They've been around for at least 400 years (it's actually called a butter bell). Fat and water don't mix, so the water doesn't affect the butter. It keeps the air out so the butter doesn't get contaminated, and it works very well.

I used to work in a professional kitchen and our sauciers used to use larger versions of these dishes all the time.

Well, many Europeans have found this method to be useful for a very long time. Hardly a stupid product!

When someone mentions Europe and butter in the same sentence you should pay attention.

I thought the purpose of these was to keep it spreadable soft year round? Always wanted to try one.

Just for clarification, I have to smash my stick of butter in there and make sure it's level so it doesn't touch the water?

This is soooooo extra.

Agree. just leaving it in a dish on the counter at room temperature is totally fine. I don't get the purpose of a butter bell.

The disdain for this butter dish is smoothly spreading throughout the comments

For what it's worth:

Wife and I used one of these (her idea) for about a year. Not too big of a hassle, butter stayed fresh.

We eventually went back to a butter dish that has a lid that comes on and off - no difference really. It's a unique dish - conversation starter if you've got guests. We go through a stick of butter every 3-4 days so long term freshness isn't really on our radar.

In my case I can see this in our long-term storage along with the little honey pot we thought we really needed.

I've had a Butter Bell on my wishlist for awhile. Debating whether I want to settle for a knock-off on sale or wait to grab the original.

Keeping the butter spreadable is nice, although I'm not sure this would completely replace my countertop butterstick, since it's much easier to portion the butter for cooking when it retains its rectangular shape with the package markings.
