Manteigueira

It’s rare to find a butter dish that actually survives the microwave without cracking, but this stoneware one handles the heat and cold without a problem. The two-stick European design fits perfectly in my fridge door, and it looks nice enough to leave out on the table for guests.

I was a little skeptical about how the stoneware would hold up in the microwave, but it came out completely fine and looked great on the table. The European design fits two sticks perfectly side by side, so it's been my go-to for prepping butter ahead of dinner parties.

The stoneware is surprisingly sturdy and the microwave-to-table transition is seamless—I've reheated butter for baking and taken it straight to the dinner table without any fuss. Two sticks fit perfectly side by side, and the European style looks elegant enough to leave out.
