Here’s the thing about butter: It’s perfect, and delicious, and the source of so much joy in the world. But fresh from the fridge it’s rock-hard and difficult to spread, which is annoying when you want to enjoy it on your favorite dinner rolls or baked potato stat. Luckily there is an easy solution to this minor inconvenience: Yes, I’m talking about a butter crock. Better still, an adorably chic fan-favorite French butter crock is on sale on Amazon for just $19.

For those who are unfamiliar with the butter crock, also called a butter bell, it is a simple-yet-marvelous tool. The two-piece kitchen gem is made up of a base, which holds water, and a bell, which holds a whole stick of softened butter. When you put the bell into the base, it forms a water seal that keeps butter from going bad — even when it’s left out at room temperature. The end result? Perfectly spreadable butter that doesn’t need to be refrigerated. (Although you will need to change out the water regularly.)
The Dowan French Butter Crock is a stylish, sophisticated way to keep your butter delightfully soft at all times. At just 4 inches tall it adds a pop of kitchen decor without taking up too much space, so you can use it to style your kitchen countertop, shelves, or island without contributing to clutter. It comes in five cute colors, ranging from neutral beige to bold pops of blue.
Sure, there are plenty of butter crocks on the internet to choose from, but few boast the over 13,000 five-star customer reviews that this one does. “The ceramic material is sturdy and easy to clean, and the size is just right for holding a stick of butter,” wrote one butter-loving shopper. “Highly recommend this butter crock for anyone who loves having soft, ready-to-use butter at all times!”
If you think about it, $19 is a small price to pay for a lifetime of spreadable butter at the ready. Add this Dowan Butter Crock to your Amazon cart ASAP, and see for yourself.
