Can you store two sticks of butter in this dish? (side by side).

No, but there is enough space to add a new stick of butter (end to end) next to one that is more than half-gone. The width is fit to a single stick of butter.
1799133
Nope. It will only hold 1 stick. It is about a stick and a half (maybe a little less) wide.
1799134
No, it isn't wide enough. It is perfect for one stick & there is a little extra room (length wise) for a small piece you may have left over.
1799135
No. The dimensions of the butter dish are ideal for only one stick of butter.

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!!

I'm not sure on the pricing but I love this dish it holds 2 sticks of butter perfect.

It hold a cube of butter . Not wide enough to hold 2 side by side but can hold about 1 and 1/2 long ways

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.

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

Let one stick of butter soften and add to the cup. With the water in the bottom it can stay on your counter, so you always have soft butter.

I've not needed to only use one side. If the 2nd one isn't needed, refrigerate it & microwave it layer.

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.

This keeper will hold one typical stick of (salted/un-salted) butter. I found that olive oil based butter doesn't have the consistency to hold in the keeper when the lid is flipped upside down. You'll end up with buttery water. lol

Would be large enough for a side dish - like potatoes or broccoli - but not big enough for two people for a main dish.

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.

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.

Yes, let your stick of butter warm to room temperature and then 'pack' it into the dish. In the larger vessel, you put about 3/8" of water, this effectively seals out any air from coming in contact with your soft butter. As long as the room temperature is below the melting point of the butter it will not fall out of the inner vessel.

Yes--it does hold a full stick of butter. Pack it in with a spoon while it's still cold; it will be pretty level with the top of the "bell." You use 1/3 cup of water, and that amount forms a seal with the "bell," regardless of the amount of butter in the bell. It works great; I really like mine. :-)

I links is about one stick of butter plus a quarter---I am a little confused as to what this dishes supposed to do------- my understanding is that you put some water in the dish below and set the actual butter dish on top----I just haven't figured out what the difference is between a regular dish and this one----my question to you is ask them what's so special about this dish

Sorry, but I've never tried adding butter, etc. Actually, I don't remember reading that on the wrapping. It would have raised a red flag for me since some times I will lightly grease non-stick pans.
