Quote from Nishnabotna "I've been trying to figure out how to keep the warm soft butter from running down into the water."
There is also the "Butter Boat." It works a little differently then the Butter Bell. The butter never comes in contact with the water. You can add crushed ice on hot days. You might give it a try. Here are a couple websites that show what it is.
