Butter Bell

Maybe you’re comfortable with leaving the butter out as-is on the counter for days on end. For those who aren’t, but still want the convenience and pleasure that a steady, safe supply of spreadable yet fresh butter provides: the Butter Bell. It swallows a whole stick of softened butter (that you did leave on the counter, but only for an hour or so).

You put a little water in the base to create a bacteria-discouraging airtight seal around the butter. And you’re never again stuck with a rapidly cooling piece of toast and rock-hard butter. It’s a design that’s been around in various forms for centuries.
