  1. No one hurt

    Made Sep 18, 2012, sent to the company Sep 26, 2012, published by CPSC Oct 18, 2012

    The product, in the report: Butter Boat The “Boat” part of the butter boat that floats in the base containing water, is supposed to be unglazed on the bottom. It isn’t. It is glazed. This product is made in China. Instead of leaving unglazed the underside of the floating “boat” that actually holds the butter , they left the underside of the base unglazed (the part that sits on the counter). The quality control on this product is clearly non existent. When I received this product and compared what it said on the card board container with the product itself I just shook my head in disgust. They manufacturers have made it worthless in keeping butter from getting rancid by this mistake. The base doesn’t need to be unglazed because it is sitting on the counter or table, the “boat” holding the butter and floating in the water does need to be unglazed to keep the temperature of the butter lower. They unglazed the wrong part of this product, making it worthless.

    I bought a Silvermark Butter Boat, blue from Amazon.com. When I received it noticed the product description as follows on the box:

    “The porous characteristics of the unglazed porcelain on the underside of the “boat” allows the water to slowly evaporate which helps to keep the temperature of the contents lower.”

    This is false advertising.

    The “boat” is completely glazed (including the underside) so it will not help keep the temperature of the contents (the stick of butter) lower.

    I tried to find Silvermark on the internet unsuccessfully to ask for an explanation.

    Please contact Silvermark. This product is made in China, and Silvermark’s quality control on this product is egregious.

    People don’t leave butter out in warm weather because it will get rancid. This butter boat, based on what they say, give the illusion that this won’t happen, when their faulty manufacturing insures that it will.
