& Beyond Butter Crock, French Butter Keeper - Fresh Soft Butter without Refrigeration, White, Porcelain -

This is my first bad review on Amazon. I've had other butter keeps, but I really like this because the shape is different, and it's small. The problem is there is no way for the top to stay on it without sliding off to one side as you can see in the image. There needs to be a gasket, a Ridge, or something so that the lid sits on the base without moving. What happens is the seal with the water is broken, which allows bacteria and air to get in - defeating the purpose. I tried to return this, Amazon gave me 24 hours to ship it back, which is ridiculous, and I had to ship it back to the United States, track shipping, at my own expense. This would've cost me more than I paid for the butter keep. Don't waste your money, and you might wanna stay away from this company too.

This butter keeper is fantastic. I wash it out once a week, change the water daily, and have spreadable butter whenever I want it. I have taken to filling the reservoir just short of the indicated line, as I find the water can overflow if filled right to the water mark. Every home should have one.
