The article discusses the joys of buttering bread and the common problem of using cold, hard butter, which can ruin the experience. The author reflects on their struggles with remembering to soften butter or using the microwave without melting it. They share their solution: a butter crock, which keeps butter at a perfect spreading consistency by submerging it in water, preventing exposure to air. This method allows for easy access to creamy, spreadable butter, enhancing the overall enjoyment of eating fresh bread.
A butter crock consists of two pieces: a hollowed-out bell-shaped lid where the butter goes and a flat-bottomed container filled with water.
I asked for and received a butter crock this past Christmas, and it has significantly improved my butter experience by keeping it at ideal spreading consistency.
