Airtight Ceramic Butter Crock

An airtight ceramic butter crock in red, blue or white. A sealed dish keeps butter fresh and, just as importantly, keeps it from taking on the smell of everything else in the fridge — butter is largely fat, and fat absorbs odours readily.

Ceramic also insulates, so butter in a crock on the counter softens more slowly than butter on an open dish, and butter from the fridge warms up more gently rather than sweating.

Why you'll love it

• Airtight — butter stays fresh and doesn't pick up fridge smells.
• Insulating ceramic — more stable temperature than an open dish.
• Three colours — red, blue, white.
• Table-ready — goes straight from counter to breakfast.

Details

• Material: glazed ceramic, airtight lid
• Colours: red, blue, white

Wash it between blocks rather than adding new butter on top of old. The residue underneath is what goes off first.
