The original Butter Bell crock keeps butter soft, delicious and spreadable for up to 30 days without refrigeration. Through the study of traditional and historical butter storage methods and hours of product development, L. Tremain, Inc. has created a line of butter crocks that are a tribute to the original French butter crock or "beurrier" (pronounced bur-e-ay). Made from durable stoneware or dolomite clays, the Butter Bell crocks will safely keep butter fresh and spreadable without refrigeration, odors or spoilage. The Butter Bell's unique design enhances butter's delicate flavor, while providing a practical and decorative solution for storing and serving butter. It keeps butter at the perfect "spreading" consistency by reflecting outside heat while insulating and cooling the butter. Flavor and freshness is protected by an airtight seal of water at the base of the crock. Water should be changed out every three days and replaced with fresh, cold water. Store the crock away from heat or sunlight. To use, firmly pack softened butter into the bell-shaped lid, pour cold water into the base of the crock and place the lid upside down back into the base of the crock. The white raised floral Butter Bell crock is a traditional white crock decorated with a raised floral pattern and features the word "Butter" on one side and "Beurre" on the other. This classic crock can go from the kitchen to the tabletop. Dishwasher safe.

I would suggest buying two butter bells. This way you can have the second one ready to go when the first one is about to run out.

Butter crockDec 28, 2009
By R. Jennings "The Gun Guy®"
This item is worthy of your consideration. The "top" will accept a full stick (1/4-lb) of butter which, when inverted and inserted into the "bottom" is sealed against outside air by the cool water you have added (approx 1/3-cup) to the crock. The instructions caution that the water should be replaced at least every three days. The only "rub" I have about the item is that it would have been very helpful to have a cast-in line on the inside to show the proper fill level for the water. If you add too little, there will be no air-tight seal created; too high and the butter gets "wet." I added a line to the interior of my crock with a permanent marker, just for ease of refilling. The crock, especially with the wide range of styles and colors available, makes a nice addition to your counter top.

Butter Bell Class White Raised Floral CrockAug 05, 2010
By donnar53
This product is amazing! I live in Florida and during the warmer months, butter will melt and separate if left at room temperature. No more hard butter from the fridge for toast! Simply put one stick of butter in the top of the crock, add a small amount of water to the bottom, invert the top and insert. Your butter will be soft for spreading, but no melting or separating. Butter is kept very fresh. The crock arrived within the promised shipping time and in perfect condition. I highly recommend this product!

So glad I tried itMar 30, 2011

This product is great! I grew up eating real butter and always questioned my mom's judgement in leaving it out in a butter dish. This is the perfect solution for those of us who love real butter but find it hard to live with.
When picking a butter bell, I read reviews about stoneware's crackling finish that made me choose one with a shiny enamel finish- less porous was my choice. Don't be afraid of the need to change water every two or three days- I leave this by my sink and do it without thinking. I would recommend to friends. This is a unique gift item for the person who has everything.

Received one as a gift and thought it was the greatest idea. Love having soft butter right on my countertop. Now I give them as gifts.
