I had never heard of or seen this type of dish before but I thought it looked different and kind of cool.Works great! Love the way it looks on my counter and people have asked "what is that? " I show them and they were impressed. Keeps the butter soft enough for easy spreading but firm enough to keep it in place all summer without spoiling. I may look to give some of these out as Christmas gifts!

This small crock with the word "butter" printed on the side has my friends and family utterly confounded. Being uncultured rubes, most do not find the butter packed up inside the hanging bell of the lid. They find only water inside the crock. This works great for keeping others out of my softened butter. This is simultaneously the most pretentious and most rustic item in my home. I love everything about it.

This butter bell is awesome. Take out a stick of butter from fridge, set it on counter for a couple hours and when it is nice and soft, take a teaspoon and scoop the butter into the butter bell while pressing it in and spreading it evenly until it reaches almost to top. I put a small ice cube with cold water in the bottom dish and place the top with the butter in it upside down into the cold water and wallaaaa! You have cool spreadable butter every am for breakfast or great when making grilled cheese! When it is empty, just wipe it out with paper towel, wash it quick, dry it and re- fill with a new stick. I tell my boys, when you finish all the butter in the butter bell, just take out a cold stick from fridge and leave them out on counter so i know it is time to re-fill! It is so cute, holds over a stick of butter, and is small enough to leave out on counter without taking up alot of space. Your butter always ready to spread!

I'm going to start this review with, "I'm not using this the way you're supposed to."I really like this crock. It keeps the butter covered while out on the counter, and it's heavier and sturdier than every butter dish I've tried. I have three dogs, and dog hair flying around the house is pretty much a guarantee. This crock is keeping out all the dog hair. Some butter dishes I've tried don't seal all the way, or they're uneven, so there are little air holes here and there.I use this crock upside down. I have a piece of buttered toast pretty much every day, sometimes twice a day. So I'm in this crock on a daily basis. Changing the water wouldn't have been a big deal, but it's pretty cold outside here right now, and I keep my house pretty cool in the winter and hot in the summer. Right now, the butter is hard, whether or not I use the water part of this crock. In the summer, my butter melts on the counter, so storing it upside down would likely result in a mess for me. Most people keep their homes in what's considered a normal temperature range, so I suspect this would work perfectly for most people.I'm giving this four stars only because the description states it keeps your butter nice and spreadable, and that's simply not true in all cases (I was skeptical when I bought this, but it cost half as much as the ceramic butter dish I was considering). So if you're someone who keeps your house around 60 in the colder months, this crock will not keep your butter spreadable. But it will keep your butter just as fresh as a butter dish, and it does look fantastic on the counter (takes up less horizontal space, too!). Thanks to the width of the base of the part that holds the butter, the whole thing seems fairly sturdy upside down. I'm clumsy, especially in the kitchen in the morning, and I have yet to knock over this crock.

We don’t like putting our butter in the fridge between using as the butter gets too hard to use. This crock keeps the butter just as fresh as if kept in the fridge but at the perfect spreading consistency. Butter tastes very fresh now.

I personally love butter on my toast and crumpets..This product solves the problem of having to soften the butter first in order to make it spreadable...Easy to use...simply wash before use...Dry then pour about an inch of cold water into the base unit then pack half a 250g stick of ( i prefer salted ) butter into the other half and your good to go...I find its easier if you leave the half stick of butter out of the fridge for a couple of hours which softens it and makes it easier to pack into the container..Pack it in tightly with the back of a spoon to make sure there are no air bubbles etc...Then just change the water every 3 or 4 days. The butter out of the unit is easily spreadable and the water creates an airtight seal which keeps the butter fresh for up to 30 days....Butter and water do not mix so when you lift the top of the container to scrape some butter out any water just drips off leaving you with lovely spreadable butter !!! Sorry i nearly forgot...when you first wash out the product and every time thereafter...after washing hold the top part of the unit under the running cold tap...this prevents the unit retaining any heat which might cause the newly packed in butter to fall out. One last thing.. this and most of all the other Butter bells out there hold half of a 250g pack of butter = 125g..Doesnt seem a lot but each refill on mine usually lasts around 2 weeks

冬は冷蔵庫に入れると常温に戻すのが大変でしたが、これはいつでもいい感じの柔らかさで、さっとパンにも塗れちゃいます。ノンストレス。ただ、夏場は心配なので使っていません。このブルーの色もなかなか良いです。
