It holds one stick of butter which is half a cup...you just let the butter soften to room temp and pack it in...fits perfectly..I love mine!

I'd like to order several for gifts. Can I send them to multiple addresses?

This little dish will hold about 125g of butter. I think in the US this is equivalent to a stick of butter.

They hold half a packet of butter. I usually just cut the whole pack of butter in half and then the second half is ready when you are!

I bought it through Amazon. The seller was the Storage Store. I bought it last fall, don't know if Amazon still carries it. Holds a pound block of butter perfectly, stays fresh. $6.00

It is large but I don't believe it is that large. But by the way 4 sticks of butter? Exactly how much butter do you spread on your bread, corn, muffins, potatoes etc.? One stick lasts quite a while in this house.

I put about 1/3 cup. I also read thru the responses and add a few shakes of salt. When you put the stick of butter in, make sure it soft and pack it in.

I actually do keep my butter without water and it is soft and doing okay without. There doesn't seem to be much space to put the water in. Therese

will it hold a true pound of butter, without cutting off any of the butter?

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.

Ensure butter is little soft when you put it in and if you press the butter well against the wall, it won't fall. But if it does, just put it back in :)

It holds ONE FULL STICK . . . push the 'stick' of butter all the way down with a spoon, knife, your hand, whatever

No, this dish is very small and will only hold 1/2 cube of butter. There is a 7 inch dish that looks just like this one, but it only holds one cube. I am not aware of a similar one that holds 2 cubes.

It will hold much more that 12. Maybe double that. It fits a large cookie sheet. The cookies will cook separate with no worries. You will love using it!

1 and 1/2 sticks will fit fine. Let the butter soften and then pack it in with a teaspoon.

Yes, it does hold an entire stick of butter! And, as for the water, I fill it up with approximately 1/3 the full amount and, since it is left out on my kitchen counter - right near the sink - I change the water every 2nd day. The butter doesn't touch the water exactly, I believe the water 'surrounds' the inner area of the crock keeping the crock cool. You can put the butter keeper out on your table for meals and only return it to the 1/3rd full outer crock when you are finished using it on the table. Otherwise, you'd be pulling it in and out every time a guest wanted a dab of butter and that could get very 'drippy' on your tablecloth. I hope this answered your question. I love mine and my daughter has two of them 'cooling' at all times on her counter. She has three teenage sons.

Just enough so the butter end is sealed by water and air cannot get in. Also keep in a cooler place on the counter or the butter will come out.

I love this butter dish, but I think that it holds 1/2 pound of butter successfully. If you tried to put a pound in the dish it would probably fit the bottom part of the dish but the problem would be putting the lid on without making a mess!!

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.
