Good luck because they are brilliant.

There are fair few people that make them so it might be worth reaching out via email and ask for plain white ones or whatever it is that matches your look. Yes, it's a bit OTT for a butter dish, but he who dies with the most kitchen gadgets wins!

Strong work sir. Strong work.

Tokyo eats. Suggestions? Thinking of a trip there in May-July sometime.

Will have a baby in tow which may or may not be a decision we'll rue.

Mobile at the mo so link just goes to the eBay app and asks me to sign in but will check this eve, ta.

Ahh... Just noticed you wanted 250g minimum size.

This is '1 stick' so only 110g if they are talking about the US size of butter.

Soz...

113g to be precise...

Let me dig out the link to the potter who made ours. A 250g block just about fits inside.

If fact I can't find any bigger than 1 stick size...

If you swap to salted butter BTW you can leave it out of the fridge far longer than unsalted.

Salted = Toast and jacket spuds.

Unsalted = Baking

Unsalted = baking and good fresh bread and all the things. Though appreciate salted has some place in life. I tend to add salt to my unsalted butter to taste.

Which brings me to my next topic: salt.

How do you store yours? A pig? Mill? Straight from the packet? Talk to me.

Maldon Salt - From the packet.

Fine ground, if baking, from a decent ceramic salt mill.

Nuff said.

On Amazon even cheaper

Nice, thank you. Am now toying with getting a matching pestle/mortar. Also need to remember this isn't 'forever house' and just cook something.

The Le Creuset salt pig is quite nice. Then you could get a matching butter dish at TK Maxx too, and not faff around with custom thrown pottery

black food colouring drops. wharr????

I was in TK Max today and they had a number of Le Creuset butter dishes.

He's done well.

Realise not what you asked for but looks good.

I wasn't being facetious, I really like it. My only concern is how butter would interact with the wood over time. Inside it might treat it so could work, but if for example you spilled some on the edge you'd have an annoying oily stain. Would probably put some work surface oil on it to match current oak worktop.

this is too good not to share
