What's that for?

>>14134738
It's a type of storage container for butter where water is used to seal the butter from the air.

>>14134760
But why would you not just eat the butter?

>>14134709
He got gay married to the finger lime guy.

>>14134709
Based butter bell

>>14134709
he accidentally got some baking soda in there and it made mustard gas

>>14134774
Because not everyone is american enough to stomache eating butter by the brick

>>14135088
We’d have a p’tit mot with you about butter consumption...

>>14134760
doesn't the butter get wet from the initial placement?

>>14135104
butter is waterproof faggot

>>14135104
>he doesn't get his butter wet

Why not just keep the butter in a tupperware container?

>>14134760
Whats the matter with that? Its not like it goes bad.

Butter bells are THE SHIT if you eat butter nearly every day.

I have one but it doesn't do me any good because mold starts to develop due to my lazy ass not changing out the water or eating any of the butter. You gotta swap the water out at least every 3 days, which isn't that big of a task if you eat out of it every day. I probably need room temp butter like 3 times a month on average.

The water in a butter bell regulates temperature better.

I havent tried tupperware but I do have a butter crock and I've had enough butter go rancid/moldy that I think I am willing to try alternative methods.

The butter bell is an old method that worked before the industrial age. Now we have airtight containers so maybe those are better.

>>14134709
Refrigeration.

>having unspreadable butter

Absolutely disgusting

>>14135281
Either scrape thin layers off so it's spreadable or just microwave a lump for 5 seconds. It's notthat hard.

>>14134709
Personally I store all my butter in containers at -10PSI to ensure less spoilage.

>>14135239
what is a butter dish

Airtight container in the fridge ?

Only time I ever have butter go gross is when it's balls hot and a little butter bell ain't going to change the weather.

>>14135235
>congealed dairy doesnt go bad

nigga what?

>>14135235
yes it can, butter can go moldy

>>14135235
it goes rancid.

Been here the whole time

>>14134709
>What happened to the butter bell guy?
>>14134709
Are you asking about ButterBellAnon from many years ago who used to hide his butter from his vegan gf in a butter bell under a thin layer of margarine ?

>>14136482

why doesnt the butter slip out of the lid

Some people here are saying that the butter gets mold or goes rancid quickly, so can you salt the water or something to make it last longer? Or is the problem the fats in the butter rather than the water?

>>14134709
Why do you remind us of that horror?

>>14136546
Ok what happened here

>>14136526
People who say that either live in a hot and humid area that don't use air conditioning or simply don't use enough butter to warrant buying a butter bell.

>>14136571
The water keeps the butter from going bad

>>14136482
That's cool. Nice to know about it.

>>14136522
butter is sticky. its not melted, its just room temp and soft.

>>14136482
Shame that it stops working once you've created an air space.

>>14136571
They got trapped in a butter bell and died from being smothered in butter, the bell then broke and the pressure change flash fried them.

>>14134738
In a very hot climate with no AC it would keep your butter from melting. all it does is make butter get moldy.

>>14135239
>You gotta swap the water out at least every 3 days
OR
just use any covered dish.

>>14136526
>goes rancid quickly
butter is shelf stable and will not go rancid on the counter. but store it in water and it grows mold.

>>14136511
Pls respond

>>14136482
My friend had one of these and i lost my shit when she told me about it.
