The butter crock originated in the Middle Ages as a way of storing butter without refrigeration. The Le Creuset Butter Crock makes a wonderful and innovative way to keep butter soft. A great conversation piece with an easy-to-clean nonstick interior, this butter crock is dishwasher safe. The crock's crisp and clean blue-enameled stoneware is the perfect match for any decor. To use, pack the cup on the underside of the lid with about 1.5 sticks of butter. Fill the crock one-third of the way up with cold water. Invert the lid into the water to create an airtight seal. When you're ready to spread, open the crock lid and set it on its wide, flat lid knob. Change the water every few days.
