butter sizes actually fit this dish","entries":{"half_stick_portions":"Individually wrapped 56 g (2 oz) half‑sticks of butter — commonly found in Canadian supermarket dairy cases — measure roughly 2.25 inches long, making them an untrimmed drop‑in fit for this small dish and eliminating the need to portion a full stick."}},"dishwasher_care_and_glass":{"title":"Dishwasher use and long‑term care for glass butter dishes","entries":{"glass_lid":"The matching lid is made of the same transparent glass as the base and is equally dishwasher safe, so you can clean both pieces together without worrying about warping or separate hand-washing.","4_inch_length":"The dish measures just 4 inches long, so it fits easily on the top rack of a standard dishwasher, where glass items are safest from the heating element and less likely to be knocked over by heavier cookware.","non_porous_glass_construction":"Because glass is naturally non-porous, it doesn't absorb food odors or flavors — even after repeated dishwasher cycles, the dish won't carry the scent of garlic or herb butter, unlike some plastics or woods."},"entry_quotes":{"non_porous_glass_construction":[{"url":"https://www.kilnerjar.co.uk/0025350-butter-dish/","quote":"Glass is BPA free and does not absorb odours, flavours or

butter dishes","entries":{"matching_glass_lid":"The matching transparent glass lid, rather than plastic, eliminates staining and retains clarity over time, a feature typically associated with dishes in the $20–$40 range, effectively upgrading the user experience at a budget price.","dishwasher_safe_rating":"Dishwasher safe construction means the dish can handle regular high-heat cycles without the warping or clouding that affects plastic-lidded alternatives, preserving the clean look and hygiene that make glass desirable for butter storage.","glass_at_a_plastic_price":"At 10 CAD, this butter dish delivers a fully glass body and lid at a price point where most alternatives switch to plastic or acrylic, making it a rare standout for those seeking an inert, odor-resistant container without paying a mid-tier premium.","simons_maison_private_label":"As an in-house Simons Maison product, the brand eliminates intermediary markups by selling directly through its own retail channel, channeling cost savings into material quality — glass over plastic — rather than a brand name premium.","compact_dimension_9_5_x_7_5_x_10_cm":"Measuring 9.5 x 7.5 x 10 cm, the dish is intentionally sized for half-sticks, European butter blocks, or artisan butters, trading the standard 1-cup capacity for a smaller footprint that fits cramped countertops and compact fridges — a deliberate trade-off that doubles as a cost-saving measure."}},"glass_butter_storage_benefits":{"title":"Glass vs other materials for butter freshness","entries":{"non_porous_glass_surface":"Because glass is non-porous, it doesn't absorb moisture, oils, or bacteria from the butter the way plastic (which can develop microscopic scratches) or unglazed ceramic can, so the surface stays sanitary and the butter's integrity is preserved without scrubbing.","dishwasher_safe_durability":"Unlike many plastics that warp or cloud after repeated machine-wash cycles, glass butter dishes withstand high-heat sanitizing washes indefinitely while maintaining their optical clarity and smooth surfaces, which also avoids the buildup of butter residue in micro-cracks.","transparency_for_freshness":"The fully transparent dish lets you check the butter level at a glance, eliminating the need to lift the lid — each closure preserves the cooler, slightly higher-humidity microclimate that forms inside, slowing the onset of rancidity and surface drying.","chemical_inertness_with_fats":"Glass is chemically inert and will not leach compounds into the butter even during prolonged contact, a concern with some plastic storage products where fatty foods can absorb migrating chemicals — with glass, the butter remains exactly as composed.","odor_and_flavor_transfer_resistance":"Glass does not retain strong odors from compound butters or pungent dairy, meaning the dish won't taint a fresh stick with garlic or truffle residue from the previous batch — a frequent drawback of plastic containers where oils penetrate the surface."}}}},"handle":"small-rectangular-butter-dish-21137-5252100","storefront_path":"/en/kitchen-dining/serveware/small-rectangular-butter-dish--21137-5252100","storefront_url":"https://ai.simons.ca/en/kitchen-dining/serveware/small-rectangular-butter-dish--21137-5252100"}}
