This guy is my favorite family member I've never had
Aww! Thanks! Take care.
I feel like an uncultured swine because I had to google this lmao
I had to look it up, too, when someone posted about it on a Buzzfeed Facebook post!
Don't ever feel bad about not knowing something you have never been exposed to. There are kazillions more things out there to learn than you will ever have time for, so just have fun always learning new stuff.
Cynthia.....I have the internet mainly to look up information, especially instructional videos because I'm a visual learner. The older I get the less I want to guess how something works.
@@msr1116 Yep. Me, too. So glad for RUclips. You can learn just about anything here - visually.
Me too!! 😂
A PRACTICAL man- using back of spoon - love it!
😁😊👍👍👍
i want one my father is from france n he says they used them all the time. change ur water every 3 days n add about 1/4 teasp. salt to prevent mold.
kathy jo tourtois - thank you for the tip with the salt! I was wondering what to do to prevent mould issues. :)
That's good advice. Sorry for the delay in responding (it's a YT thing), but I do appreciate your comment.
surprised at the above mould comment..i use salted butter in my bell...change the water every 3 days..Each new refill of butter usually lasts around 2/3 weeks....Never had any mould yet !!!
Soften the butter in the wax paper it comes wrapped in , Then transfer to the Butter Bell using the back side of the wax paper keeping your hands clean. You will have much less clean up in the end.
Yes, but then you don't get to lick the spoon. (Grin!) With artificial, butter-flavored grease, this might not be so appealing, but with fresh, grassfed butter, mmmm!
Ya id do it that way
This was heart warming to watch. I love the butter bell, and you were a pleasure to learn from.
Thanks so much, Patricia! But ... heartwarming?? It was supposed to be BUTTER warming! 🤣😂😆
Thank you! Once you use a butter crock 'bell', you never go back to hard butter! I' ve had two in 50 yrs...even in the Miami heat!
That's a great testimonial for these little crocks, Holly. Thanks so much. Sorry for the delay in responding (it's a YT thing), but I do appreciate your comment.
@@DavidsTutorials I have to say, being willing to reply to an 8 year old comment really shows off your dedication and character.
This is AMAZING! I never knew this even existed! My millennial brain is blown away sir, this is better than a new iPad right now! 🤯😂 thank you for sharing this I’m on my way to Amazon to get me one!
Thanks for that, Amanda. I do appreciate your comment.
Very nice tutorial! Thank you for giving such a detailed explanation!
I appreciate the comment. It means a lot to me.
Thanks Dave! We just bought one and weren’t sure if we had it figured out yet.
Glad I could help!
very cool...love soft butter so thank you. Just bought a beautiful butter bell today at a consignment store!
I hope you've been enjoying it! Sorry for the delay in responding (it's a YT thing), but I do appreciate your comment.
Thanks! I have been having trouble with the butter falling out, and now maybe I can alleviate that.
Thanks for the comment, Gail. Before I made the video, I asked my brother-in-law (who was visiting) to put the butter in the bell, and ... you guessed it. The butter fell out into the water. In thinking about that, I'm guessing that was the impetus for me to make this video. So the same thing didn't happen to others.
Just like the last video I watched, I did not listen to the narration. But, thus video was the perfect length and I could tell how to use the butter bell and could see the tips he used, by the way he held the spoon, when placing the butter inside of the bell. He showed the product and I could see he let the butter soften, before I placed it into the bell. Good, short and to the point!
Thanks again for your comment.
Just filled my first butter bell, looking forward to my toast tomorrow. Thanks David!
Fantastic! Hope it all went well.
Great video. I wasn't sure if the water should actually be touching the butter. Can't wait to try it now! Your videos are great
Thanks for this comment. Sorry for the delay in replying (it's a YT thing). No, the water doesn't touch the butter, the air inside the bell keeps it out.
I just found a nice butter bell at the thrift store for $4 today. Very excited to own one. Never knew about it until tiktok !
I hope you thoroughly enjoy it!
Incredible, timeless content. Thank you David 🙌🏻
Happy to help! Thanks for the comment, and take care.
Good tip about using the back of the spoon. Thanks David
That was just one of those things that "occurs to you" in the moment. 😊 (Sorry for the delay in responding (it's a YT thing), but I do appreciate your comment.)
Thank you so much, I was baffled by this water butter machine, but now I think I get it. You changed my life.
