How a Butter Crock Works
A butter crock (also called a French butter keeper) keeps butter soft and spreadable using a simple water-seal method.
Pack softened butter into the lid, add a small amount of water along with a pinch of salt to the base, and place the lid upside down into the crock. The water creates a natural seal that helps keep air out and butter fresh.
For best results, change the water every 2–3 days and keep the crock at room temperature, away from direct heat.
With proper care, butter crocks have been used for generations as a simple, effective way to store butter without refrigeration.
