Know before you buy
The crock uses a water-seal method. You pack the 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.
It is designed to hold one standard US stick of butter, which is equivalent to 1/2 cup or 125 grams.
Yes, New Bone China is known for its strength and chip resistance. It is a durable, high-quality ceramic that is safe for everyday use and is also dishwasher safe.
For the best results, it is recommended to change the water every two to three days. This keeps the water fresh and ensures your butter remains in optimal condition.
Absolutely. The Butter Bell is crafted from lead-free and cadmium-free materials, ensuring it is completely safe for storing your food.
