Now I know what Rhett from Good Mythical Morning was talking about.
It's a cool little dish! I've had mine for 10 years now!
thanks for sharing, here's a little info add a pinch of salt to the water it works well in keeping the water fresh
Yes! Especially if unsalted butter is used :)
My mom just received one of these as gift . I wasn’t sure of why it had the unusual shape so I looked it up on RUclips. Thanks for the explanation.
Glad I could help!
Stumbled upon this video while looking for something else. Thanks for posting this; I've been wondering how to use these.
Fascinating! I've never even heard of one of those. Wonderful video! Thanks for the info.
Any time!
Excellent explanation! Thank you for making this video. I bought one and had no idea how do use it :-)
Glad this helped! I am still using one I made 8 years ago.
This is so awesome! Thank you! I love butter :)
You're so welcome!
Awesome video! && THANK YOU LOL I went ontO Etsy looking for a butter dish; I saw a French butter keeper & my brain was TOTALLY absolutely NOT grasping the concept of the butter being upside down 😂😂🤣🤣 I’m cracking up right now hahahaha. Thanks, very clear instruction. There are no silly questions! Even if it is how to use a French butter dish. 😆🤘🏼🤙🏼
You are so welcome! I have loved mine for over 9 years now!
A friend mentioned that her husband likes using a French butter dish. I didn't have a clue what it is. Now I want one!
I have loved mine for 10 years now!
Great demonstration!!
Glad it helps!
My mama said it was a sugar Bowl. Haha I cant wait to show her this video!
Ha! I suppose it could be used for sugar...
Thanks, snuggly buttercup!
Thanks for the loading tip
No problem 👍
I had figured out how to use the butter keeper except for how to properly load it. I became discouraged in the middle of a hot summer when the butter would not stay up in the holder so I should probably put it in the fridge when it is in the 80s plus. Perhaps it depends on how the inside is finished ? Did not know it was a French invention. Gleefully off to load my keeper now !
Happy loading :) Thanks for watching.
This method of storing butter is of no use to me in Georgia as the temperatures most the year are high and even with a/c going the butter grows mold. In the winter months my old standard butter dish works just fine. I found changing the water and cleaning up the oily mess more of a pain than a help.
@@lisanolen3108 Only raw butter (unpasteurized butter) will grow mold. Pasteurized butter, what you find commonly in most stores cannot grow mold. Salted pasteurized butter is even better. Pasteurized butter can become rancid though. This is different than mold.
@@43wagonwheel any butter can mold, it's just a matter of how long and at what temp. As you said, pasteurized takes longer, and might go rancid way before that, but that's dependent on other factors too. I live in Florida, and I keep my house at 75F all the time and it rarely happens, but the house where I used to live before the temp kept at around 80s and regular brand butter would grow a black mold on it if kept longer than 2 weeks.
I find it necessary to put it in the fridge too. Trouble is expansion and contraction cause the butter to fall into the water. I find by not using the water and keeping my butter dish upside down all the time I just take it out before I need it. All the water is doing is making a seal from air entering so you really only need enough water for the lip to sit in, no more. Even though I use it without water and defeating the whole idea,
it's just that it takes up less room in my fridge.
So does the butter keep her intended to stay out on the counter and the water is what’s keeping it fresh and cool (or am I doing something wrong and putting it in the refrigerator because it’s the butter still comes out hard obviously)
It is made to stay on the counter. Yes, the water does keep it fresh, the water needs to be changed out every few days though. Thanks for asking!
Is there any complaint about water getting on your butter (and bread) or is the butter clear of the water?
You may see a few drops of water on the butter, it is the water that helps keep the butter fresh. I've never had a problem with that, and I've been using my dish for 8+ years.
Water and the butter fat/oil will not mix. Hence then water just heads off it when you turn it over to spread the butter.
Butter not wet or soggy at all
thx for the walkthru
My Pleasure!
I'm here after Rhett mentioned a French butter dish on today's Good Mythical Morning... I wanted to see what on earth it was!
I'm in England, we just leave the butter out on the counter naked all the time but I guess this is good for warmer countries 🍯🔪
Same dude. Same.
Sweet! I've had a few visitors after Rhett mentioned it. I've had mine for 10 years! It does get hot in the summer here!
Glad you were able to find out what it is!
Can you use Country Crock butter, or do you have to use a stick of butter?? I put Country Crock butter into mine, and it melted on me. I didn't have it in the sun light, and after I got some butter out of mine, and I went to put it back in the bottom where the water is at, it all fell out and went into the water. What am I doing wrong?? Please help
As far as I know, you can use any butter. Make sure it is packed FIRMLY into the butter cup. When it gets over 80 in my kitchen, my butter tends to fall into the water too, but it can be placed back in. Also, when I have it sitting by the toaster or microwave it gets too warm. Try to keep in a spot around 70. Hope that helps!!
Is your butter too soft or too hard? I generally tell my clients if the butter falls out it's because you put it in too cold. I am not familiar with that brand in canada.
After thinking a bit, isn't Country Crock a margarine? Margarine is naturally soft and may not work so well as butter does.
So is the butter supposed to come in contact with the water (in order to create the seal) or is there supposed to be an air pocket left between the butter and water?
Yes, the butter should come in contact with the water.
@@auntiescakery got it thanks. I tried it. It seems to work; but when I lift it from the water there are of course some drops left on the surface of the butter; that's not a problem is it?
Not a problem at all, as oil and water don't mix. I love mine and have used it over 6 years now!
The rim of the butter cup is all that needs to touch the water. If the butter touches the water the water will become nasty and spoiled almost daily; therefore, it's better if the water is only high enough to touch the rim of the butter cup.
It's like a diving bell. The air pressure inside presses water out and around. As you lower the butter, the level of the water rises because it's being displaced by the volume of the inside.
I can this is on my kitchen counter? Or should be in refrigerator? Please answer me.
On the counter.
Why does the water need to be changed every few days? What happens if you don't?
Fresh water is always best. If the water is left too long, (I've left mine for a week without problems...) It'll start to grow mold.
My butter keeps falling out. How do I prevent this?
There are 2 main reasons the butter falls out, 1-it's not tightly packed, 2-It's too warm (Usually It's the warm) Hope this helps
Is this supposed to be refrigerated or no
This does NOT require refrigeration.
You can though if you are going on vacation. Or if you keep your house really hot. I usually put my butter in the lid and then I run cold water on it to get it to suck up against the sides
Mine keeps falling off... any suggestion?
Pack it in the cup TIGHT, and keep it away from heat. That should be all it takes. If the dish gets too warm, the outside of the butter will melt just enough to make it slip into the water.
Won't the butter fall out into the water?
Rarely. It can be put back into the cup without harm.
