Butter Bell Or Butter Keeper

Has anyone here ever used one of these? I've thought about getting one because I don't want to have to keep buying the soft spreadable butter in the butter as well as the stick butter which I buy in bulk at Costco. We use a fair amount of soft butter for we eat a lot of biscuits.

Keep your butter spreadable

Posted by Thursday Bram

I like my butter soft, ready to spread on a slice of toast or a dinner roll. If I keep the butter in my refrigerator, it's rarely ready to spread when I'm ready to eat. But I'm not entirely comfortable with the idea of leaving a stick of butter out on the counter, even if that's exactly what my great-grandmother did all of her days. The Butter Keeper offers a compromise: it's made up of two separate glass pieces. The first is a butter dish, that flips over and rests in the second, a base filled with cool water. The water-filled base not only keeps the butter easy to spread, but it also helps preserve the butter when it isn't in use. The clear glass makes it easy to see both butter and water levels and refill each as needed. The Butter Keeper may seem a bit old-fashioned, but it provides an easy way to keep your butter spreadable. While health inspectors recommend keeping butter refrigerated, it is common to leave it at room temperature instead. I might not recommend the Butter Keeper if it takes you weeks to go through one stick of butter, but if you go through butter quickly, it's a great option. The Butter Keeper is priced at $16.98.

I have seen one of those for stick butter, I wanted to buy it at the time but haven't seen it back on, it was on QVC, or HSN not sure which but the design they had on them did not match anything I had in the kitchen, so I waited now I wish I had bought one, because the spreadable butter/w canola oil is getting pricey.

I get the spreadable butter with canola oil too. Sounds like it might pay off in the long run if you use a lot and it wouldn't be out a long time. I often go for days without using butter though.

A kitchen shop that I go to some in Charleston carries them. The ones they have are pottery, not glass. I would think the pottery ones would do better since that material tends to stand cooler longer and sunlight and butter don't mix very well.
