Two tools, four and a half thousand ratings between them, and a lot of kitchens that stopped replacing things.
A best-seller list is an honest answer to one question: which of these has earned its place on the most counters? These two, by a distance. They carry 4,662 ratings between them.
Large Lemon Squeezer, Stainless Steel
out of 5 3,064 ratings on Amazon Amazon’s Choice
A press that flexes under load leaves juice in the fruit. This one is full stainless steel, reinforced exactly where the cheap ones give out, with handles long enough that the press does the work instead of your grip.
It takes half a fruit at a time, not a whole one. Dishwasher safe, and covered by our lifetime guarantee.

Metal Butter Dish with Bamboo Lid
out of 5 1,598 ratings on Amazon Overall Pick
Cold butter tears bread. The iron base holds an even temperature so the butter stays at the point where it actually spreads, and the bamboo lid seals it from light and air, then doubles as a small board.
Takes a standard stick lying flat. Wide European blocks are a tighter fit, and we would rather say so here.

Why the ratings are on Amazon and not here
Because that is where they were left. We have sold on Amazon for years, and those reviews belong to the customers who wrote them, on the platform they wrote them on. We would rather point you at the real thing than paste a wall of five stars onto our own site and ask you to take our word for it.
Reviews left here will build up from scratch. That is slower and it is more honest.
