Review: charming and elegant - I recently purchased the Butter Bell - The Original Butter Bell crock, and overall, I'm quite pleased with its performance. First and foremost, the design is charming and elegant, adding a touch of sophistication to my kitchen countertop. The crock itself is well-made, with a sturdy construction that feels durable and reliable. As for its functionality, the Butter Bell does a great job of keeping butter soft and spreadable without the need for refrigeration. This is particularly handy for those who enjoy having softened butter readily available for spreading on toast or baking. However, my only gripe with this product is its size. While it's perfect for a smaller household or individual use, it may not hold enough butter for larger families or those who go through butter quickly. This can be a bit inconvenient, as it means having to refill the crock more frequently. That being said, if you're looking for a stylish and effective way to keep your butter soft and accessible, the Butter Bell is definitely worth considering. Just be mindful of its capacity if you have a larger family or tend to use a lot of butter. Overall, it's a pretty and functional addition to any kitchen. Review: Everyone needs one! - I absolutely love this butter bell! I was gifted one in this same model (the white with the flowers) from the 90s. Heartbreakingly, I dropped the one I was gifted and went to look for a replacement. I was glad to find that these are exactly the same model and will work as wonderfully as the one I had from so long ago! I got two - the light green and the dark blue as a gift for a friend. They both look great and feel like a good quality product. I love these so much! I hate trying to scrape cold butter over fresh toast, and the skin butter gets when you leave it out makes it not taste as great. I LOVE the butter bell. I know that every time I go to spread butter, it will be smooth, fresh, and tasty.

If so does the whole roll fit in the bell?** A: I use that butter and no it won't fit. I keep the Amish "log of butter" in the fridge and I cut a chunk off and put it in the butter bell. I think you can refill the bell at least a half dozen times from that. You wouldn't want to keep the whole thing out anyway unless your house goes though a LOT of butter. I keep several different kinds of butter in the fridge (salted, unsalted, cultured...) and keep small portions out in a bell for toast and whatnot. The stuff in the fridge i use for cooking/baking or longer storage. One thing to note: I find that homemade butter and unsalted specialty butter do not last as long in the butter bell as a typical salted butter in warm climates. Lastly, when filling it, cut off a chunk, put it in the bell like a cup and let it warm up. Then push the butter down, smooth it out, add water and flip it over. It's much easier than trying to mash in cold butter. **Q: is this made in China? If not where?** A: It is apparently made in China. Our first one came from Europe. **Q: Does it contain lead?** A: No, there is no lead in the paint. **Q: Even though I pack it tightly, my butter falls out into the water sometimes. Any suggestions?** A: i never use the water. i just put my butter in. put the lid on and always have soft spreadable butter. it has never gone bad on me. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ charming and elegant *by B***N on April 2, 2024* I recently purchased the Butter Bell - The Original Butter Bell crock, and overall, I'm quite pleased with its performance.
