SALVAT French Butter Keep

The base of the crock is filled with a small amount of cold water. When you place the lid containing the butter into the base, the water creates an airtight seal that prevents oxygen from reaching the butter, keeping it fresh and spreadable at room temperature.

For the best results and to maintain freshness, we recommend changing the water every two to three days. Using cold, filtered water helps keep the butter at an ideal consistency.

Yes, the stoneware is microwave safe. This is particularly useful if you need to slightly soften your butter before packing it into the lid, though be sure to use short intervals to avoid melting it completely.

When packed correctly, the butter will stay securely in the lid. We recommend using a butter knife to press the softened butter firmly into the dome, ensuring there are no air pockets, which helps it adhere to the stoneware.

Yes, the handmade stoneware is dishwasher safe. Its durable construction is designed for regular use, making cleanup simple and efficient.

This crock is designed to hold approximately one standard stick of butter (half a cup). It is perfectly sized for daily countertop use without taking up excessive space.
