Has anyone used a butter crock? I recently switched to using butter because its more natural and I'm curious about these things.

I love my butter bells - I have two of them. I turn most of my butter into ghee, and butter bells are absolutely perfect for ghee storage. I make ghee up two sticks of butter at a time and pour into the butter bells while still liquid. I put them in the fridge just till they're solid enough to turn over (an hour or so). The ghee stays fresh in the butter bell for a long time. (I change the water every time I use some ghee, and every few days for the backup butter bell till I get to it.)Mr_Dove said:Has anyone used a butter crock?

I adore my FoodSaver and use it all the time but I have to say that in a head-to-head contest, ghee in a butter bell beats ghee in a FoodSaver container - hands down - for super-fast ease of use and cleanup. That said, convenience is a totally subjective thing so if the FS container works for you that's fabulous!GB said:How hard is it to stick the hose in the canister and hit one button? I would not call that inconvenient at all. I think it is as inconvenient or even less than having to change water in a bell every other day or so. Neither options seem that inconvenient to me.
Give it a try and see what happens!GB said:I make ghee from two sticks of butter too. I store it in s small foodsaver container which vacuums all the air out so it is sort of like using a butter bell. I guess I could do the same thing with butter. I had never thought of that. Now I don't have to buy a bell
I just put two sticks in a canister. My wife thought I was crazy, but that is nothing newFranca said:Give it a try and see what happens!
