Good ol’ regular butter dishes can perfectly keep your butter’s freshness and supposed texture, but for a change, why not store it in a butter crock?

This butter crock or butter bell is made of high-quality ceramics that come in two parts: an inverted bell-shaped lid where you can place your butter, and a bottom crock that you have to fill with water.

To keep your butter ready to use anytime, you have to place the bell, upside down, inside the crock. The water forms pressure that keeps your butter from having contact with air, preserving its firmness and sweetness for weeks. Just keep in mind to change the water regularly. The snag is, when the butter dish is hot, the butter might melt. So, it’s best to keep the crock in the fridge.

In terms of capacity, it can only hold one butter stick. But when it comes to cleaning it post-use, know that it’s easy to clean as it’s dishwasher-safe.
