bump, I've never heard of this in my life but boy would i love something like that

So you just submerge the butter in water? Wouldn't that make a mess?

>>17357587
the butter wont come in contact with water. there will be a air pocket between the butter and water as long as the butter is filled just short of the rim.
imagine placing a glass cup into water straight down, rim side down.

>>17357561
Delete this thread. They are not ready for the butter bell

>>17357561
No they work just fine, but are a bit of a pain to clean.

You don't need to even have to deal with one. You can just put a stick in a tupperware container or butter dish on the counter. No need to add unnecessary work.

>>17357561
I just keep butter in a butter dish like so on the side in my kitchen. It doesn’t go bad.

>>17357561
What would happen if I stored cum in that?

>>17357610
thats a butterbell too. youre supposed to fill the lid with butter and put a bit of water in the base essentially making it air tight.

how long does it keep just covered like you do?

>>17357622
You aren't supposed to put water in a butter dish.

>>17357654
*are

>>17357622
I’ve never had it go bad, but I use it within a week or two.

insane and unsanitary. it's be better to just leave it out on a fucking plate. If butter isn't safe in your kitchen/dining room you've got bigger problems: pests on the countertop or the air in your home isn't safe to breathe

>>17357693
Listen to this rich boy not inhaling a dozen bugs every day

>>17357610
I have one even more basic than that and have had the butter still be good at over a month at a room temperature

>>17357693
I just worry about the buttergeist it’s relentless in it’s search

>>17357561
No they work pretty good
However, I don't always like my butter to be so mushy I like to fling it off the knife into a pan

One thing to note is that the butter I leave out ina butter dish is salted, I don’t know if unsalted butter is more likely to go bad or not

How does this compare to the butter lamb?

It is

t. Experience

>>17357561
I’ve used one for quite a while & yeah it’s pretty great. Just freshen the water every day & you’re set.

>>17357561
>>17357579
>*explosively rips out your intestines through a small 2 inch opening in you're path*

Some butter always fall in the water at some point, also you get droplets of water in your butter from time to time.

>>17357561
Okay seriously, can someone explain the point of these?
Not being an ass; I’m genuinely curious.
I can see why this would have been absolutely ideal in the days before climate control, door/window weather stripping, etc.
>Worried about your precious butter on a hot day? lol calm the fuck down faggot, this butt-bell solves yo shit; see how it displace that water bruh? It mean that water be hermetically sealin up yo shit and also be heatsinking like a motherfucker for real though
Brilliant functional design.
But does it do anything today? If you have climate control, what does a bell do that a covered butter dish does not?

>>17357561
You can also achieve the ideal butter consistency by just putting it in the butter dish and leaving it on the fucking counter for a day.

>>17357614

take responsibility

>>17357838
If you dont live in the third world it's just a quirky thing to use when having people for diner.

>>17357598

I like how the background heads are also the actual heads of the other two crucified people
Clever

>>17357594
There should only be enough water to seal the bottom from air. You are not submerging the entire "cup" in water.

They're mold factories. Enjoy your poisoning because you don't want to let butter soften for 15 minutes.

Ours work perfectly. I’ve never had an issue with it going rancid or off. No mold at all. Really only worth it if you cook or spread butter on a regular basis. I’ve always used it before it went bad so I can’t tell you how long it can last.

And it takes longer than 15 minutes for it to get soft.

>>17357879
according to the photo you do submerge the bell. it supposedly insulates it from the outside heat.

>>17357561
>Abstract
>The use of a butter crock to store butter is hypothesized to lead to faster spoilage of the butter due to the increased temperature and humidity levels in the butter crock. A study was conducted to test this hypothesis by measuring the spoilage rates of butter stored in butter crocks and standard butter dishes. The results of the study showed that the butter stored in butter crocks spoiled at a significantly higher rate than the butter stored in standard butter dishes.

>>17357561
they have this at my boyfriend's house but I've never seen them put water in it

>>17358083
There’s a fill line. Hard to fuck up. It’s not going to work if you leave it by a window in like Florida. But if you put it in a cool dark corner the chance of spoilage is minimal.

>>17357561
I have one but don't use it. Unless you have butter sitting out for 2 months, it's not going to go bad by being left under a non air tight cover.

Butter Glock for reference. Perfect butter every time baby.

>>17358157
its always weird looking at images of glocks then seeing them next to other things and realizing that they're not just made of plastic

>>17358242
>it’s weird looking at something with with some primary components made out of metal next to other things and realizing metal is metal
Shit’s crazy, man

>>17358273
no i'm more talking about the size of glocks
i meant to say they always look tiny in pictures but when you actually handle one you quickly realize how much easier a rifle is to handle

Holy shit, I've actually never seen one. My girlfriend told me about them a couple years ago while I was really drunk and I made a song about them to make fun of the idea. Now I kind of feel like a dick.

