Is it large enough to hold two "west coast" sticks of butter?

It's large enough to hold 2 "east coast" sticks of butter. I live in the east so I don't know what you mean but 2 standard sticks (1/2 lb) fit side by side just fine, but I think it is too short for 2 sticks on top of hach other to fit but almost.

5 1/4" long by 3" wide is the very closest I can get for you because the lines on the inside are slightly curved, but ever so slightly. I have two of these containers. I am able to put two butter sticks in one of them or a full 8 oz. cream cheese. I use the butter one daily and the cream cheese one on occasion when we are going to have bagels. So glad I have two of them. You will enjoy this item.

Hi Kara. It is not necessarily messy. The problem is cutting the butter the right size/height to fit. I love the dish but wish it were average size for a stick of butter. Just a little more trouble than it's worth.

IMO it would be too messy for that. But, sure it will hold butter. Have you tried a butter bell? It's shaped the same way and is designed to hold butter.

As near as I can tell using a tape measure, the internal tray where the butter sits is 5.0" long x 2.9" wide x 1.5" deep. The corners of the tray are rounded, and the lid has about 0.4" clearance above the tray near the sides. I estimate the largest rectangular stick of butter that will fit, without touching anything but the bottom, is about 4.5" x 2.6" x 1.8".

It is big enough and easily strong enough to hold smaller pots and pans and their lids. It is not big enough to hold cookie sheets.

I think it should be fine. Mine came in a zipped bag - like a ziploc. The bag was rather large so there was plenty of space for the bar of shea butter.

The dish will comfortably hold something 6 cm wide and 10 cm long. You would get a better answer if you stated the dimensions rather than weight of butter.

Buy the smaller butter dish. The X-Large is way too large for a standard stick of butter.

Nope. It will only hold 1 stick. It is about a stick and a half (maybe a little less) wide.

The butter dish fits a stick of butter that is 1 inch wide and 4.5 inches long. (8TBSP)

Yes, with plenty of space left over. You could probably fit two of them in it.

Actually I never used it because I didn't like the seam down the length of the top. But I would guess it did hold a lb. of butter.

No. It's extremely heavy and well made but it appears to have been designed to handle 225g of butter (most European butter is packaged this way). It will not hold two traditional US quarters.

This keeper will hold one typical stick of (salted/un-salted) butter. I found that olive oil based butter doesn't have the consistency to hold in the keeper when the lid is flipped upside down. You'll end up with buttery water. lol

Their is enough room to put two crock pots. I would think so. The shelf is adjustable. I must say I love this island.

Yes. This dish is excellant for 1/4 lb sticks of butter. It is perfect. I prefer this holder over glass dishes. I have a few of them so that one can be in the dishwasher while another is filled. I use a second holder for half sticks of olive oil + butter sticks.
