Also asked, how long can you keep butter in a butter bell? 30 days Likewise, how much water do you put in a butter crock? To use a French Butter Dish, “pack” 1/4 to 1/2 pound of butter into its bell or cone-shaped lid, then put water into the base so that it is about 1/3 full (use salted water for unsalted or low-salt butter).

Yes, the butter bell works decently, but the cure comes with a few side effects. To squeeze a fresh stick of cold butter into the bell shaped holder, I had to soften it and then mold the stick into the bell. When the butter gets too warm, the butter drops from the top of the bell and goes for a swim in the water below.Is it OK to leave butter out all the time?There are some caveats, but, according to some experts, salted butter in an airtight container, like a crock, is perfectly fine to leave out on the counter for up to two weeks. And if the butter goes rancid, then it’s time to throw it out.
