French Butter Dish — Ceramic Butter Crock with Lid & Spreader

A French butter dish keeps butter on the counter under a thin water seal, so it stays soft enough to spread without sitting open to the air. This one is glazed white ceramic, with the word Butter embossed on the front and a small spreader in the box.

What it does

• Water seal. Pour a little water into the base, set the lid on top, and the water closes off the butter from the air.
• Lid cup holds the butter. The butter sits packed in the cup under the lid, upside down, held in place as you press it flat.
• Glazed white ceramic. A smooth glaze inside and out, with a flared knob on the lid to lift it.
• Spreader included. A short stainless steel blade with a white handle.

How to use it

1. Pour 1/3 cup of water into the base.
2. Fill the lid cup with butter and press it flat.
3. Set the lid on the base. The water makes the seal.

Questions

What is the point of a French butter dish?

It lets you keep butter at room temperature so it spreads easily, while the water seal keeps air away from it.

How much water goes in?

About 1/3 cup in the base. The lid cup then sits down into the water, and that is what makes the seal.

What is the difference from a regular butter dish?

A regular dish leaves the butter open under a cover. A French butter dish holds it upside down in the lid cup above a layer of water.

What comes in the box?

The base crock, the lid with its butter cup, and one butter spreader with a white handle.

• 1 base crock — Holds the water for the seal
• 1 lid with butter cup — Embossed Butter on the front
• 1 butter spreader — Short stainless steel blade, white handle
