Soft and spreadable: Say goodbye to cold, hard butter. This Butter Keeper keeps butter ready for spreading on toast, biscuits, waffles, pancakes, and more. Room Temperature & Fresh: Simply pour water into the base container, fill the top cup with softened butter, place it upside down into the water-filled base — and voilà! The water creates an airtight seal, keeping butter fresh without refrigeration. Durable Ceramic: Made with high-quality speckled stoneware that is dishwasher-safe and holds approximately 1 ½ sticks of butter. Countertop Convenience: To serve, simply lift the bell and place it lid-side down. To keep it really fresh, add a little salt or vinegar to the water and refresh it every 2-3 days. The Kook Promise: We carefully packed this Butter Dish with polyfoam to ensure it arrived in great shape.
