Throughout the seasons keep your butter soft enough for instant use when stored on the benchtop or in the pantry using this traditionally styled Butter Keeper. The secret of this keeper is in the airtight environment created when you put water in the base and fill the cup with fresh butter then invert the cup over the water displacing any air. When youre ready to use the butter simply lift out the cup and stand on the flat lifting knob. Suitable for use in the dishwasher this set matches perfectly with other items from the White Basic range.