I call it a contraption. LOL
I hope you've been enjoying it! Sorry for the delay in responding (it's a YT thing), but I do appreciate your comment.
Literally here from the GMM episode I needed to know what Rhett was talking about. 🤣🤣 Now I want one too!
I think you'll really like it once you get one.
Here due to a Butter Bell popping up on Weird Secondhand Finds That Just Need To Be Shared!
Same
Same also lol
Looool same 😂
Thanks, Carly. And I agree, please do SHARE this video, it helps the channel and encourages me to make more videos. Not to mention everyone else who will watch it and say AHA!
Me too!! Lmao
amazing! thanks for sharing, David.
You're welcome. Glad I could turn on the light for you and others.
Thank you David! This was a great tutorial, sure helped me load up my brand new butter bell! ALso used your butter softening tutorial. Great videos! Thanks again!
You're very welcome! It's very gratifying to know I've been able to brighten people's lives, make them better, even if only in a small way.
David's Tutorials still using my butter bell to this day! Thanks again!
Thanks for the very informative tutorial
Happy to be of help. It surprises me how many people hadn't known this. Of course, *I* didn't know it before I got this as a gift.
Thank you for the tutorial. My husband bought me one and honestly i had no idea what it was for🙈
It took me some time to research this, work it out what works best, so I figured, why not share what I learned? Thanks for the comment, Nancy.
Protect this man at all costs!!! Great tutorial
Grin! Thanks, Sydney.
GREAT VIDEO! Thank you good sir!
Happy to help, carcusmastro. Take care.
Just got my first butter bell and I came back to the butter floating in the water. Turns out the butter was mashed in there forcefully while it was still cold! Thanks for this video!
Thanks for the report, Laura. Yeah, my brother-in-law loaded our bell one time and had the same thing happen - I don't think he got it mashed in well enough. But making sure the butter is NOT cold is definitely a good idea!
Thank you! Just what I needed, I wasnt sure if the butter went inside upside down 😂 so this was the perfect video to show me how to use the whole thing correctly haha thank you
Happy to be of help! Take care. 😊😊
Wonderful video! Thank you!
Thanks for the comment, Lauren.
Alternate method: fill the bell with cold chunks of butter. Place the cylinder over it so the whole thing is upside-down. After the butter softens, smoosh it down with the back of a spoon, invert, and place in the cylinder you have no filled with the right amount of water.
Mae Zeppa - that defeats the purpose of this thing. The point of the water is to prevent critters, bacteria, mould and other things to get to the butter.
The way you described it, you may as well just use a traditional American butter dish. Something like in these pictures: www.google.ca/search?q=butter+dish&rlz=1CDGOYI_enCA640CA640&hl=en-US&prmd=isnv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwic9KGt29fVAhUKjVQKHUwJAkcQ_AUIESgB&biw=375&bih=591
Great idea. Makes sense to me. Thanks!
That would work, Mae, but I'm impatient. That's why I used the microwave. Sorry for the delay in responding (it's a YT thing), but I do appreciate your comment.
Thanks! I knew what it was, but didn't know how to use it. And there is the possibility of the butter falling into the water if it's not pushed into the bell real good. I thought it odd to hang it upside down into the water, but that's how it's kept fresh.
LOL! I once asked my brother-in-law to fill the butter bell while we were doing other things making dinner. He didn't understand the need to press it in and the next morning when we tried to use it - the butter was in the water! Fortunately, it was fresh, clean water.
Back of the spoon. Excellent tip!
The back of the spoon just seemed to work better. Take care.
At 0:15 “A piece of crockery” is probably the best word to explain this item 😆
Yep, I guess that's it in a nutshell.
Thanks for the video. I just bought a French bell.
That's great! I hope the French butter bell works out for you. Take care.
I love using my butter bell, I have several and I will fill a clean one when the one I'm using is getting low on butter so I always have one ready to go while dishwashing the empty one. Just remember to change the water every 2 or 3 days and you will be so pleased always having soft butter for your toast, pancakes, waffles, or baked potatoes!!
Thanks, Pappy! Since making this video, I also use a second room-temperature server, but my second container is a standard butter dish. I use the butter bell for getting butter to spread on foods, and I use the butter dish for butter for cooking. Seems to work well, and when the butter dish gets low, I put the remainder into the bell and put a new stick in the dish.
