Everyone should try a butter bell at least once.

Also known as a French butter dish. I agree and would highly recommend to everyone that eats butter

I've used them, but find an old fashioned butter dish on the counter works better.

Salted butter won't go rancid at room temps before its used.

I think that's probably the best option for most people. Those are much easier to use. I like the butter bell more because it can take me a couple of weeks to get through a stick of butter. It wouldn't go fully rancid in a butter dish in that time, but I don't like the oxidation layer that forms on the outside. Regardless, room-temperature butter allies unite!
