Know before you buy
The crock uses a water-seal design. By adding a small amount of water to the base, you create an airtight seal that prevents oxygen from reaching the butter, keeping it soft and fresh at room temperature for up to 30 days.
This crock holds 1/2 cup of butter, which is equivalent to one standard stick (125 grams). It is designed specifically to accommodate this amount perfectly.
Yes, New Bone China is known for its high strength and chip resistance. It is a durable, high-quality ceramic that is perfectly suited for daily kitchen use and is completely dishwasher safe.
No, the crock is completely lead and cadmium free. You can use it with confidence knowing it meets safety standards for food-contact items.
For the best results, we recommend refreshing the water in the base every two to three days. This ensures the seal remains clean and the butter stays fresh.
