A butter crock will keep your butter sealed so that the bacteria can't get to it-even when you leave it on the counter or take it to the patio. It's the oxygen, the air, that makes your butter turn rancid. A butter keeper keeps butter fresh for up to 30 days by keeping the butter sealed from oxygen.
1. Press a cup of butter into the cup portion of the butter keeper. The cup will hold a cube. 2. Fill the crock half full of fresh water. 3. To store the butter, turn the cup upside-down and insert it into the water. The rim of the cup will rest of the rim of the crock. The butter will be immersed in the water which will seal it from the air. To serve, place the attractive stoneware cup on the table. Since the butter is at room temperature, it will be easy to spread.
