Le Creuset Butter Crock, 6 oz., Cerise

This stoneware butter dish seamlessly blends functionality with decorative appeal, making it suitable for use from the refrigerator to the microwave and onto your dining table. Designed in a European style, it can accommodate two sticks of butter comfortably.

Historically, before the advent of refrigeration, butter remained fresh by being submerged in water. Following this traditional method, Le Creuset's stoneware butter crock utilizes the same principle to maintain your butter’s spreadability at room temperature.

To utilize the crock effectively, start by packing the cup located beneath the lid with six ounces of butter, which is about 1.5 sticks. Next, fill the crock with cold water until it reaches one-third full. After this, invert the lid/cup into the water to create an air-tight seal. When you need to spread some butter, simply lift the lid and rest it on its wide, flat knob. For optimal performance, remember to change the water every few days.

Crafted in Thailand from high-fired stoneware and finished with a non-porous enamel glaze, the butter crock is durable and practical. Its material ensures that it won't absorb unwanted odors or flavors, and it stands up to staining and chipping, making it dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning.

The exterior of the jar and lid is available in a stunning array of colors, showcasing a beautiful gradient from dark to light shades. In addition to the butter crock, Le Creuset offers a range of kitchen canisters and spice jars that complement the same traditional French country design, allowing for matching or coordinating color schemes throughout your kitchen.

Each piece not only serves as a functional kitchen tool but also makes for an excellent gift. Additionally, it comes backed by a lifetime limited warranty against defects, ensuring a lasting investment in quality.

In summary, this elegant butter dish is more than just a kitchen accessory—it's a blend of style, tradition, and practicality, reflecting Le Creuset's commitment to quality and design. Whether for personal use or as a thoughtful gift, it embodies a harmonious balance between aesthetic appeal and everyday functionality.
