These are actually great for keeping room temp spreadable butter. Just remember to change water and wash the bottom and top well before reuse.

How often do you change it? My mom has one of these and I think it’s cool but never really thought about it.

I have a recurring task called “rotate butter” scheduled once a month which seems about right to me.

I just found the whole process with it irritating. Just give me a ceramic butter dish with a lid. Trust me, butter doesn’t last long enough here to go bad.

Same. Honestly it got me to stop putting butter on my toast. It’s so nasty.

You lift up the lid/bell.

You put the butter in the bell part. The butter sticks. You then put some water in the crock and put the bell in the crock. The bell/butter displaces some water and it prevents air from getting to the butter.

Imo it’s silly; there’s no real issue just leaving butter in a dish at room temp.
