Q: if i color the water will my butter change color too?
A: Since butter is mostly oil and doesn't mix well (pun intended) with water, we doubt you could color the butter in your Butter Bell.

Q: How long does it take for the butter to become soft?
A: When you put the butter in the Butter Bell, it will probably take several hours to reach room temperature. Putting it in the crock doesn't actually make it warm up faster, it just keeps it safe to eat as it remains at room temperature for extended periods of time.

Q: As I use up the butter in my keeper, will the remaining, unused butter stay fresh, or will I need to replace what has been used immediately?
A: No, you do not need to immediately replace the butter in your butter bell. Occasionally, you will need to change the water, but the butter will stay fresh for up to 30 days.

Q: My butter keeps falling out of the lid and into the water. How can I avoid this?
A: If you're using real butter and you slice and pack it as shown in the video, you should have no trouble getting your butter to stay in the Butter Bell. You should also be sure that the butter you're using is cool and solid when you pack it.

Q: Does the butter fall out into the water when it sits out and gets warm?
A: No. As long as you use real butter and pack it tightly, your Butter Bell won't have any problems holding onto it.
