Know before you buy
The crock uses a water-seal method. You pack softened butter into the lid and fill the base with a small amount of water, which creates an airtight seal that prevents oxygen from reaching the butter, keeping it fresh and spreadable at room temperature.
This model is designed to hold one standard US butter stick, which is equivalent to 1/2 cup or 125 grams of butter.
No, this specific Butter Bell crock is not microwave safe. You should soften your butter to room temperature before packing it into the lid.
For the best results and to maintain freshness, it is recommended to change the water in the base every two to three days.
Yes, the ceramic construction is dishwasher safe, making it easy to clean between refills.
When the butter is at the correct room temperature and packed firmly into the lid, it will stay securely in place. Avoid using butter that is too warm or oily, as it may lose its consistency and slide out.
