Please Lord, tell me I’m not the only one on butter bell Tiktok. And while we’re at it, tell me I’m not the only one who had no idea what a butter bell was?! As a lover of all things dairy, butter has a special place in my heart—but apparently, I have not been storing mine properly. It’s possible that every granny in my life has been holding out on me, because my first time seeing a butter bell was on my For You Page.
Apparently, I’m not the only one. When a few users started showing off their butter bells on TikTok, views skyrocketed (This video by @bellabooslunchesofficial has 4.9 million views) and commenters shared both praise and criticism for the humble butter bell. Many, like myself, were both impressed and mystified that they’d never seen one before. Others were highly skeptical, claiming butter belongs in the refrigerator and not left out all damn day.

At first, I felt the same—but then I learned how the butter bell works. First, you add cold water to the jar’s base. Next, you fill the bell (a.k.a. the lid) with butter, making sure to really pack it in so there are no air bubbles. When the lid is placed back on top of the jar, an air-tight seal forms, ensuring the butter stays fresh. If you’re a visual learner, @officialphilcollins has a great tutorial (and no, it’s not the real Phil Collins, sorry to disappoint).
And not just fresh, but perfectly spreadable! No more waiting for your refrigerated butter to soften before enjoying your toast. Truly, the perfect spreadability is what makes butter straight from the bell so spectacular. You win again, TikTok.
Below, check out a few of the butter bells I’m currently debating buying. Anyone want to come over for some TikTok and toast?
