Butter: It’s an integral part of many recipes. And, slathering it on homemade bread or mashed potatoes is an absolute must. But since this important ingredient is a fat, it tends to absorb the odors of any nearby food. So, storing butter properly to keep it from tasting like the onion next to it in the refrigerator is essential. 

You can store butter in the refrigerator or on the counter, but it should be kept in the right vessel for either scenario. Thankfully, there are several options out there, and we’ve rounded up six of the best options, including butter dishes, crocks, and reusable storage bags that will keep your butter tasting the way it should — starting at just $6.

Kitchendao Butter Dish

This butter dish by Kitchendao is reminiscent of the one that was used during my childhood, but with one exception: it has a built-in sealing ring that keeps it sealed tight. No odors will get in this dish so your butter stays fresh. The ramps on the ends of the holder make it easy to get the butter out, by letting you scoop it up. And, the see-through top allows you to see just how much butter is left in the container. Over 10,000 shoppers grabbed this butter dish in the past month. Get one for yourself while it’s 23% off.

PriorityChef French Butter Crock

If you like soft, spreadable butter, consider this PriorityChef French butter crock. Fill the top piece with butter and place water up to the water line to create an airtight seal once the lid’s on. There’s no need to put it in the fridge either. This crock adds a stylish flair to any kitchen counter, and the butter is soft and ready to be smeared on a slice of sourdough bread or a blueberry muffin. Many colors are on sale, but choose it in yellow for 33% off.

Stasher Silicone Reusable Storage Bag

Grab this Stasher silicone storage bag instead of a plastic storage bag, as it can be used over and over again. This 12-ounce bag is ideal for stashing a full or partially used stick of butter in before putting it in the refrigerator. It seals up tightly and is leakproof, airtight, and durable, plus this silicone bag can be tossed in the dishwasher to get it ready for the next time around.

Bee’s Wrap Reusable Beeswax Food Wrap Roll

Beeswax paper is another great alternative to store butter in, and this roll by Bee’s Wrap ensures you only cut off the amount you need. Unlike parchment paper or plastic wrap, beeswax is reusable. One shopper said they use it to wrap “homemade butter and cookie dough” and that it’s “the best for storing food.” It comes in three delightful designs too.

Food Huggers Butter Hugger

We’ve all been known to throw that stick of butter back in the fridge that has been partially used. Unfortunately, the paper that kept it wrapped and fresh has now been opened. This butter hugger is the ideal solution to cover it up. Made of silicone, this small cover flexes and fits snugly around the end of the stick of butter. You can even stand the stick up on its end so it can save space and be found more easily in the refrigerator. “[It] perfectly covers the remaining stick and keeps it fresh until you need it,”  noted one reviewer. Just make sure the rest of the stick’s wrapper is still intact.

Dowan Large Butter Dish

For those times when you need room for a few sticks of butter, or you’re buying a block of European butter, this large butter dish by Dowan checks off all of the boxes. It can hold up to three standard sticks of butter or one wider stick. With this dish on the table, there’s plenty for a larger group enjoying a meal. It has a ceramic base and sports an acacia wood top that has a silicone sealing ring to keep your butter airtight and fresh.
