Anyone use a butter bell? We like our butter soft and unrefrigerated. This works great.

We use one and love it

[Dutchie]

I have several and love them .....

That sounds really neat.

We just keep our butter on the counter in a plain old butter dish with a cover. We probably go through 1 to 1-1/2 sticks a week, never any problem with souring or other nastiness, other than someone double dipping with a butter knife & leaving behind crumbs.

We always leave butter out in a butter dish - I thought everyone did. Don't they?
I've never had any problems with it, it takes anywhere from a couple days to a week to go through a stick of butter depending on what we eat.

Butter Bell all the way. Great, we love them.

[FarmerChick]

nah, got a refrig
I just use that
just take butter out like, 10 mins before I want softer butter--lol

just something else on my counter I don't want to deal with

just me..

[Joshie]

We keep ours, uncovered, in a cabinet at all times. It doesn't sour if you use it regularly. It never takes us a week to use a stick of butter.

The butter bells are nice as long as you remember to change out the water every so often. If it's warm out and you forget, the water gets kind of nasty.

i keep mine on the counter in a butter dish. i haven't had any problems...yet. it is good to know that it may go bad. never had that concern before but now that it's just me, i don't use as much. i'm sure i'll be purchasing one of these, when the butter on the counter goes bad.

We use a baby crock with a lid that holds exactly one #. I've left butter out on the counter my entire adult life and never had trouble with it. Do have toast crumbles tho.lol

I bought a couple of them for gifts a few years ago but never got one for myself. Wished I had since now I never see them anywhere's. Where did you all get yours?

[Wolf mom]

backfourty:

The best place to get them is at GivingGallery.com They have the best selection and prices.

My only wish is that they'd hold a pound of butter - not just 1/2 cup.

Lehman's--$9.95 plus shipping.

I use the butter dish that came with my Fiestaware. Never had a problem and we use it continuously - winter or summer!

[Backfourty,MI.]

Wolf Mom & MOgal, I'm going to check out both of those places. My regular butter dish was old & broke around the begining of December & haven't got a new one yet.
Last time I bought some for gifts was at our dollar store & I think they were $3.00 but that was a few years ago & I haven't seen them anywhere since. I think QVC used to sell them too but by a different name, don't remember how much they were from them.

I have one and love it except for the few times the butter falls out of it into the water when I pick it up. Anyone else have that problem? I still love it because I like my butter to be soft but worry about it going sour if just left on the counter.
