Butter Case

Description

Wooden butter cases are thoughtfully designed to keep butter from becoming too hard. As wood is a poor heat conductor, it helps maintain the butter’s optimal consistency, even in the cold environment of the refrigerator.



Our daily production is guided by the changing world and the needs of the people who inhabit it. To use materials effectively and minimize waste, we actively develop products using scrap wood generated during furniture manufacturing. Each butter case not only serves a functional purpose but also embodies our commitment to sustainability and thoughtful craftsmanship. Available for international shipping directly from Japan, these butter cases are a practical and eco-friendly addition to any kitchen.

  • Precautions

    *The scent of freshly made products may be be noticeable due to the natural aroma of the original wood and oil.
 The smell will dissipate over time, so please be patient as it fades with use.

    *[Replacing the butter] Please choose butter that is not packaged in a plastic container. Remove the outer paper, and place the butter directly into the butter case.
Put it directly into the butter case.


  • Handling

    *Do not place in microwave oven, oven, or dishwasher/dryer. Avoid leaving the product submerged in water for extended periods and protect it from direct sunlight. Steer clear of extreme dry conditions, such as near a stove or in a areas strongly affected by air conditioning. The product may crack if subjected to strong impacts. If the product comes in contact with iron when wet, it may discolor.
Do not use it in a place where it will be exposed to direct sunlight.



    *[Cleaning] 
Use a soft sponge and mild detergent to clean the product. Please avoid bleach, as it may cause discoloration. Washing in a dishwasher or leaving in water for long periods is not recommended as this may deform or discolor the wood. After cleaning, dry the product thoroughly before use, as using the product while it wet may lead to mold or deformation.

  • Care

    Ensure the wood products are thoroughly dried. 
Wipe the wood evenly with a small amount of dry oil (walnut oil, linseed oil, Egoma oil, etc.) applied to a cloth. 
Do not leave the oil-soaked cloth unattended, as it may spontaneously ignite. Always place the cloth in a plastic bag, moisten it with water, seal it, and dispose of it according to local regulations.
 After applying the oil, place the wood product on disposable chopsticks or a similar object and allow it to dry for at least 8 hours.
Over time,, the wood’s texture will deepen, enhancing its natural beauty.
Please note that dry oil is an edible product.
