Amazon.com Review
Butter stored in the fridge tastes like leftovers and tears up your toast, while butter stored on the counter spreads easily but goes rancid in days. What to do? Norpro has the answer. Simply pack the Norpro Butter Keeper’s inverted lid with softened butter, put an inch or so of cool water in the base, and invert the lid on top. Water makes an airtight seal between lid and base, keeping butter soft, sweet, and spreadable for up to 30 days without refrigeration. (You’ll need to replace the water every few days.) Looking equally at home on the counter or at the table, this ceramic crock features delicate blue bands and a handle on top. It measures four inches in diameter by 3-1/2 inches tall, and is completely dishwasher-safe.--Mary Park
Product Description
Never tear up your toast again with hard butter using Norpro's Butter Keeper. Butter keepers use water to seal out air, keeping butter soft, sweet and fresh for up to 30 days, without refrigeration. The stoneware crock is decorated with a blue band design and looks great on your counter or table. Norpro's Butter Keeper is 4 inches tall and 3.5 inches in diameter. Hand washing is recommended.

Never having used one before, I was pleased to see how well the butter keeper works. It's such a practical gadget based on a simple principle.
Unfortunately, after about six months the Norpro revealed a problem that makes me think it should be replaced. The glazing developed many (almost invisible) hairline cracks under the butter, and oil from the butter was then absorbed by the clay container. After washing and drying, the container now slowly oozes rancid oil through the glaze. It continues oozing for many days, even after repeated washing.
I have come to love having softened butter on hand, and I will definitely buy another butter keeper, but I'll try a different brand. Perhaps this is one instance of getting what you pay for.

It keeps butter soft and ready to use. Water should be changed every 2-3 days to keep it fresh. We use a lot of butter and this makes it more convenient. It's not too large (about 4" high and 3.75" across) and holds a stick of butter. The easiest way to put butter in is to let it get soft before using a knife to pack it into the bowl on the lid. I try to get all the air pockets out and not let the butter mound over at the top. When the top goes into the base it will push the butter further in. When taking off the top, I usually let the excess water drip into the base so it doesn't get too messy. Washes easily in hot soapy water. You could put the whole thing in the fridge if you're not going to use the butter for a while.

It really does work. I was kind of skeptical, but I really do hate spreading butter when it's cold. I hate it melting and making a mess on my counter too. So I thought I'd try it.
This little guy keeps the butter contained, soft and spreadable. I even bought my brother one for his kitchen.

Poorly Made...
This product after a few months develops fine cracks/black lines. This leads to mold issues. Better off purchasing an L. Tremain, Butter Bell® crock for a few dollars more. Read more

It works!
This is our second butter keeper - the first one bit the dust after hitting the ceramic tile floor. No complaints here. It keeps the butter fresh and spreadable.

Works GREAT not superior quality but decent
About 2-3 weeks into first use and I'm amazed how perfect the butter is. In 68°F room, the butter is pretty firm, not mush like if left on the traditional stick plate with glass... Read more

Norpro butter keeper
I love this butter keeper. It keeps the butter at just the right temperature making it easy to spread. I only use half a stick at a time, but it works wells.

I kept this one for myself. It looks nice on the counter and has a neat, clean, look about it. I forgot to add on my other review that both companies got these to me in great time. Read more

A convenient storage container for butter.
I was super excited when I found this butter storage container. My only complaint is that it holds 1/2 cup (quarter of a block) of butter, and it would be much easier to make... Read more
