Le Creuset Stoneware Butter Crock, Cherry Review

I really like this product. I was concerned, after reading some reviews on Butter Bells and 'on the counter' storage of butter.
I have not had any problems with it. It holds more than one stick of butter, spreading the butter at room temp, is so nice and easy. We tend to use less of it, than when we had to try and spread butter, cold from the fridge.
All I have to do is change the water every couple of days, and I try and keep it off the counter directly over the dishwasher, or too close to any appliances that give off heat.
To fill, I set the wrapped stick of butter out on the counter for a while, until it gets soft, and I smush in the softened butter with a spoon. Using the back of the spoon, I make a concave area in the middle and make sure the butter touches the sides of the crock.
It is great and everyone who sees it, wants one!
I recommend it!

This is the best butter keeper we've ever had! It's so cute and little, and I LOVE that it holds two sticks! It keeps it incredibly fresh, having this around makes breakfast time so much more enjoyable when we have toast or pancakes or waffles, etc.

Marcigny, a small town nestled between the hills of Southern Burgundy, has been home to Emile Henry for the past 150 years. Faithful to its origins, the entire production is carried out here. Thanks to its clay, rich in refractory properties, Burgundy has remained a fertile area for potters, passing on their savoir-faire from generation to generation. Clay, a natural and noble material, has been used since the mists of the time to cook or preserve food. While respecting the traditional techniques, Emile Henry has introduced technological improvements (Ceradon ) so that the dishes are more resistant to mechanical and thermal shock. Strong and durable, all Emile Henry pieces can be taken directly from the freezer to a hot oven, can go under a broiler and are microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe. The natural clay is unsurpassed for conducting and retaining heat. All pieces are perfect for everyday use and carry a 3 year warranty against defects.

Emile Henry Couleurs Butter Pot Review

Strange as it may seem, the Butter Pot actually works! You put two sticks, (eight ounces) of softened butter in the Cup/lid and a half inch of water in the base so that it will form a seal when you invert the lid over the base and it will keep your butter fresh and spreadable, without refrigeration, for three to four weeks. All you need to do is change the water every three or four days.
I have another version of this device, but I prefer this one, simply because it holds twice as much, eight ounces instead of four. If you're as fond of buttered toast as I am, and as aggravated by trying to soften hard butter in the microwave, you'll really appreciate the Butter Pot.
As with all Emile Henry ware, this is an extremely well-maide item, that should last for years.

No complaints from us, we love this crock. Sometimes the butter slides out, but not a product issue or a big deal. It has happened with all the ones we've had. This one is a great size for table service.

Emile Henry Butter Pot, Cerise Review

The Emile Henry butter keeper is particularly well-designed. Its "Bell" stores almost 8 oz of butter and is inverted, unlike most others, so the butter is far less likely to slide out - unless room temperatures are excessive.
These butter keepers certainly do a good job of keeping butter at room temperature and therefore nicely spreadable. I cannot confirm how long they prevent spoilage, but it would be far longer than the butter remains uneaten in this household. I do remember that my "fridgeless" great-grandmother used one back in the 1950's and never wasted her butter because of spoilage.
I prefer to leave the butter on the kitchen counter to come to room temperature. (It is far too easy to overheat it in the microwave, resulting in inferior texture.) Two sticks will completely fill the keeper leaving enough extra for about one piece of toast.
This is a replacement I ordered (same item, direct from Amazon.com) and has the perfect glaze quality I expect from this manufacturer, unlike the previous white one, which I (over-generously) gave 3 stars.
