Amazon.com Review: Butter stored in the fridge tastes like leftovers and tears up your toast, while butter stored on the counter spreads easily but goes rancid in days. What to do? Norpro has the answer. Simply pack the Norpro Butter Keeper’s inverted lid with softened butter, put an inch or so of cool water in the base, and invert the lid on top. Water makes an airtight seal between lid and base, keeping butter soft, sweet, and spreadable for up to 30 days without refrigeration. (You’ll need to replace the water every few days.) Looking equally at home on the counter or at the table, this ceramic crock features delicate blue bands and a handle on top. It measures four inches in diameter by 3-1/2 inches tall, and is completely dishwasher-safe. --Mary Park

Rating: - Works Great In The Cooler Months
Norpro Butter Keeper is such a handy little tabletop gadget that I bought two. My husband is a slob with the butter knife and gets toast crumbs and anything else he has used his knife on in the butter so now he can have his own butter to be messy with.
My only problem is that I live in So Cal where our summertime temps challenge the best air conditioning systems and getting the house cooled below 80 is near impossible some days, so I can't fault the product. As a result I can't use this during our hot weather months because the butter just falls out into the water when you lift the ... Read More

I've found all the above claims to be true. I was very skeptical that it could hold butter upside down and do it well. I've had this butter keeper for well over a year, and we go through a lot of butter. Spreading butter on toast and other breads had always been an unpleasurable ... Read More
Rating: - Dissapointed
I am dissapointed with the Norpro. The butter would constantly fall out of its bowl and into the water bowl after being exposed to room temperature for only 15 minutes. I do live in a warm climate(Alabama) but we have the air conditoner running!I now use the Norpro as a butter dish and place it out side the refrigerator about 30 minutes before using the butter.
Rating: - I love my butter keeper
I bought this butter keeper this (hot)summer because keeping the butter in the fridge made it too hard to use on toast, and keeping it on the counter ended up in a puddle of melted butter. Keeping butter cooled in water keeps it spreadable all the time. The container can get a little grotty, especially with less careful kids using it, but no more than a butter dish would get. I highly recommend this and the price is right!
Rating: - Recommended - Keeps butter cool & softened!
I bought this with the 4 for 3 promotion. What a great find! I remember my Mom having one years ago, but I never thought about buying one since I would just soften what I wanted to use in the microwave. Now softened butter is readily available. The butter cup holds 1/2 cup of softened butter. I usually put in about a 1/4 cup which works well for the two of us since we don't eat a lot of butter. I fill it all the way when I know I will need softened butter to make a compound butter such as garlic basil butter (great on grilled corn on the cob). Then I take half of it out and put it into another ... Read More