>>17358279
Really depends on the model. All glocks look nearly identical in overall form, which leads to that weird perspective trick where you assume any Glock brand pistol should be a certain size.

>>17358157
put it in the butter you coward

>>17357561
i just leave my butter out on a plate on top of my microwave it never goes bad

wouldn't the water go bad?

>>17357561
yes goyim your butter will taste better submerged in stagnant water for days!

Thus is retarded, water sealing works but iff the food doesn't touch the water cause that ruins the whole point retard

>>17357838
In ye olde days before refrigeration the water would form a seal against airborne pathogens between the inside and outside of the bell. However this only works of the food doesn't touch the water, and in op's case it clearly does ruining the whole concept. This is retarded anyways since we have refrigeration

>>17357579
step 4 the butter grows mold.

>>17357561
I don't trust those fucking things

>>17359495
Hello :)

>>17357594
>there will be a air pocket between the butter and water
no, that would defeat the purpose
the top of the butter touches the water and creates an airtight seal, the butter isn't going to dissolve into the water so it's fine.

>>17357598
I love these things, the 3D image looks so crisp when I can finally adjust my eyes right.

>>17357561
Yeah.
The butter gets softer, but it is NOT perfect spreading consistency. The only way to achieve that is for the butter to be above room temperature.
I know this, because I tried one for a couple months, and went back to my old reliable standard butter dish. The most spreadable butter is softened by the woodstove for 20 mins.

>>17357598
I used to love looking at books with pictures like this. It's so neat.

>using water in your butter bell instead of melted butter
Sad.

>>17359489
Mold and bacteria cant grow on lipids

>>17357598
This took me way longer than it should have. Does Christ have birthgiving hips, or is that just the way HIS loincloth falls?

>>17357598
Started to think this was a troll picture but I finally got it, nice.

>>17359888
try this one

>have big piece of butter in fridge
>cut piece you use in a week
>put on a plate and put cup on top
very simple life

>>17357561
They work fine but unless your kitchen is particularly hot all the time I don't really see the point, a regular old covered butter dish works just fine unless you're keeping your house hot enough to fully melt the butter which would be insane.

I've been using a plain clear glass covered dish for years and never had an issue with butter going off before it got used, even with the same stick sitting out for a couple weeks or more at times. If my kitchen got more light than it does I'd consider switching to an opaque dish to limit its exposure but what I've got works fine so I don't bother.

>>17357570
it works.

>>17359947

What's that in the foreground?
Ah, i get it, it's more symbolic than realistic, several stations of Christ (the star, the wise men and the stable on the left, the cave with the stone that hath been rolled away on the right) with the iconic image in the center. It's not a gigantic Christ but a composition.

I know you guys are just pretending to see stuff in those images..

>>17360565
you have to blur your vision and move your eyes around a bit

>>17360565

There is actually a way for the uninitiated to the magic eye to kinda see what is there (with simpler shapes) or at least THAT there is sth there.
Add the pic as a layer, add it aagain as another layer, shift that upper one to the left so that the pattern overlaps (just like you would do with your eyes), then hide and show that layer quickly over and over. You can now see in the jump the contours of the hidden figure. It's still not the same as the real thing, you cannot really make out details or the 3D effect, and for his his little crucified background dancers you will have to shift the layer again so the pattern overlaps at THEIR position.
But it gives you a rough idea and also showns you that there is indeed something there.

>>17359782
they most certainly can if water is present. I was given a butter bell once. we used it several times changed the water regularly and kept it cleaned. it constantly grew mold on the butter.
I threw it out and just keep my butter in loosely lidded container no mold.

>>17359782
in addition to my previous reply mold can grow on jet fuel at the interface between water and the fuel. I used to be an aircraft mechanic and we had to treat the fuel tanks for mold. mold cannot directly live on jet fuel but it will live right on the edge between the two. oil is the same.

>>17359947
that one is very vivid

>>17357561
I just leave my butter on the countertop. Why would you ever need this?

>>17357561

Do you have a girlfriend?

Is she vegan?

>>17357561
Yeah no thanks ive got a fucking refrigerator

>>17359444
>In ye olde days before refrigeration the water would form a seal against airborne pathogens between the inside and outside of the bell.

i love how even though they didnt know about germs they figured out a water seal somehow just werks and would keep food fresh.

>>17361385

It was miasmas (bad air) they believed made food spoil and cause illness.
Considering the germs would come in contact with the food through the air in the end whether you know about them does not make a difference, every measure to keep bad air out also unknowingly keeps germs out, so that worked out nicely.

>>17360565
The pictures show Jesus on the cross, you just need to try and unfocus your eyes and look almost in front of the picture instead of directly at it if that makes sense

>>17357579
>I need to make my butter spreadable
>I guess I could try the memebell
>step 1: spread butter into bell
Who falls for this shit? Also, stop making this thread.

newfags don't recall the wars over butter bells

I am convinced that 90% of the posters in /ck/ butterbell threads are Big Butter shills. This shit does not work and is completely inferior to a $1 glass butter dish from the dollar store.

