These are actually great for keeping room temp spreadable butter. Just remember to change water and wash the bottom and top well before reuse.
- How often do you change it? My mom has one of these and I think it's cool but never really thought about it.
  
  Change water every few days. Clean it well. after every stick you go through
  
  I have a recurring task called "rotate butter" scheduled once a month which seems about right to me.
My partner bought one of these things and I hate it.
- So you're saying that in your opinion, it's a crock of shit? 😏
  
  Godammit
- It's a French butter bell. Why do you hate it.
  
  French
  
  Wet butter
  
  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.
- Yeh these weren't meant for unsalted butter
- Same. Honestly it got me to stop putting butter on my toast. It's so nasty.
How does one access the butter?
- You lift up the lid/bell.
  
  Ooohhh I see. What a weird and very French contraption.
  
  and the butter come with the lid, or stay in the water?
- Asking the important questions.
I don't think I like this.
French butter crock.
I don't know why people in the comments hate these. I use one and never had any issues with it. No spoiled butter either. Just replace the water regularly
- 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
- Butter's not supposed to taste like soap??
where do I put saddam hussein
