Definitely do not put it in the dishwasher. We're on our third slicer because the kids put the first two in the dishwasher. I repeat, this is NOT dishwasher safe!

We served baked potatoes for a Lenten meal to about 80 people. Sam's did not have individual butter pats--apparently they only carry it during holidays. I lost my original cutter in Katrina, so ordered this one. It worked well and we all thought it did a good job. We just had to be careful to place it correctly on the stick of butter. Once it cut through, we had to turn it over and press the other side to get the rest of the butter through, but it was not that much trouble.
Clean up was relatively easy. A little hot water and Dawn did the trick.
Yes, I would order this again.
As so many people have said, do NOT put this in the dishwasher. In fact, you can just run it under very hot water to clean it, then carefully wipe dry. The wires are good and tight, and the handles don't hurt my painfully arthritic hands. Works fine with cold butter, but I wouldn't use it on a frozen stick. And two of the slices equal almost exactly 1 tablespoon, so if you're exercising portion control, it's an added plus.
If mine lasts as long as my sister's has (about 10 years), I'll be a very happy camper.

I've only owned this for a few weeks, but I've already found it easy to use and not too big to store in a kitchen drawer. The phalanges on the sides keep your hands from getting all buttery.
I would recommend this to anyone who loves baking or is on the BulletProof diet.
