Product Description

Amazon.com

Ideal for kitchen or dining table, this pot keeps 8 ounces of butter soft and spreadable indefinitely. No magic is required. Pack soft butter into the pot's lid. Pour cold water into the pot's bottom. Invert the lid on top of the pot, and the cold water, rising above the level of the butter, will form a seal to ensure the butter doesn't spoil--as long as the water is changed every three to four days. The pot is microwave- and dishwasher-safe and measures 4-1/2 inches in diameter and 3-1/4 inches high.

Since 1850, Emile Henry cookware and bakeware have been made in Burgundy, where a unique clay is kiln-fired into a ceramic unsurpassed for conducting and retaining heat. Prized worldwide, Emile Henry products come in a wide range of colors, from the earth tones (with creamy interiors) of the rustic Le Potier line to the bright hues (with white interiors) of the Couleurs line, of which this all-white butter pot is a gleaming example. Each piece is stamped with the year it was made and the initials of the craftsman responsible for its perfection and carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

The Emile Henry butter keeper is particularly well-designed. Its "Bell" stores almost 8 oz of butter and is inverted, unlike most others, so the butter is far less likely to slide out - unless room temperatures are excessive.

These butter keepers certainly do a good job of keeping butter at room temperature and therefore nicely spreadable. I cannot confirm how long they prevent spoilage, but it would be far longer than the butter remains uneaten in this household. I do remember that my "fridgeless" great-grandmother used one back in the 1950's and never wasted her butter because of spoilage.

Only 3 stars for the item I was sent. - There are a couple of areas where the white glaze coverage is poor and patchy. At this price I expect the glaze to be perfect.

The replacement I ordered (same item, direct from Amazon.com but in cerise) has the glaze quality I expect from this manufacturer. It warrants 5 stars - as would this if the finish had not been flawed.

I am returning this item.

P.S.
10 out of 10 for Amazon's return policy and prompt service. The replacement is definitely worth 5 stars.

Soft butter at your fingertips

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 29, 2015

My husband broke our original butter bell and I researched for another and found this. I chose it for its elegance and simplicity in design. It's the only one I found that holds almost 2 sticks of butter...this is only good if you go through butter quickly. If you only use butter occasionally, I will warn you that even with this water seal system, the butter can mold if left too long. But that's not exclusive to this butter pot, it can happen with all butter bells/pots/crocks left on the counter. I also love the low profile of this design. The balance is better than others that sit up higher so there's less of a chance of knocking it over. I took away one star because the fit of the two pieces is not perfect, there's a tiny gap that's noticeable around one side - not the end of the world and still functions properly.

This pot will pay for itself in butter freshness

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 6, 2003

Verified Purchase

I like real butter. It's a pain to keep spreadable. The conundrum is that you want it fresh, so you keep it in the fridge, but keeping it there makes it hard and it tears up the bread and is annoying to use. Butter costs enough that I'm sure I've wasted the price of this pot several times over every few months from butter going rancid in a butter dish kept on the kitchen counter.
This pot uses water as a "lid" to keep oxygen away from butter that is left out of the refrigerator. You do have to keep the "bell" filled but this is not a tough job. Now I can keep butter blocks frozen, thawing only enough for the pot (about two sticks) -- and it will keep fresh for at least a week, not a BIT of rancidity creeping in anywhere. You can tell by the smell and color it's totally fresh.
The red color is beautiful, a true scarlet, almost Chinese red. The workmanship is nice, it looks handmade. It's heavier than expected, a real pottery feel. It would make an unusual and appreciated gift for anyone who cooks or enjoys soft butter.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 10, 2015

It does what it claims, but I think some time could have gone into thinking about the design.

1) This is round. In the US, at least, butter is usually purchased in "sticks" (1/4 pound in rectangular prism shapes). Whereas the sizes do vary, none of them are round. It would be nice if the shape of this dish were such that sticks of butter would fit in. It is extremely messy to smash butter into this round pot, and every time I am left with 2-3 extra tablespoons of butter that won't fit in.

2) The pot is made of a ceramic material, and is surprisingly heavy. I can see the bottom part being heavy so it will stay on the table when you pick up the top part, but the top part should be much lighter, I think.

Quality product and delivery

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 15, 2010

Verified Purchase

Product is up to all specifications. It was slightly smaller than I envisioned, but holds more than one stick of butter. It was packaged with more bubble wrap and boxes that I thought necessary, which is a good thing I suppose. I have had no problem in this cold weather with butter falling out of the keeper. The material it is made of seems to be of high quality. When I ordered it, 1 week before christmas, the package was late, which could be due to a blizzard in South Dakota at that time. After no luck in finding the package, I contacted the seller and told them it must have been lost in shipping. They immediately sent me a replacement and even overnighted the package. I was very pleased with this service. The package was likely lost by the company that shipped it, Fedex or UPS. I would recommend this product to anyone who like real butter.

The best thing since sliced (buttered) bread!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 22, 2011

Verified Purchase

I was really shocked when I first learned that butter really doesn't need to be keep in the refrigerator all of the time. I was in the storage room of a restaurant and there, in the corner, was a big stack of real butter, safe and happy in their packing boxes. I went on the learn that as long as it is protected against excessive heat and exposure to air, butter will last quite a while. Butter pots, such as the Emile Henry, do just that (and look great while doing it!)

My only gripes:

1. In our hot Texas summers my kitchen sometimes reaches 80+ degrees F (even with air-conditioning) which causes the butter to melt a little into the water.

2. Although this pot is of exceptional quality (which is why I have purchased them as gifts as well as for myself) they are pretty expensive for what they are.

Other than those minor concerns, I would recommend this item to anyone who loves fresh, soft and delicious, real butter!

Butter Pot

This butter pot is okay. It is not a good as the cook street butter boat, but it seems to do the job. The instructions are not that clear, I had to look them up on the internet. In short, put the butter in the lid, fill the bowl with cool water and then put the lid back into the bowl. The water and butter don't mix (oil and water). If your butter gets a little wet, don't worry it isn't bad or anything. Just remember to change the water every couple of days or your butter may go bad.
