Perfect, soft butter
I've heard about using a butter bell and decided to try it. I didn't want a really big, bulky one, and this one is the perfect size. It even comes with a cute little butter spreader.It holds one stick of butter (or 1/2 cup). I used Kerrygold salted butter, softened, to the point where you can leave an indent if you squeeze the stick. Too soft and it'll be harder to spread inside the bell.To spread, make sure the bell is totally dry, use the back of a spoon and really pack that stuff in...all around the edges, and then the bottom, working your way up. You want to prevent any big air bubbles in the butter so it doesn't fall into the water reservoir.As you can see from the butter pic, I have a couple of tiny bubble holes in the butter, but it didn't make a difference. I've had this butter in the bell for about a week, It's still fresh and soft, no rancid smell at all.I keep the bell on the kitchen counter and change the water every day, to just below the fill line in the reservoir, sometimes every other day if I forget. It's best to use salted butter...it stays fresh longer, and I keep a small container of salted water in the fridge to use when I change the water, as salt is a natural preservative.Obviously, it's working because after nearly a week on the kitchen counter during 85 degree temps outside, the butter is still perfectly soft and fresh with no mold or rancid smell.So if you're tired of ripping your bread or muffins to shreds trying to spread cold butter, then you need this butter bell. It's a game changer!

Great crock
I have always wanted to try one and I found this and was excited to try it. It works well! The line on the base shows where to fill with water, it really keeps the butter soft, holds one stick of butter just fine, and so easy to clean.

Beautifully made
I don’t know how I ever got through life without one of these. It matches my decor. It’s very pretty. It’s very well-made. My butter can sit on the counter for weeks and never spoil. It holds an entire stick of butter and I get so many compliments on it

Always have spreadable butter ready to go!
This butter crock has been both useful and a conversation piece. I get compliments on it all the time—it's a pretty little addition to the kitchen counter and works just as well as it looks. The spreader is a nice bonus too.It holds one stick of butter perfectly. To refill it, I just leave a stick out until it softens, then use the wrapper to press it into the crock—easy and mess-free. I change the water about once a week and have never had any problems. The butter stays fresh and spreadable, and I love having spreadable butter on the ready. Definitely recommend if you want something functional and nice to look at.

Nice butter crock
Cute and convenient to keep butter soft. I noticed if you dont change the water every few days mold develops.

Keeps butter soft when you go to use it, creates a nice seal with the water.

Soft Butter, No Fridge Needed
I like the concept of this butter crock - it keeps butter soft and spreadable right on the counter. The way it works is actually pretty clever: the butter sits upside down in the lid and the water in the base forms an airtight seal, which blocks out oxygen and keeps it fresh at room temperature. But here’s the catch - you have to change the water often. The instructions say every other day, but after forgetting for a week and ending up with a fuzzy science experiment, I now change it daily just to be safe. Since then, it’s been working perfectly.
