Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Before refrigeration, butter stayed fresh when immersed in water. The stoneware butter crock from Le Creuset uses that same principle, keeping your butter spreadable at room temperature. To use, pack the cup on the underside of the lid with six ounces (about 1-1/2 sticks) of butter. Fill the crock one-third of the way up with cold water. Invert the lid/cup into the water and an air-tight seal is created. When you're ready to spread, open the lid and set it on its wide, flat knob. Change the water every few days for best results.

Made in France of high-fired stoneware with a non-porous enamel glaze, the butter crock won't absorb odors or flavors, resists staining and chipping, and is dishwasher-safe. A choice of colors embellishes the exterior of the jar and lid in a graded fashion, from dark to light. Le Creuset also makes kitchen canisters and spice jars in the same traditional French country style, in matching or coordinating colors. Each makes a great gift and is covered by a lifetime limited warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri

3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I thought, but okay, January 7, 2010

First, I love Le Creuset and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the structure or manufacturing of this product. I would definitely buy other Le Creuset items.

I did not realize this butter crock was of the "put water in me to keep your butter fresh" style (otherwise known as "butter bell"). I'm not a fan of this because you have to use water to keep the butter "fresh". However, the butter gets wet and you have to wipe it off before using it. Also, you have to change the water frequently. I just wanted a little crock with a regular flat lid to put butter in. So I didn't get what I expected, but it still is a nice little dish. Now, I just use the crock without the water and store it in the refrigerator.

This butter crock keeps the butter soft and fresh- perfect for buttering toast, english muffins, etc. No more torn up toast or waiting for the butter slices to soften up to spread!
