This Butter Crock Keeps Butter Fresh and Spreadable

Whether slathering it on toast, adding it to mashed potatoes, or using it in a recipe, like lemony butter cookies, butter is an essential ingredient in many kitchens. But when it comes to keeping it fresh and free of odors, tucking that half-used stick of butter back in the refrigerator isn’t the best way to store butter — it ends up lost in the back of a shelf, only to go bad. Plus, it’s exasperating trying to spread cold, hard butter.

While it once seemed like an impossible feat, Amazon shoppers have found a way to keep butter soft, spreadable, and fresh: the display-worthy PriorityChef butter crock. This No. 1 bestselling butter keeper has been purchased over 1,000 times in the past month. Shop it now for $15 if you’re a Prime member.

PriorityChef Butter Crock

The PriorityChef butter crock won’t take up much room on the counter, as it measures 3.75 inches in diameter and is 4.25 inches tall. There’s no denying what’s in it, either, since it sports the word “butter” embossed in big capital letters on the base. This French-inspired butter keeper is a ceramic vessel consisting of two pieces: a base and a lid that holds the butter. The base is filled up to the designated line inside with cold water —  a key step, because the water keeps the butter soft. The second piece doubles as a lid and a crock. Fill the crock with butter and insert it into the water-filled base, creating an airtight seal.

This crock holds up to 1 1/3 sticks of standard-sized stick butter, which one shopper says is “plenty of butter to use for the week” in their home. According to the brand, it will keep butter fresh and spreadable for up to 30 days if it’s salted and 10 days for unsalted. When it’s time for a refresh, pop it in the dishwasher to clean it. The crock comes in multiple colors, and many are on sale, including black, turquoise, and yellow. Grab it in white for the best deal.

The butter crock has raked in over 5,300 five-star ratings from happy shoppers who love how well it keeps butter. It’s a “game-changer,” said one reviewer. “[The] butter is always soft and ready to spread,” they added. “This beautifully designed ceramic butter keeper maintains the perfect consistency, ensuring hassle-free spreading every time,” wrote another shopper. This crock “changed everything. No more torn bread from hard butter, and the butter is always fresh,” said a third shopper.

Snag the PriorityChef butter crock for $15 and end the frustration of having hard, unspreadable butter in the kitchen. It’s a win-win solution.
