Designed in California, the ButterBox is a logical and completely unique evolution of a ubiquitous kitchen accessory; the common butter dish. The ButterBox is a butter dish and applicator that takes up 1/3 the space of a typical butter dish by storing butter upright. It is designed to go from the refrigerator to countertop in seconds, and has unique features that enable butter to be loaded and stored with the wrapper on, and to be removed as needed using the integrated serrated cutting edge. Advancing butter is achieved by gently pushing butter sticks with the index finger. Food-safe and high-temperature tolerant materials are utilized to enable safe storage, and use of the ButterBox for applying butter to foods and to hot cooking surfaces.
