Butter left in a clear dish on a sunlit table develops the flat, slightly cheesy taste of oxidation faster than the same butter under something opaque. \u003cstrong\u003eSteel is the simplest possible answer to that, because it is completely opaque and it does not absorb the fat the way an unglazed cover would.\u003c\/strong\u003e The porcelain underneath does the other half, being non-porous and easy to bring back to clean white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAn Individual Portion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree and a half inches across holds a little under two and a half ounces, which is a serving rather than a supply. That size choice follows from the same logic as the cover: butter kept in small amounts at the table is butter that gets used before it deteriorates, while a large block sits out through several meals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSix Around a Table\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSix dishes is one for each place, and butter served that way stops being something people reach across for. It also solves a problem nobody names politely: a shared butter dish accumulates crumbs and jam from every knife that touches it over the course of a meal, and six small ones simply do not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSoftening, Storing and Washing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan butter be left out in these?\u003c\/strong\u003e Salted butter keeps at room temperature for several days under an opaque cover.
