## Questions & Answers

**Q: how long will butter stay fresh in this crock?**
A: I have had it stay fresh up to 3 weeks before it's empty.   I change the water every 2 - 3 days.  I use organic butter.  Tried the regular brands and had them go bad.  Buy the good stuff and you'll be amazed

**Q: Where is it made?**
A: I really do not know where this item is made.  I bought it in red and believe the place it was made was listed with other information about the product.  I am enjoying mine.  It works great and I am thinking of buying some for presents.

**Q: How do you clean the bell and how frequently do you clean ut?**
A: Great question, please clean thoroughly in between uses and make sure the lid is completely dry before packing new butter into the lid. More info can be found here - https://www.butterbell.com/learn-more

**Q: Is the whole product glazed, inside and out?**
A: The lid of the Butter Bell crock (the rim) is unglazed due to the fact that it sits in the kiln to be fired on this side, thus no glazing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A smart-looking affordable butter bell that seems to work
*by G***R on January 25, 2025*

The matte black ceramic matches my Pfaltzgraff Midnight Sun pattern really well, which is how I came to the product. So far the bell works great; if you appropriately push the room temp butter into the bell and fill it up with 1/3 cup water as directed, the butter stays fresh, soft, and there isn't really excess water on the butter itself, just the rim of the bell. The handle is easy to grab and the bell can stand upside-down on a table when opened. So this is better than hard fridge butter, melty or dusty exposed butter, or a large oblong butter dish lid that doesn't have a handle and requires you to have Shaq hands to palm it. My one note is that I agree with the person who said that a marker/line inside showing you how far to fill the water would be helpful so that you don't have to guess or use a measuring cup. I also have not used this in the summertime yet, when the butter might be more prone to slipping. If it works then, that will be the full test.