@@DavidsTutorials Thanks for the suggestion! I have a regular crystal covered butter dish I keep at room temperature which makes it easy to eyeball the right size for a 1 or 2 Tbsp of butter for a recipe. I do truly love my butter bell(s) and when one gets low I'll soften a stick of butter to load a clean one so there's no interruption of me having soft spreadable butter!! These butter bells are the World's Best Kept Secrets for sure!!!
I have a question- as the butter is getting low while using, ho i need to add more water in order for water to touch that little butter left or how does that work
The butter and water need never touch each other.
Great video thanks 😊
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you! I just got one as a gift today but did not know how to use it.
Thanks for the comment! How has it worked out for you? Sorry for the delay in responding (it's a YT thing), but I do appreciate your comment.
Thank you for enriching my life!! 😊
You are so welcome!
Very cool gagdet. Thanks for sharing!
We still use ours every day.
I've heard of butter bells but didn't know you had to use water in it too.
Neat!
I want one.
Well, I hope this helped you. I'm sure you can get a butter bell on eBay or Amazon or elsewhere online. Also, try your local flea markets.
@@DavidsTutorials thanks! It did. I actually found the last one they had at our local bed bath & beyond that's closing.
My kids have enjoyed it since they learned how to make grilled cheese sandwiches lol.
@@IdratherbeinHobbiton Hey, here's something I have not yet put up as a video (but I might soon) - the absolute BEST grilled cheese sandwiches are made with (real) sourdough bread. If you can find it. Not the kind that simulates sourdough by adding vinegar to the recipe, but the real kind like from San Francisco, made with a rennett starter. Generous (real) button on both outsides, and you can add other things if you like (such as a sprinkling of dill weed or some thin-sliced tomato), but just a plain ol' grilled cheese on real sourdough is to die for. Restaurant-worthy - but they won't do that because most restaurants think grilled cheese is for kids and make it the cheapest way possible. I think Cracker Barrel restaurants used to have good sourdough, but I haven't checked in the last few years. Try your grilled cheese this way and let me know what you think. Take care.
@@DavidsTutorials interesting. Maybe one of these days but honestly I've never even tried sourdough bread in my life lol.
Thank you!
You're quite welcome! Sorry for the delay in responding (it's a YT thing), but I do appreciate your comment.
I got my mom butter bell, thanks for sharing how to use it!!!
Let me know how your Mom likes it!
Here bec the butter post on r/cooking had me stumped
Great video!
Thanks, J! Glad you found it helpful.
thanks, friend!!
Happy to share, Zachary. Take care.
Me too, Cynthia -- thanks David!
You're quite welcome!
I recently got one. Mine was called a butter keeper but it is the same thing. Thanks for the tip on how to put the butter in. I didn't Pack the putter enough and it went into the water and was kind of soggy. I am new at this so I guess it takes practice.
You're right, Tony. My brother-in-law did the same thing. Sorry for the delay in responding (it's a YT thing), but I do appreciate your comment.
It’s 2022 and Dave saved my day
Happy to hear that!
so many people have indulged in the joy of a butter bell thanks to this video (including me)! thanks for the tutorial :)
You're very welcome!
Unwrap a stick of butter allow to soften on opened wrapper. when soft slice into pieces , press into bell. When full place wrapper on top and smush down to compact, remove wrapper.
Great suggestions, Amber! Sorry for the delay in responding (it's a YT thing), but I do appreciate your comment.
I just found a butter bell at local thrift store for $6, love love love it.
Just be sure to change the water about twice a week. Enjoy!
Wow! I had never heard of such item, but I know I need one! … I had to search how to use a “butter bell” after seeing one in a thrifting video. Thanks for the video!
You're quite welcome, Lolita Lolita! Be careful when you get yours, though. Mine (the one in this video) broke, and when I ordered a replacement (from AMZ), it was not well-made, and the bell would not fit into the well! I had to send it back and order a different one. If you can buy one at a thrift store or brick-and-mortar store, you can at least make sure the two pieces fit together. Take care.
@@DavidsTutorials great advise, thanks!
Never knew I needed one until now.
Ha ha ha! It's always amazing to me to find things "I never knew I needed." However I have no problem walking through malls or mega-Marts and seeing thousands of things I would never need in a million years! 😂
I learnt about these recently and now I'm on the hunt for one
I bought one from Amazon to replace the one in this video (it broke!) and had to return it because the fit didn't work. The second one I got worked great.
wow i didnt ebem know what a butterbell was. Thanks for sharing :)
Happy to help! Sorry for the delay in responding (it's a YT thing), but I do appreciate your comment.
