The 10 Best Honey Dispensers

The WMF Kult (appx. $27) may be pricey but, unlike most other options, its lid is stainless steel rather than plastic. It sports a sleek design that will blend in well with any modern kitchen decor, and it's dishwasher-safe for an easy cleanup.

The Kitchen Meister Mess-Free (about $8) come as a set of two, one with a dipper and the other with a basting brush. Their tight-fitting closures keep insects and contaminants out, and they won't take up much space if you want to leave them on the counter.

Made of sturdy, but lightweight, acrylic, the DispenseMe Shatter Proof (about $10) is kid-friendly and simple to use. It stops pouring once you let go of the trigger, so you won't end up with a sticky mess, and it comes with a stopper to prevent it from leaking in between uses.

If you care more about function than form, consider the Fifo Squeeze Bottle. It's not much to look at, but it has a wide mouth that makes it a cinch to fill, is durable enough to stand up to frequent use and, at less than $10, it's very easy on the wallet.

Featuring a fun beehive shape with a honeycomb pattern, the Norpro Honey/Syrup (about $13) is just as attractive as it is useful. Its thumb lever is easy to use, and its glass base can be filled with warm water to prevent crystallization around the spout.

The Mary Lake-Thompson Ceramic Pot (around $15) features several embossed, hand-painted bees, including one that serves as a knob on the lid. It’s covered in a food-safe glaze and will hold up well in both the microwave and the dishwasher.

The Good Cook Glass (around $12) sports an airtight plastic lid with a spout that closes completely when you let go of the trigger, preventing it from dripping. The carafe can be microwaved, making it a breeze to melt any crystallized bits.

Playfully designed with a ribbed beehive shape, the Studio Silversmiths Crystal Jar (around $16) comes with a thick, stable base and a six-inch wooden dipper. This handcrafted selection stands five inches tall and can hold up to 12 ounces.

The Mkono Jar (appx. $14) boasts an all-glass construction, so you don't have to worry about any cheap plastic parts that can break easily. A groove allows you to close the top with the dipper inside, and it looks nice sitting on your counter or breakfast table.

With its shiny chrome top, the American Metalcraft Beehive (about $6) will add an old-school, classic diner vibe to your kitchen. It's suitable for both home and restaurant use, and the spring-controlled lid won't leak or drip after you've finished pouring.
