Butter Bell - The Original Butter Bell crock by L Tremain, a Countertop French Ceramic Butter Dish Keeper for Spreadable Butter, Le Bistro, White with Blue Trim

A beautiful and functional ornament for the kitchen. This is a classic and well constructed piece with good aesthetics. It is large enough to hold about one stick of butter. It is used in conjunction with water in the base which help to preserve the butter - so make sure you don’t skip this step. We leave it on our counter and the butter has perfect softness and freshness, and we typically will keep it about one week on the counter without any issues.

You can have soft, real butter by using a crock like this Butter Bell. It is kept outside the refrigerator and keeps the butter spreadable without rancidity (assuming you use it up in a few weeks?). You take a stick of butter, let it soften a little outside the refrigerator, then squish it into the top part of the Bell. You put a third of a cup of cold water in the bottom, and it acts like a seal to keep the air out, as I understand it. Apparently you don't have to put cold water in it everyday, although I renew the cold water every few days. It has worked well so far. No more putting hard chunks of butter on my morning toast!

Love this. If a butter bell can add a touch of elegance to a kitchen, this is the one to do it. We had a black one that was just too dark for the kitchen. This is just so pretty, with the gold trim and matches various touches in our kitchen to keep a "dialogue" going aesthetically in the room :)

Very nice well-made quality works perfectly would definitely purchase again

Butter stays fresh and at room temperature - ready to spread on your favorite toast, muffin or pancake. I wasn't sure when I ordered it for Christmas presents, but my daughters and granddaughters loved them, so I bought one for myself. I am delighted with mine.

Works great! Just don’t forget to change the water every 3 days! Easy enough to clean and truly holds a full stick of butter.

What every butter dish should be. Keeps butter fresh but still soft and ready to spread. Beautiful too! So happy with this purchase!

Lifting a slippery lid from a butter dish can be a risky proposition and annoying as all get out. I often left the butter uncovered to avoid it. After several trial and errors with different butter dishes, I read a review of this butter bell in a cooking newsletter and after browsing a large selection of colors and designs I bought this one. It’s a bargain because I no longer a worry about the lid slipping out of my hand. The bonus is it looks so nice on my kitchen counter and my butter no longer gets too soft to stay on a knife or too hard to spread.

This looks lovely. Be aware that it holds just 1/4 pound of butter but takes up as much space on your table as brands that hold twice as much.

Great item. While I feared rancid butter if left out of the refigerator, I also found trying to spread cold, refrigerated butter less than satisfactory. Now, the butter bell ensures that butter stays fresh and delightfully spreadable. It also compliments my kitchen decor, is small enough to sit on the countertop or easily fits into a cupboard if I want to stash it away. I am so pleased with it, I purchased two more for Christmas gift add-ons!

Una maravilla si cocinas seguido. Cambio de agua frecuente y no esperes que la mantequilla dure meses. Es para comodidad, no para conservar la mantequilla. Así que checa que esté fresca.

We use it every day. Butter doesn't sour or yellow outside of the fridge. Would purchase this for friends as a present.

calidad, elegante buena relación precio / calidad