Ordered one of these from Lehmans and this video is showing me how to use it
I hope you truly enjoy it!
This video changed my life. I can't believe people just leave butter on The counter, gross! Thank you
You're so welcome! Happy to help. Take care.
Cool to see tutorials and useful info from an older guy like yourself, gives me hope if I ever reach your age. I'm considering buying a butter bell since some of my butter went bad in a glass tupperware container after I left it out for a week not knowing as much about butter as I thought.
Apparently butter in a butter bell can last up to 30 days? but that is to say, do you have to wash it out every 20-30 days or whenever you empty it? or do you just keep adding new butter when you get low? I feel as though if my butter went bad, any small remnant in the dish could go bad even if the bulk was newer.
My grandparents always had their butter in a covered dish on the counter, I never noticed my grandmother washing it, but their butter never went bad, so I was very surprised when my own did.
You should change the water in the bell every 2 to 3 days, and other commenters have said it's good to add a bit of salt to the water to help keep out bacteria. We all keep learning, and YT is a great place to share what we learn.
He even has the music!!!
It is always a question whether to add music or not. Sometimes it makes a video better, sometimes it just gets in the way. I know people out there in RUclips land feel strongly both ways. I'm still undecided, and much depends on the content of the video.
Such a wholesome video. 10/10 production. Never change David !
Thanks so much, Melanie! I want my channel to be a place people can feel safe when they start to watch. Can't control other people, but I can control me and my channel.
I have this butter bell for 3 weeks now I went to store for less bought it $ 1.99 I was looking for small sugar jar it was taped off so when I got home I removed the tape it's something I never seen before. I put sugar in it anyway and ant's still crawl into it. I know that is not for sugar use. So for some reason I look the bottom of the jar this morning while eating breakfast. This is what I found out it is for butter use lol. I'm sure will enjoy my Butter Bell from now on thank you for the Info.
Sounds like my life story. Only recently discovered what a butter bell is myself. What part of the world are you in that you have ant problems? I have never had ant problems here in toro to Canada too cold lol.
Thanks for that feedback, Emely. Sorry for the delay in responding (it's a YT thing), but I do appreciate your comment.
I grew up with this and absolutely love it and don't understand anyone who doesn't use one. Occasionally in the summer though I will stick it in the fridge. They keep fruit flies and moths from getting stuck on your butter...though I'm sort of guessing and going from what I've seen at other people's homes who don't use a bell. Strange I never actually knew the name for it, butter bell, I just called it butter cup,lol.
Thanks for sharing that, Elohi! Take care.
Came here to learn about a butter bell. First time I heard of it on fb
Happy to help, Leah!
I just learned something new today ... or what I do is I just buy kerrygold butter in the tub , its soft pure butter .
Never tried that - is it diluted with some other oil to keep it soft?
I enjoyed this. I wonder what you do for a living.
Sorry for the delay in responding (it's a YT thing), but I do appreciate your comment. Basically, I'm RETIRED!! But I also make RUclips videos (grin!) and build websites, teach teachers how to teach, write concert band music, and direct the local community band. And in all my SPARE time ...
Hi David. Thanks for the video. I have a question. Okay. You fill the bell. Then you use, lets say half the butter. When an how do you refill? Do you use it all, and the refill? If you don't use it all, won't yo have old butter at the bottom? Will wait for your response. Thanks
I generally use all the butter before refilling the bell. Check out my video on how to soften butter in the microwave - that helps when it's time to refill. ruclips.net/video/lgo8mJ_vCSw/видео.html
I bought one, watched how to soften butter - and it was launched!
Hey, how about that! Now softened butter for all occasions!
I like this as I have seen these but was too embarrassed to ask about it. Hey, do you have any video's on how to use RUclips? I dont know how to even ask a question unless I watch a video like I just did.I have been bumbling my way thru for years. ty
Yes, Alva! Check out this one: ruclips.net/video/DibwtFZrdkg/видео.html
And this one: ruclips.net/video/OQp5F687qiA/видео.html
It's always fun to learn new things - even new ways to watch RUclips!
A helpful trick is to consider how the video you're looking for would be titled. Like this topic, you wouldn't want to ask "how do I use a butter bell?" Consider what kind of title the video would have instead, your search would be more like "how to use a butter bell."
