I originally encountered the butter boat at my mom's - she got it from one of the TV shopper networks (naturally). I liked it so much that tried to get one of my own. What an ordeal! As I recall, there was a whole urban legend around the original Butter boat (the lady holding the patent got very sick and they stopped being produced and the patent got tangled up, right when I was trying to buy one, of course...but I digress). I finally found the Silvermark ones on Amazon and bought four of 'em. They've become legend in my family - my youngest daughter just moved away and claimed hers (made a special trip for it!), so my stash of Butter Boats is now gone!
ANYWAY, the Butter Boat performance has been described in other reviews - it really does work as advertised (maybe a bit better). No, the butter doesn't get rancid - unless you are an extremely slow butter consumer (like months or years per stick). I always preferred butter over soft margarine, but spreading refrigerated butter is a pain. No more pain!
Just two issues that I can think of. It's kinda heavy and sometimes a little bit slippery, so it's tricky to pass around the table. (Think about corn-on-the-cob night). Also, the little lift knob on the lid is a bit hard to grip - ours has been dropped several times (without breaking, fortunately!). Now all I have to do is to figure out how to keep the cats out of it at night -- they like the Butter Boat too!
This butter crock keeps the butter soft and fresh- perfect for buttering toast, english muffins, etc. No more torn up toast or waiting for the butter slices to soften up to spread!
