[quote=Anonymous]I tried using a butter bell for a while but never seemed to master the nuances of keeping water in the bottom. You have to get your butter soft enough to get it into the butter compartment...I always ended up with slightly wet butter that would fall out into the water at the bottom before I used it up. And the butter bell itself is kind of awkward to hold.

I agree with PPs that it's fine to leave some butter on the counter. I like the idea of leaving a smaller amount than a whole stick. If it's a matter of DD's morning routine, you could get out the right amount the night before so it's soft in the morning, or get it out when you get up so it's ready for her. But if it stays out longer it'll be fine, except maybe in the worst of summer if you don't have a/c on.

I was at Hill's Kitchen yesterday and saw an adorable butter dish made to hold a half stick, which could be perfect for leaving just enough on the counter. It was made of heavy ceramic similar to those Emile Entry butter bells, but not too heavy to handle because it was so small, and it came in several fun colors.[/quote]
