Butter Bells date back to the Middle Ages. Before fridges, these airtight ceramic vessels prevented butter from spoiling and kept it at the right temperature.
Inspired by traditional designs, this pot protects your butter and keeps it perfectly soft for effortless spreading. Featuring the distinctive three-ring design, this piece matches the iconic cast-iron pots, so can be perfectly placed within your existing Le Creuset collection.
The butter crock, also known as a butter bell or butter keeper, is a two-piece crockery that keeps butter fresh on the counter for up to 30 days. The butter goes in the “bell,” which you place in the water-filled crock. This device keeps butter smooth and spreadable whenever you need it.
Pack the cup on the underside of the lid with about six ounces of butter. Fill the crock one-third of the way to the water level line with cold water. Refill the crock every few days to keep the water fresh.
