In our house we use real butter<\/strong>. I used to use spreads that I thought were healthier but surprise, butter is not bad for us! So ever since, it has been real butter. The only bad part was that it was not spreadable. I started buying spreadable butter<\/strong> but that costs a lot more for very little and with our big family, we were flying through those small tubs. Looking for a solution, I learned that butter does not need to be kept in the refrigerator to stay fresh. That’s right, when you use a butter pot, you can have nice spreadable butter anytime you want without paying extra for those tubs in the supermarket.<\/p>\n

If you are wondering what a butter pot<\/strong><\/a> is, it is a pot that has a lid that you pack the butter into and then you add cold water to the base. You leave it out on the counter at room temperature and all you have to do is change the water every 3-4 days and replace the butter as needed.<\/p>\n

The French<\/strong> have been storing their butter like this for years. The water creates an airtight seal that will keep butter fresh for up to 30 days<\/strong> but you know what, it never lasts that long without refilling in our house!<\/p>\n
