| 释义 |
A butter dish is defined as "a usually round or rectangular dish often with a drainer and a cover for holding butter at table".[1] Before refrigerators existed, a covered dish made of crystal, silver, or china housed the butter.[2] The first butter dish was made by Simpson, Hall, Miller, and Co. around 1880 in Connecticut, out of silver.[3] These butter dishes were made to hold the traditional round shape of butter at the time and came with an "ice chamber" to keep the butter cold.[4] Another type of butter dish, a French butter dish, keeps butter fresh by using water to keep the butter away from the air, thereby keeping it fresh.[5] The water is placed into the base of the dish and the butter is put into a bell-shaped lid, creating an air seal.[6] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Butter Dish|url=https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/butter%20dish|website=Merriam Webster|accessdate=18 June 2017}} {{cooking-tool-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|title=Dean's Corner-Butter Dishes and Butter: A History|url=http://www.replacements.com/thismonth/archive/v1402t.htm|website=Replacements, Ltd.|accessdate=18 June 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Butter Dish|url=http://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nmah_300949|website=The National Museum of American History|accessdate=18 June 2017}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=What is the history of the silver butter dish and how is it used?|url=https://beverlybremersilver.wordpress.com/2009/10/07/what-is-the-history-of-the-silver-butter-dish-and-how-is-it-used/|website=Beverly Bremer Silver Shop|accessdate=18 June 2017}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=French Butter Dishes|url=https://itotd.com/articles/215/french-butter-dishes/|website=Interesting Thing of the Day|accessdate=18 June 2017}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=French Butter Dish|url=http://www.frenchbutterdish.com/FAQ.php|website=James Sloss Pottery|accessdate=18 June 2017}} 1 : Serving and dining |
