Know before you buy
The keeper uses a water-seal method. By filling the base with a small amount of cold water, the inverted bell 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 1.5 standard East Coast sticks of butter. It is ideal for households that go through butter regularly but want to keep a portion soft and ready for use.
The dish is crafted from durable ceramic stoneware with a semi-matte finish. While it is robust, like all ceramic, it should be handled with care to avoid impact against hard surfaces like granite or marble countertops.
For the best results and optimal freshness, it is recommended to change the water every two to three days. Using cold, fresh water helps maintain the seal and keeps the butter at a consistent, spreadable temperature.
Yes, the dish is fully dishwasher safe. Its durable ceramic construction allows for easy cleanup without compromising the integrity of the finish.
When packed firmly into the bell, the butter will stay in place due to its density. Ensure the butter is at room temperature when you pack it to remove any air pockets, which helps it adhere securely to the inside of the lid.
