Product Description
We're enchanted with our Stoneware Butter Keeper! In a butter keeper, your butter stays fresh, soft, and sweet for up to 30 days without refrigeration. By insulating, protecting, and cooling the butter, you can maintain it at perfect spreading consistency. Water is used to provide an airtight seal to protect the sweet taste of the butter. Simply place butter in the holder, pour cold water in the crock, and insert the butter holder into the crock.

Amazon.com Review
Butter stored in the fridge tastes like leftovers and tears up your toast, while butter stored on the counter spreads easily but goes rancid in days. What to do? Norpro has the answer. Simply pack the Norpro Butter Keeper's inverted lid with softened butter, put an inch or so of cool water in the base, and invert the lid on top. Water makes an airtight seal between lid and base, keeping butter soft, sweet, and spreadable for up to 30 days without refrigeration. (You'll need to replace the water every few days.) Looking equally at home on the counter or at the table, this ceramic crock features delicate blue bands and a handle on top. It measures four inches in diameter by 3-1/2 inches tall, and is completely dishwasher-safe. --Mary Park

Help May 1, 2008
I wonder if I am doing something wrong my butter keeps dropping out of the lit and into the water when i pick the lid up, i really like the size and thought of having soft butter, but if it keeps happening like that i want my money back

Works like magic April 28, 2008
This butter bell is so great, I had to buy 3 of them to send to my European friends. My butter stays fresh at room temperature for weeks!Just remember to change the water every couple of days. It's amazing.

Funny, odd, simple gadget that works! April 26, 2008
I have had it for a few weeks now. I refill the water (an inch or two in the bottom of the receptacle part of the keeper) virtually every time I use the butter. Why not? It's easy and it keeps it more sanitary and fresh. It takes a second and I think it may keep the butter cooler and less likely to develop mold or allow it to get "contaminated" by little pieces of bread from moving a knife back and forth from the bread to the container. So, quite simply, it works! I couldn't even get it to drop in the container (as described by one reviewer), if you put room temperature butter in the smaller top part of the container, it's going to stick if it's dry when you put it in. It's one of those silly things that works. The butter continues to taste fresh. At this rate I think I will go thru it in about 2 weeks. Change the water regularly, keep it away from direct sunlight or heat and I think it will work like a charm for you.

I get a kick out of it, it's a fun gift as well. I highly recommend it.

It really works! It's worth a little extra trouble... April 21, 2008
Our family loves this thing. Dealing with the small amount of water needed to provide the air-tight seal isn't a big deal for us, but it would be if my kids were small. The bell can get slippery, what with the butter and the water. It's fun knowing that we're using an old-fashioned idea in our modern kitchen.

This product is very nice for the money and just as pictured. My butter falls out into the water every few days but that is probably because I am in very warm Florida.
