My partner bought one of these things and I hate it.
- So you're saying that in your opinion, it's a crock of shit? 😏
  
  Godammit
  
  🥁🥁Tish.
- Same. Honestly it got me to stop putting butter on my toast. It's so nasty.
- It's a French butter bell. Why do you hate it.
  
  French
  
  Wet butter
  
  I just found the whole process with it irritating. Just give me a ceramic butter dish with a lid. Trust me, butter doesn't last long enough here to go bad.
- I've had 2 of these and both got moldy
  
  Yeh these weren't meant for unsalted butter
These are actually great for keeping room temp spreadable butter. Just remember to change water and wash the bottom and top well before reuse.
- How often do you change it? My mom has one of these and I think it's cool but never really thought about it.
  
  Change water every few days. Clean it well. after every stick you go through
  
  I have a recurring task called "rotate butter" scheduled once a month which seems about right to me.
How does one access the butter?
- You lift up the lid/bell.
  
  Ooohhh I see. What a weird and very French contraption.
  
  and the butter come with the lid, or stay in the water?
- Asking the important questions.
I don't think I like this.
I don't know why people in the comments hate these. I use one and never had any issues with it. No spoiled butter either. Just replace the water regularly
- They aren't really necessary; a butter dish works fine if you're using butter regularly. You can also just plop the stick in the dish, while with a bell you have to manually pack it in there (I assume? Never used one personally)
  Also the main reason is probably just unfamiliarity
- Butter's not supposed to taste like soap??
French butter crock.
where do I put saddam hussein
