Salted butter can safely stay at room temperature for 1-2 weeks in a covered dish. The salt acts as a preservative. Unsalted butter should be refrigerated. Keep away from heat and direct sunlight. When in doubt, refrigerate.
Pack softened butter into the bell (lid), fill the base with cold water, and invert the bell into the base. The water creates an airtight seal that keeps butter fresh without refrigeration for up to 30 days. Change water every 2-3 days.
Butter easily absorbs surrounding flavors. Solutions: Use a covered dish with tight seal, wrap butter in foil before placing in dish, store away from strong-smelling foods, or use a butter bell on the counter instead.
Avoid if possible—microwaves heat unevenly, creating melted spots. Better options: leave on counter 30-60 minutes, cut into small pieces (softens faster), or grate cold butter. For baking, room-temperature butter is essential for proper creaming.
