11 Game-Changing Butter Dishes and Gadgets We Love

Some of my colleagues here at The Kitchn and at our sister site Apartment Therapy are fans of swapping out products’ packagings for aesthetically pleasing storage containers. This has also been a big home trend in general, with internet influencers pushing everyone to forego their store-bought cereal boxes in favor of sleek plastic containers, or to throw out their Q-tip packaging and place cotton swabs in chic little glass holders, instead. In many cases, I feel like this trend can get pretty wasteful. But one instance in which I think it’s fully warranted is when it comes to storing and using butter.

Of all the bad grocery packaging out there, butter packaging has to be one of the most finicky and troublesome examples. As a result, you really are best off taking your sticks out of their annoying wax paper and placing them in one of the editor-loved tubs below. We even included some tools that’ll help you spread the essential ingredient without issue, as well as containers that’ll help it stay fresh for weeks. We swear by these finds, and we think you, too, will appreciate them a great deal.
