            The lid sits in water. When you open it the water on the lid gets in the butter.

            Also unless you’re changing your butter out twice a week and properly washing the bell inbetween, the whole thing will get rancid and gross fast- much faster than butter goes bad in a covered butter dish on the counter.

              The water isn’t getting into the butter, they don’t mix boss, you’re making problems that don’t exist.

              You mean maintaining the butter bell… God forbid keeping table ready butter around takes a meager amount of work.

              If anything, this design would greatly reduce the chance of butter going rancid, since rancidity is just when fats oxidize.

        I just found the whole process with it irritating. Just give me a ceramic butter dish with a lid. Trust me, butter doesn’t last long enough here to go bad.

    These are actually great for keeping room temp spreadable butter. Just remember to change water and wash the bottom and top well before reuse.

          You put the butter in the bell part. The butter sticks. You then put some water in the crock and put the bell in the crock. The bell/butter displaces some water and it prevents air from getting to the butter.

          Imo it’s silly; there’s no real issue just leaving butter in a dish at room temp.

            Leaving butter out is definitely not a safe practice. Modern butter is not shelf stable and needs to be stored in the refrigerator.

            Old style butter, which had a large amount of salt as a preservative, was safe to leave out for long periods of time, but this is no longer true.

                  Not really. They were replying to it being unsafe. Sure, they did mention in the comment before that about leaving it in a dish, but a dish that covers butter without the water works too, just not as well as the water one, but better than out in the open. In my experience even out in the open isn’t bad in a few days like it says, closer to 1-2 weeks, especially if salted.

      They aren’t really necessary; a butter dish works fine if you’re using butter regularly. You can also just plop the stick in the dish, while with a bell you have to manually pack it in there (I assume? Never used one personally)

      Also the main reason is probably just unfamiliarity
