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

This crock actually works. You'll have room temperature butter anytime you want it. It holds about 1 and 1/2 sticks of butter. Just bring the butter to room temperature, pack it tightly in the upside-down cup, fill the base with a little water, and your butter will stay fresh and at room temperature. Although the instructions suggest changing the water every 3-4 days, I find that I only need to change it about once every 10 days or so. When using the butter, be careful to remove it evenly from the top working your way down. If you take too much from one side, the glob of butter will end up sliding out of the cup and down into the water when you pull out the cup. When the cup is full of butter, you'll have some water clinging to its surface, but blotting with a paper towel will easily solve that problem.

This review is from: Le Creuset Stoneware Butter Crock, Cobalt (Kitchen)
I've had other 'butter keepers', but this one is top shelf. It's larger than most and feels heavy in the hand (in a good way). The blue glaze is evenly washed and I found no flaws. The inside is an earthen brown.
I found mine holds a little more than a stick of butter. I let the stick soften on the counter so it's easy to insert while I have the crock cooling in the refrigerator. NO, you don't ever have to place the crock in the refrigerator, NOT ever. I do it so the softened stick will cool and set quicker. If the butter is too warm while trying to place it in the mold, it can fall out. This won't happen if you a)don't over soften it before inserting b)cool the crock first. I've done it w/out cooling and works just fine. But if you read a reviewer who says the butter won't stay in, they let the butter get too soft before putting it in the mold. The water in the base of the crock is filled to the 'fill line' and does a lovely job of keeping the butter fresh, soft, but not too soft or warm. I've been in French kitchens and some chefs literally leave their butter on the counter...all day long. I guess they use enough of it that it won't go bad. If you want butter that's easily at hand and soft enough to use, this is it. It makes all of the butter crocks out there look antiseptic. I love it!

This product is a fabulous addition to our kitchen.
My Dutch wife wouldn't have it any other way. :) If we could, all of our products would be Le Creuset Stoneware - it's just quality cookware that is pleasing to the eye.
