How much butter does this hold?

It holds ONE FULL STICK . . . push the 'stick' of butter all the way down with a spoon, knife, your hand, whatever

The butter dish is 7 3/4" long X 4"w x 2 3/4"h with the cover in place. It nicely holds a stick of butter (1/4 lb). I like the weight of the dish because it tends to keep the butter cooler even if not refrigerated.

will it hold a true pound of butter, without cutting off any of the butter?

Just over 3 Tablespoons; I do add it to my dry ingredients and then replace the buttermilk with water- works fine if you whisk dry ingredients first to prevent lumps.

Sorry, but don't know. Simply have never tried using it for this, or any other butters yet. Great for everything we have tried thus far though.

Yes--it does hold a full stick of butter. Pack it in with a spoon while it's still cold; it will be pretty level with the top of the "bell." You use 1/3 cup of water, and that amount forms a seal with the "bell," regardless of the amount of butter in the bell. It works great; I really like mine. :-)

I put about 1/3 cup. I also read thru the responses and add a few shakes of salt. When you put the stick of butter in, make sure it soft and pack it in.

It's a 12 oz container, which equates to 24 1 tbsp servings. Each serving is 100 calories, all 100 of which are from fat. So, you've got 200 calories per oz. FYI, this is real butter, and the stuff in my refrigerator has exactly the same ingredient list and nutrition info.

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

I use one stick of softened butter (which is 1/4 lb or 1/2 cup) - it works perfectly.

The kids just broke our measuring tape, but it is enough for a stick of butter. Probably 7in long and 4in high where the head of the cow is. I love my cow butter dish... haha.. :)

the bottom piece where you place your stick of butter is 7-1/4" long and 4-3/4" across. The lid is 3"across and 5-3/4" long with the lid on it's 2-1/2" high, it holds a standard stick of butter nicely. Hope this helps.

Just one pat of butter...probably best to use 2 + for a dinner party..thought it held more.

I purchased the five cup one and you could definitely store a big block of butter in it. Unsure about the 2 cupper.

sorry this took so long, my daughter liked it so much she "borrowed" it. the bottom dish where you place your butter is7-1/4" in length and it's 4-3/4" across. The lid of course is a bit smaller 3" across and 5-3/4" long. with the lid on it's about 2-1/2" high. this butter dish holds one stick of butter......I hope this helps.

Depending on the warmth of the house, it may still fall out. I put a little water and ice chips in then if need be, the next day stick the butter back into its little cup and put fresh water and ice in. Works like a charm and the water doesn't hurt the butter. My house is about 83-85 in the daytime while I'm at work (109 outside) and having soft butter at dinner while the house is cooling is still well worth the extra effort. Good luck!
