Know before you buy
The crock uses a water-seal design. You pack 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 half a cup or one-quarter pound of butter.
For the best results, you should refresh the water in the base every two to three days. This ensures the seal remains clean and the butter stays fresh.
The Butter Bell is crafted from durable, high-quality ceramic. While it is sturdy enough for daily kitchen use, it should be handled with the same care as any other ceramic dishware to avoid accidental chips or cracks.
Yes, the entire crock is dishwasher safe, making it easy to clean between refills.
When packed correctly at room temperature, the butter will adhere firmly to the inside of the lid. Ensure the butter is softened before packing it in to create a solid, secure mass.
