Abstract: A plastic container is designed to hold a conventional one quarter pound stick of butter. The butter may be removed from its commerical packaging and inserted into the container for storage. The container includes a slidably movable base which can be utilized to eject the stick of butter from the container in a selective manner, and measurement marks are provided along the container to allow a user to determine the amount of butter sticking out of the container. A cap member is used to reinsert the butter into the container and to effectively seal it until further use.
