A French butter crock, also known as a butter bell or butter keeper, keeps butter soft and spreadable on the counter by creating an airtight seal. To use it, soften butter and pack it into the bell-shaped lid, then fill the base with cold water. The water creates a barrier that prevents air from reaching the butter, thus keeping it fresh and spreadable. Here's a more detailed breakdown: 1. Prepare the butter: . Soften the butter to room temperature and firmly pack it into the bell-shaped lid of the crock. Ensure the butter fills the lid completely and is flush with the rim. 2. Add water: . Fill the base of the crock with about an inch of cold water. The water level should be high enough to create a seal when the lid is placed inside, but not so high that it overflows when the lid is inserted. 3. Seal the butter: . Invert the lid and carefully place it into the water-filled base. The water creates an airtight seal, preventing air from reaching the butter and causing it to spoil. 4. Change the water: . Replace the water every 1-2 days, or more frequently if the environment is particularly warm. Some users add a pinch of salt to the water to help prevent mold growth.