Ooooh, you need to put water in it! I was so confused lol. I have had my butter just chillin in the bell on the counter top without any water and when I brought the bell up, all the butter fell down
Oh, my! I think it's in the video (I've slept since I made it! Grin!) that you need to securely mash the slightly softened butter into the bottom of the bell to keep it from falling into the water. Enjoy it!
The butter plate jew fears the butter bell enthusiast.
That doesn't make sense, but does manage to sound vaguely disparaging. Care to clarify?
@@DavidsTutorials It's a light hearted quip designed to complement you (an actual person) at the expense of an unnamed unharmed hypothetical person of the kosher persuasion. Smooth brained thin skinned surface level internet users may refer to it as an antisemitic remark. If you've been online long enough you've likely came across "virgin vs chad" memes contrasting aspects of the two personalities in reference to a particular subject with the implication being the latter is superior, e.g., "The virgin 9/11 staircase utilizer fears the chad jumper."
David, I just loved your video. More please about everything. I'm off to look up your others.
But I'd rather enjoy your company without the aggrevating music in the background! Or, lower volume.
"I might just use that butter on bread after". Yep, that's me too. I'd be pouring the soup into that bowl after. Every skerrick.
Love to see your take on good old welsh rarebit
Thanks so much for your feedback, Dawn. Yes, I have been working on making the music much less intrusive - the very best music is never actually noticed. I've been posting two new videos per week for coming up on two months now - wondering how long I can keep that going. I've got PLENTY of topics. Sorry, I've never explored Welsh rarebit. My mom used to call it "Welsh rabbit." 😄 Take care.
Got mine at a vintage second hand store only one left i was so happy 5.00
Yay! You got a pretty good deal there.
I'm not sure if you can help. I've bought a Butter Bell from Amazon and shipped it back because the lid doesn't sit flush with the container. My replacement is the same way, are the lids suppose to rock back and forth? Thank you
Hi, Amyk5260. When the first one I had broke, I bought a replacement on Amazon. The bell did not fit inside the well, and I returned it. The next one wobbles a bit when in place, but not bad enough to replace it. If I have to replace this one, I think I'll go to a flea market or a thrift store, where I can actually put hands on the thing to see its quality before purchasing it. If the one you have wobbles just a bit when put together, I'd say that's no big deal. But if it truly rocks back and forth, I'd send it back and write a scorching review on the product, warning others not to buy this item unless they are okay with shoddy workmanship. I don't like being negative, but if it keeps someone else from feeling they wasted their money, I feel it's better to let them know.
Does the type of water matter? Tap, filtered, boiled (and cooled)? Thanks
As far as I know, just use clean water and you'll be fine. The butter should never touch it.
what about the air pocket that forms at the bottom as the butter gets scooped out? is that ok?
I've never had a problem with that.
When you try to take out the softened butter... won't it just fall into the water as you take the top up? Or are you supposed to flip the whole thing first and pull the bottom part up?
Nope. Just watch the WHOLE video and you'll see why it doesn't fall into the water when you lift it out. DO NOT flip the thing or the water in the well will go everywhere.
When I use the butter do I need to add more water to the container so that it touches the butter or is it ok to have a gap between the butter and the water? Thanks!
No. The water never touches the butter. There's an air bubble trapped inside the bell, so you only need enough water to seal against the rim of the bell.
What’s stopping the butter from sliding into the water after using it a couple times?
Hi, LarenaWalsh3554! You should be sure the bell is dry before mashing the butter into it. That way, the butter will stick to the smooth ceramic of the bell and won't detach and go into the water. Good luck and have fun!
What is this background music? Can somebody tell me please? I want to find it.
Sorry, I'm not sure that music is for sale. It is "stock" music that came as part of one of the video editing packages I purchased to make these tutorials. I simply browsed through the tunes that came with the package and selected this one as background music. But I'm glad you like it.
How often do you change out the water? Thanks.
All the guidance I've read says every 2-4 days, but I've kept it for more than a week with no problems. Enjoy!
That transition at 1:05
Grin! I guess you can tell that was me playing around with one of my video editor programs. Fun, fun.
Aqui no Brasil usamos outro tipo de recipiente pra manteiga, bem menos eficiente que esse. Vou procurar na online para comprar, achei excelente!
Espero que você possa encontrar e obter um bom!
@@DavidsTutorials could you use a tiny jar and a bigger jar?
so is there a column of air between the butter and the water or is the surface of the butter in contact with the water?? Also, is this better than just a standard butter dish with a lid?
