But the thing with butter is that I don't cook a lot with it. Leave it in the fridge and it's rock hard and impossible to spread. Leave it on the counter and it's soft but goes bad. The Butter Bell® crock has changed my relationship with butter---it keeps it unspoiled yet entirely spreadable.
It looks lovely sitting amongst the jars on the counter, but aside from its looks, it makes butter easy for the taking.
Not much left after a weekend of french toast and toasted cheese sammies.
It's simple to use, just fill the bottom part of the crock with water, fill the dome with softened butter, and sit it inside the crock. The water forms and air-tight seal with the butter, making it last (assuming you don't eat it all in a weekend like we did).Imagine the possibilities with the upcoming holidays---they look charming on the table and keep butter soft for guests. I'm likely to experiment with mixing my own blended butters, like honey butter and herb butter. Yum!
Butter Bell® is running a special holiday discount through December 15th, where if you buy 2 Butter Bell® crocks, you get a FREE White with Blue Trim Bistro crock with matching spreader (value $24.95). Check the website for more details.
WIN IT!
One lucky reader will win their own Butter Bell® Crock!
