Alfille Temperature Controlled Butter Dish

Love it. It’s super hot in summer here in the Cape Winelands and my butter always goes to oil. This works like a charm to keep it cold yet spreadable, whilst super stylish on the breakfast table. Genius. Love it.

My husband's pet hate is butter that is too hard to spread and too soft to stay out of the fridge, especially in the heat of Richards Bay. I nearly fainted at the price but I have to tell you, it is worth every cent to have butter at the perfect spreadable temperature day and night. We love the new funky cow design addition to our kitchen.

I have been looking for something like this for ages. No more rock hard butter in winter or oily smoosh in summer. The real test will be in summer to see if it can keep butter cool enough but not hard. It's quiet and stylish.
It only takes 250g of butter so you have to cut up a normal 500g brick into smaller pieces to make them fit. But that's fine. In hindsight the stainless steel lid might have been better. The plastic lid shows fingerprints easily. But so far I am really happy with this item!! Read more

Once you get the right temperature on the gauge then the product provides perfect butter time after time.

Absolutely brilliant.

Super nifty product, works well in maintaining the correct consistency of the butter.
Would recommend it, even though it is a bit pricey.

This is an amazing product and for all frustrated butter lovers out there, a 'must-have'.

No more 'rock-hard' or 'liquid' - it creates the 'just-right' spreadable butter for croissants, toast or sandwiches.

This is the perfect butter dish with the correct temperature all year round and makes it easily spreadable.

I bought a butter knife in the past to make it easy to spread but it still didn’t work as well as this. Now I can use real butter without any hassle.

A substantial amount for a butter dish, but this is not a butter dish as we (used to) know it and an investment (in our mental well-being) rather than an expense. We love butter in our household, and the frustration of butter either being too soft or too hard to use has always been an issue.
No more of that now, so the spending is more than justified by frustration elimination.

/> There is a slight whirring sound emanating from the fan at the bottom that started a few days after first using it. It is not bothersome as such, but have me doubting whether this is normal or an issue with the unit that might become worse and the only reason why I have not given it 5 stars. To be fair though I should actually contact customer support first to find out before commenting.

Regardless of that, it stays a sound investment and without a doubt an acquisition that can be highly recommended.
It is going with us on holiday this year.

I am probably more excited about this than I should be, after all, it's just a butter dish.

However it works wonderfully, no more oily liquid in the SA summer, no more rock hard unspreadable brick in winter or having to microwave it when taken from the fridge.

Always has a perfect consistency, it's expensive but recommended to all the butter lovers out there.

Perfect spread every time.

The item works well but does not fit a 500g block of butter you will have to cut the sides to make it fit.

The temperature control of the butter works very well.
The size of the dish is just to small to fit a standard brick of butter. So it creates a mess every time you add the butter to the dish.

We are delighted with our extravagant purchase. In our heat, our butter either goes off or is too hard due to being kept in the fridge.

It’s wonderful to have an appliance which keeps the butter at a perfect usable temperature.

An essential kitchen appliance works just as you'd hoped. Pity about the plasticky finish, especially the plastic feet and handle.

I had a thought one morning about something that could keep butter spreadable. But the thought alone was daunting. So many things to consider. Then I googled it, and found this little thing. I cannot believe how amazing it is! I must be honest. Perfect butter all the time! In terms of cost of electricity (that is important), it will cost somewhere between R30 and R50 (if you don't have solar) a month depending on how the outside weather is. Phenomenal product!

Bitterly dissatisfied with this product. Lid looks scratched already — cow print is poor and bleeds into the white. Haven't switched it on, but definitely returning the product.

After a very long time of agonising to justify the cost vs. my constant fight with cold butter (especially in winter) — I closed my eyes and jumped in. How wonderful to have spreadable butter — a complete luxury. It would have been extra nice if a 500g block fitted exactly — I have to cut about 150g away on the side and about 1cm off the top of the block of butter to fit the tray. If you don't scrape the top, butter will stick to the lid and make a mess. I set the temperature to one of the warmest settings as the mid setting was still too cold. I would recommend this product, but I think many people will frown at the price — including my family who think I am being a "princess and the pea". Love the now easy & spreadable butter — go figure :) Read more

I am so amazed at the simplicity of this product; yet how life-changing! We have always loved using real butter at home, but most of the time, limited it to only cooking. As you know, the common issue to spread butter on any bread is a nightmare. The butter has kept perfectly and spreads perfectly all the time. The dial underneath lets you adjust the temperature to get the right spread for you. I love the fact that it looks very awesome on the kitchen countertop, while the insert is easy to carry over to the dinner table! Love it! Read more

Mine has a plastic lid — no stainless steel.
It keeps the butter soft but the knob has to be turned way past the factory set level, almost to the limit.