Sorry for the delay in responding (it's a YT thing), but I do appreciate your comment. To answer your questions, yes, the "bubble" of air keeps the water from contacting the butter. And I actually use both the dish and the bell. I use the bell for spreading butter on things like pancakes and fresh bread, and I use the dish for chopping off a chunk of yummy for cooking. (See my BEST Steak Ever video here: ruclips.net/video/s2-RzHO-Jvw/видео.html)
My butter is always falling out of the bell into the water. Granted it’s been quite warm here but looks for tips to keep it in the bell. TIA
You simply have to mash the butter into the bell more firmly. Maybe try it about a quarter of the amount at a time?
I don't know if this would work in Australia, as someone out temps inside reach so high, the buyer would slide into the water.
I think as long as the butter is not liquid, it will stay in the bell. The key is to press it firmly into the bell so there is no air gap on the sides or bottom. Try it and see.
Question: Is it important to have contact between the butter and the water? That is, when the butter has been half used and diminished, should I increase the water level in the base? thanks!
@Ainslee Umlah Nah yo, the water doesn't touch the butter. There is a bubble of air between them. Imagine or test by filing a big bowl with water, and then putting a see-through glass into the bowl upside down. You;ll see the water does not go up, into the glass unless you let air escape.
Ainslee, Christopher is correct. If you have a large transparent glass, fill it 2/3 with water, then invert a smaller (empty) transparent glass and push it gently down on the water in the bigger glass. You'll see how the air in the smaller glass keeps the water out. Sorry for the delay in responding (it's a YT thing), but I do appreciate your comment.
I’m here because I’m seeing these for sale on-line, what is that thing? Now I know.
So are you going to get a butter bell and try it out?
Someone commented add 1/4 tsp. salt to the water to prevent mold and change the water every 3 days.
Changing the water often is a good idea. However, I've used this for more than 10 years now with no salt and no problems. Your mileage may vary.
Wait, what do you mean "it will displace the water"? If I put too much water, i.e.: higher than the most outer layer of the butter in the bell, won't the butter submerge into the water? ... Or is butter supposed to be submerged; and of so, won't the butter begin to mix into water?
Nope, not at all. To check it out put water into a glass bowl, then turn a small clear glass upside down and push it down into the water. You'll see the water does not go into the glass.
How often do you change the water out?
Change the water every 3 - 4 days. Give it a sniff to be sure.
Theresa, I found mine for 3.00 @ Good Will:)
I just got one at Goodwill for $2 and I didn't know it had a bell inside! I already love it.
Hope you're still enjoying it!! Sorry for the delay in responding (it's a YT thing), but I do appreciate your comment.
What is the ideal temperature for this to work? I live in a hot place and am concerned it will melt and fall into the butter
I live in the SE USA, where it gets quite warm. I should think any temperature where you can live comfortably would be fine. However, it might be worth testing, just to see. Let us know if you find a temperature where the butter releases from the bell.
Do you need to change the water out? How often?
I thought I covered that in the video? Did you watch all of it? Answer: yes. Period: 3-4 days. Add salt to the water to keep it fresher.
How long will the butter last on the counter?
I have never tested how long butter will last on the counter. If you change the water and keep the well clean, it should probably last quite a long time. If you test it and find out, please let me know.
can you tell me how you created your video affects?
Camtasia. Not cheap, but not expensive.
I bought a butter bell that had fenestration (holes) in the walls of the bell, it was designed this way. Unfortunately my butter went to mold very quickly. 😢
So sorry to hear that. Perhaps the holes let in the mold spores? I've never had a problem with that, but then, I don't have any holes in mine.
My kid asked for one & I was thinking this isn't going to help until it's NOT 80 in the house anymore. I look forward to Fall & it's only June.
When it's warm in the house, you simply have to be sure to mash the butter firmly into the bell. Voice of experience here.
How much water in the well for the butter bell?
Enough to cover the rim of the bell when it's inverted into the well. It doesn't matter if it's a bit more than that, because the air inside the bell will keep the water away from the butter.
Do you change the water?
Yes, I change the water at least once every 10 years. 🤣😆🤣 Just kidding! I actually change water about twice a week.
Will it melt in the summer?
It hasn't for me. I guess it depends on how hot it is where you keep it. I wouldn't advise leaving it in the sun.
