Do you use a Butter Bell?
I leave 1/2 stick (real) butter in dish on the counter at home and it's fine, but we're living on the road for a while and found mold in unrefrigerated butter (heat, humidity?) so looked into getting a Butter Bell.
I know butter has has to be softened enough to press tightly in the Bell. I heard a guy telling how much he likes his, but other opinions are welcomed. DH hates hard butter at the table. |
not sure why your having mold issues... I've done the butter in a plastic cover ( shower cap looking saran covers) with no issues... I have had a butter bell in the past and love it... i think more for the look of it tho...... I have RV'd with butter both ways. Maybe your not eating it fast enough.. bahahahahaha.... seriously.. prehaps put less in bowl?

I bought the butter bell but could not keep my butter up in it. I turned it over and just sit it on the counter. It works fine and looks like it is sitting on a little stand. That might not be appropriate for an rv traveling down the road. "smile" I find the only time I get mold in mine is I use a butter knife to spread the butter on bread and accidentally get some bread in it. My mother kept her butter on the cabinet in a plastic container with a lid on it. It was always fine. If we get our RV up and running, I will probably use plastic so I don't have to worry about breakage.

Never heard of a butter bell.

This is the one I have. Works fine. Never had a mold problem, but, we go through it pretty fast. You don't have to do anything to the stick of butter but put it in there.

I have used one off and on for years. Only had mold once, not sure why. Usually I put my butter in a Rubbermaid container-1 cup size I think- with a screw-on lid.

Never heard of a butter bell, either. It's very attractive, but probably not a necessity. A dish with plastic wrap should work as well.
