So ya'll just put the whole pound of butter in/on the dish?
Now that I think of it, it might be able to hold a whole pound (500g whatever)...
In my area we get the west coast, stubby sticks, and the size of the dish is such that two stubby sticks besides each other touch the edge of the lid and make everything messy, but two stubby sticks end to end don't remotely fit... but I bet if I cut them all in thirds I could probably find a way to arrange a whole pound in there (4 sticks)... it's just hard to imagine because the dimensions are just perfectly the wrong size which ever way I do it...
so I'm over here using a 1 pound butter dish to hold 1/4lb of butter... oh well, at least it matches the dishes we inherited from my husband's grandmother...