>>17362071

How long does one need to use up a pack of butter for that to be an issue anyway?
Butter without any problems keeps well for a month without the need for any special air seal containments. How little butter do you use if you don't manage to finish one pack in one goddamn month?

Does anyone remember butterbellanon?

>perfect spreading consistency
just leave that shit on the counter my nigga
I go through a stick of butter in 2 weeks for toast spreading and don't even cover it

>>17357561
If you're using freshly made butter, you don't have to use a mold to get it into shape. That's pretty much the only real benefit I can think of over a regular butter dish.

ah, delicious legionnaires disease

>>17362264
you're not gonna get allegiant air disease from butter

>>17362331
See the diagram here: >>17359495
>Coward, Lucas, and Bergersen were exposed to the effects of explosive decompression and died in the positions indicated by the diagram. Investigation by forensic pathologists determined that Hellevik, being exposed to the highest pressure gradient and in the process of moving to secure the inner door, was forced through the crescent-shaped opening measuring 60 centimetres (24 in) long created by the jammed interior trunk door. With the escaping air and pressure, it included bisection of his thoracoabdominal cavity, which resulted in fragmentation of his body, followed by expulsion of all of the internal organs of his chest and abdomen, except the trachea and a section of small intestine, and of the thoracic spine. These were projected some distance, one section being found 10 metres (30 ft) vertically above the exterior pressure door.

>>17359947
It's a schooner

>>17357579
jesus how fucking lazy are people? If I'm spreading butter on something it's already warm. slice a little slab of butter and spread it around the toast how is that so much harder than having butter at a pErFeCt SpReAdInG cOnSiStEnCy

>>17359888
yeah that one took me a really long time too
>>17359947
this one was quick

It’s the same premise as a diving bell people, Jesus.

It’s like I’m posting on an image board with my brothers kids or something.

Nerve wreckin sons of bitches

>>17362487
>It’s the same premise as a diving bell people, Jesus.
I've seen what those things can do. Why would anyone want something so potentially dangerous in there house?

>>17357587
oil and water repel each other, anon

>>17362534

Just make sure you lock the hatch to the butter first before detaching and you're good.

>>17362469
enjoy your cold toast with partially melted butter you dumb bitch

>let me just put some butter on my toas-

>>17362487
>It’s the same premise as a diving bell people
so the butter can breathe?

>>17357761
stuff the lamb into the bell

>>17357598
This one is very hard at full scale, but it really pops.

>>17360754
that was a lot of effort for a post anon, kudos

>>17362607

It's really good. Espeixally in how it incorporates the pattern into the 3D image. The two background figures have real heads and the Roman soldier with the spear has a real face and you can see his hairband.

Really cool. One of the best of those pics I have seen.

>>17357838
Man why did you post like a reditor kys

>>17357683
I found mold on my butter using a butter bell

>>17360754
Well today I found out I'm retarded. No wonder everyone else seems to identify those easier than I do. I see the reverse when I do these. Jesus goes into the page instead of out of it.

>>17363010
You're crossing your eyes rather than relaxing them and looking through the picture. The right focus is behind the picture. One way is to put the screen right up to your eyes and move your head back slowly until the picture aligns.

>>17362607
jesus christ this is one of the coolest thing ive ever experienced. its like looking into a portal into a different dimension or something.
so i see the one main jesus on a cross, with a guy kneeling holding a narrow rod upwards at him. then behind them there are two more jesus on crosses facing like 45 degrees away

once you lock into it, it just holds with no effort, and you can look around and stuff.

>>17363057
this one has a lot of detail

>>17363081

At first I thought they were ravens
But i think they are penguins at an ice hole?

I truly wonder if /ck/ is the most retarded board on all of 4chan. It's a 100-year-old technology of preserving butter, which we don't need to do anymore thanks to refrigerators, but in the present day it has the added benefit of keeping butter instantly spreadable
>A French butter dish is a container used to maintain the freshness and spreadable consistency of butter without refrigeration.
>This late 19th-century French-designed pottery crock has two parts: a base that holds water, and a cup to hold the packed butter which also serves as a lid.
>This method will keep butter for around a month provided it is kept at temperatures below 80 °F (27 °C) and the water is changed regularly.

Took me a moment, but I found it, then was able to export the file and upload it on vocaroo. It's a 40-something shitpost of a song I recorded about "butterbells'', kek. 2 years later, I showed my gf, and she still hates it.

>>17357838
A butter bell is only really needed if you're keeping unsalted butter at room temperature. It prevents the butter from oxidizing and going rancid while keeping it at a spreadable consistency. If you're using regular salted butter, you don't need to worry and can use a regular butter dish since the salt will prevent oxidation.
