Looks cute but wonder if it's useful and also I hate to say many people nowadays buy tubs of whatever is not actually butter...[/quote] A few years ago, I just gave up on the whole cold-butter struggle and started keeping my butter in a butter dish on the counter. (Used one of those butter bells with the water as a first half-measure, but I hated it.) I usually slice off a reasonable amount, but I’ve put out a whole stick before and taken up to a month to use it, and no problems so far. I do prefer salted butter for toast, which may factor in a little to the longevity. [/quote]
