Rediscover the French Butter Keeper: A Timeless Hack for Perfectly Soft Butter

A recent online video by content creator Kasia Zielona Sroka, known as @zielona_sroka, has highlighted an innovative kitchen accessory: the French butter keeper, also referred to as a water butter dish. This traditional method, which allows butter to be stored outside the refrigerator for up to two weeks, is gaining renewed attention for its practicality and ability to maintain butter at a soft, spreadable consistency. The video demonstrates the simple, two-part design of the ceramic butter keeper. A smaller cup, holding the butter, is inverted and placed into a larger bowl filled with water. The water creates an airtight seal, preventing oxygen from reaching the butter and thus slowing down spoilage. "I hadn't heard of a water butter dish before, and I didn't know anyone who used one," Sroka states in her video. "When I first heard about it, I thought it would solve my problem." She explains that her husband consumes butter, but it often went rancid when left out. Sroka advises viewers to press the butter firmly into the smaller cup to ensure it stays in place and to change the water daily for optimal freshness. She also offers a supplementary tip for minimizing butter waste: dividing a standard block of butter into two halves, one for immediate use in the butter keeper and the other for freezing. This ensures that butter remains fresh and readily available without unnecessary spoilage. The video, uploaded on April 16, 2024, has garnered significant attention, with viewers expressing interest in adopting this traditional storage method.
