Le Creuset Stoneware Butter Crock, 6 oz., White

This stoneware butter dish from Le Creuset, designed in the European style, can go seamlessly from refrigerator to microwave to table, making it both decorative and functional. Capable of holding two sticks of butter, the butter crock utilizes the same principle that kept butter fresh before the advent of refrigeration - immersion in water.

The high-fired stoneware construction, with a non-porous enamel glaze, ensures that the butter crock will not absorb odors or flavors, and it is also resistant to staining and chipping. This durable dish is dishwasher-safe, making it easy to clean. Furthermore, the exterior of the jar and lid are graded in color, ranging from dark to light, adding a touch of elegance to the traditional French country style.

To use the butter crock, simply pack the cup on the underside of the lid with six ounces (approximately 1-1/2 sticks) of butter, and then fill the crock one-third of the way up with cold water. Inverting the lid/cup into the water creates an air-tight seal, which helps to keep the butter spreadable at room temperature. When it's time to serve, simply open the lid and set it on its wide, flat knob. For best results, the water should be changed every few days.

In addition to the butter crock, Le Creuset also offers a range of other kitchen items in the same classic French country style, including canisters and spice jars, all of which are available in matching or coordinating colors. Each item is covered by a lifetime limited warranty against defects, making them a reliable and long-lasting addition to any kitchen.

Whether you're looking for a functional yet decorative butter dish or a complete collection of traditional French-inspired kitchen accessories, the Le Creuset stoneware line offers a timeless and versatile solution. With its durable construction, easy maintenance, and elegant design, this butter crock is sure to become a cherished part of your kitchen for years to come.
