Know before you buy
The water creates an airtight seal between the lid and the base, which prevents oxygen from reaching the butter. This keeps it fresh and spreadable at room temperature without the risk of spoilage.
For the best results, we recommend changing the water every two to three days. Using fresh, cool water ensures the seal remains effective and the butter stays clean.
Yes, this pot is specifically designed to hold one standard half-cup stick of butter. Simply pack the softened butter into the lid, add water to the base, and invert it to create the seal.
This pot is crafted from durable, high-quality stoneware. While it is sturdy enough for daily use, it should be handled with the same care as any other ceramic kitchenware to avoid chips or cracks.
Yes, the stoneware construction is completely dishwasher safe. You can place both the lid and the base in the dishwasher for easy cleaning between refills.
