It really does work. I was kind of skeptical, but I really do hate spreading butter when it’s cold. I hate it melting and making a mess on my counter too. So I thought I’d try it.
This little guy keeps the butter contained, soft and spreadable. I even bought my brother one for his kitchen.

The ambient temperature in the room where you keep this has a significant effect on how well it works. It’s pretty much the ideal way to store butter if the room temperature stays constant between about 60 and 75 degrees F. Below 60 degrees, the butter will be too hard to spread without tearing soft bread; above 75 degrees it will begin to melt and spoil even though air can’t get to it. I much prefer fresh air, so I use heat and A/C as little as possible. When the indoor temperature falls within the optimum range I use and enjoy the butter keeper very much. Since that works out to be about half the time here in Western NY, I’m giving this three stars. The rest of the year I keep the butter in the fridge. I haven’t seen anybody else even mention temperature as an issue, so I’m doing it.

Never having used one before, I was pleased to see how well the butter keeper works. It’s such a practical gadget based on a simple principle.
Unfortunately, after about six months the Norpro revealed a problem that makes me think it should be replaced. The glazing developed many (almost invisible) hairline cracks under the butter, and oil from the butter was then absorbed by the clay container. After washing and drying, the container now slowly oozes rancid oil through the glaze. It continues oozing for many days, even after repeated washing.
I have come to love having softened butter on hand, and I will definitely buy another butter keeper, but I’ll try a different brand. Perhaps this is one instance of getting what you pay for.

After seeing one of these in a friend’s house, I was determined to have one. Now I do, and I love it! There is one trick, however, to its use: do not overfill the bottom. Other than that, it’s great. And it’s soooooo nice to have soft butter any time I want it.

We love this! Even in Arizona heat, the butter stays in and is super soft. I let the butter soften a bit on the counter, then press it in, end first, using the paper wrapper to press all the air out and make the top of the butter even with the edge of the cup. Haven’t had any problems with butter sliding out.
