I don't know about brands but I have a round one which works great and one that is more of a square type. The square one will have the butter fall out of it easier so I prefer the round one.

We are winter vacationing in TX and mold I found (1 time) surprised me. I'll probably get a Bell, because I think they're kind of a novelty, but my reason for asking was to see if there's a favorite brand.

The round ones are a pain to get the butter in. I use the rectangle one. I haven't found a use for cold hard butter except for some baking. I don't allow crumbs or smears of other foods in the butter. A utensil is used to get butter out of the keeper to the food, not used to spread and go back to the container. Even the young grands know to do this. Same with mayo or other spreads. Do not spread and put the utensil back in the jar. That is a big no no in my house.

If you leave the butter stick in the wrapper, opened of course, the bowl stays much cleaner and fresher.

Oh my gosh, no don't use the whole container to spread it. Yuck, no, what I meant by it falls out easier with the square type ones is that it seems to fall out back into the water dish and then next time I lift it up to use it the big clump of butter is floating around in the water. And yes, we use utensils in my household too...

I'm original poster. Found it new in box, not used $6.99 at Don-Wes Flea Market yesterday. Love it already.

I meant no utensil is used to spread the butter and then used again to get more butter. My bell has handles so I can lift the butter part out of the water and set it back in without any water being spilled and no over flow. Never had butter get in the water. I don't use the invert butter bell. |
