What Can I Use a Butter Warmer For?

Much like its name explains, a Butter Warmer is the perfect size to warm butter and other small amounts of liquid, like tea or coffee, on the stovetop. Our Stainless Steel Butter Warmer is a small-but-mighty kitchen tool that fills the void when a saucepan is too large but a bowl is too small for getting the job done.

What’s the Difference Between a Saucepan and Butter Warmer?

The difference between our Stainless Steel Saucepans and Butter Warmers boils down to size. At only 3/4 quarts, it’s under half the size of our smallest Saucepan.

Where Can I Use a Butter Warmer?

All of our Stainless Steel Cookware is compatible on all stovetops, including induction cooktops, and is oven safe up to 800F.

The mark of a serious cook, this flavor building Butter Warmer is the one tool chefs universally swear by.

This Butter Warmer is the uncontested favorite among our chef customers—which is appropriate, considering we made it at their request. It’s designed specifically for melting, infusing, and browning butter, but is equally handy for reducing sauce, reheating coffee, and making chili crisp.

Crafted in Italy, each Stainless Clad Butter Warmer is constructed from 5 layers of metals for even heat conduction and distribution, so you can coax out the caramelized notes of browned butter without burning the milk solids. Its Saucepan-like proportions further encourage gentle, even cooking and simmering of liquids. A rolled rim allows you to pour without spilling, and our hollow Stay Cool Handle™ keeps your hands safe.

Discover the difference that over-engineered cookware makes in your most-loved meals.
