different colors are available.

Sorry it took so long to respond. The sticks are 5/32". Just a bit smaller than 1/4". Hope this helps.

The horizontal lines do not represent any measurements. I checked, and one mark is a little over two ounces.

The sticks are neutral. They don't curve left or right, but you can bend them to form the way you want to for a righty or lefty.

Vs California King. East King refers to a standard King. California king is longer.

I purchased these sticks so long ago and when I moved from the area I donated them to the school. I remember them being like 12 inches long and 1 inch round. They were great for my preschool class!
