Measures 3.5" / 9cm in diameter and stands 4" / 10cm tall.A butter lover's dream! Once you start using this Butter Keeper, you won't settle for hard butter again!Holding up to 1 stick of butter, the water in the base seals out air to keep the butter soft, sweet and spreadable for up to 30 days - without refrigeration!Simply pour approximately 1/2" / 1.25cm of water in the basin, fill the top of the butter keeper with butter, turn it upside down so the water is covering the top of the butter, and PRESTO! Soft, sweet, spreadable butter that stays fresh. (Water should be changed every 2-3 days).Made of attractive glazed stoneware. Attractive enough for your table or counter top!
Oh man. Brace yourselves, I am a total Amazon junkie. (Note: These may not all be BIFL, but I'm responding to the OP in specific.)
And, saving the best for last:

If you put it in a butter keeper, it's good up to a month.
This is why I use a butter crock.

I usually keep only unsalted in the house for cooking because I don't eat buttered bread/toast/biscuits very often, but one the occasions that I do buy salted butter (holidays, dinner parties, guests in the home) I really enjoy my buttered toast. And baked potatoes--my goodness those are tasty.
BTW, if you're a butter fan, I highly recommend investing in one of these
Grab yoself a butter bell! It keep butter fresh and room temperature!

What's even better than a butter dish is a butter bell http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0000VLURQ?pc_redir=1408591398&robot_redir=1
I recommend everyone buy a butter dish, one that uses water to preserve it. You can keep it out instead of the fridge, and your butter is always soft. Then buy some really good butter and some good bread. You won't want anything else for breakfast. Something like this.
I agree. I thought of this version I've seen on amazon as soon as I saw the picture. Apparently real butter will keep fine at room temperature as long as you keep air out of/away from it.
Yes to all of the above. If you nuke it, use DEFROST and check it every 3 seconds. I use something similar to this and just change the water every 2 days. It's what they did back in the Pilgrim days (snort I don't know, but I know they did it in the 30's-50's) Edit: duh! http://www.amazon.com/Norpro-284-Stoneware-Butter-Keeper/dp/B0000VLURQ/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Keep soft butter on the table for a month.
Like I said in another comment, I've made butter with a ~cup of buttermilk mixed with a ~quart of cream, left overnight... fantastic results! Here's the original recipe I followed and it uses your same method with the stand mixer. (I've made my mixer earn her keep by kneading pasta and bread doughs from time to time)
An as to what makes it great? not just the cows, but what the cows are fed, grass is an important element for good tasting milk and butter (gives them that yellow hue).
And btw, if you salt at the beginning, you can knead the butter in water to rinse the salt away. Salt will help keep the butter it's freshest. Also, if you want to do like the french, get yourself a butter dish that immerses the butter in water, avoiding contact with air.
We have this one: http://www.amazon.com/Norpro-284-Stoneware-Butter-Keeper/dp/B0000VLURQ
I love Amazon Prime. Whenever I need something for the kitchen, it's usually there.
Hmm...maybe use a Butter Bell? They keep your butter fresh at room temperature via airlock, and you could probably use the bell part as a mold.
Get one of these. Been using it for years.
You're looking for a french butter keeper!

Under $10 link for the lazy
Make great housewarming gifts cause you're pretty sure they don't already have one.
Or, buy a butter keeper!
Sure! There are tons of videos on YouTube if you need a visual, but basicallly use either a quart or pint of heavy cream (a quart will give you roughly a pound of butter). I have used WalMart's Great Value heavy cream, and it tastes pretty darn good, so don't feel you have to buy an expensive cream to make great homemade butter.
Next, place contents of cream into stand mixer bowl. I start on 2 for about 1 minute and then kick it up to 10 (you may need a splash guard in place to prevent splashing). Let your mixer run for about 2-3 minutes or so. It will go from liquid, to whipped cream, to curdled and separated looking. That's when it's essentially butter!
Now, turn off mixer, and strain out the "buttermilk" (the liquid that's separated from the butter solids). You'll probably need to mash on the butter in the strainer to be sure all the liquid is separated. Save that buttermilk for baking. Some tutorials I have looked at feel it's necessary to really get all that buttermilk out to prevent the butter from going rancid (I go through the butter so fast, it's never been a problem), so give further directions to place the butter back in the mixer and add some water and mix again and strain (and repeat several times), until the water is clear.
Using your hands or a wooden spoon or placing your butter in a butter bell, shape your butter how you like it and store in the fridge or however you store your regular store-bought butter.
The butter can also be placed back in your stand mixer and mixed with salt to taste, herbs, garlic, etc. There are tons of recipes, too, that can be found on how to season your butter.
I'll apologize in advance if my directions aren't that great. But, really it's a pretty simple process. If you have any questions, just let me know!
Well, I've praised French Butter Keepers here before, but I am always willing to tell people about HOLY SHIT THE BUTTER IS ALWAYS SOFT IT'S FUCKING WITCHCRAFT.
On the more... practical side of things, everyone should have one of this style plunger Seriously. Especially if you have a very wussy low-flow toilet like my apartment does.
And a good pair of all-purpose scissors. It's important to have your junk scissors be distinct from your paper scissors and your fabric scissors so you don't gunk up the latter two.
Use a butter bell, they're awesome
Yes, This. If you're concerned about it going bad / getting invaded, can also use a "butter keeper" that seals it with water. For Example (not an endorsement, just the 1st result from Google)
Get a butter bell and you will be all set. https://www.amazon.com/Norpro-Glazed-Stoneware-Butter-Keeper/dp/B0000VLURQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1480896805&sr=1-1&keywords=butter+bell
No, just one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Norpro-284-Stoneware-Butter-Keeper/dp/B0000VLURQ
Easy way to 'steam' things. Use those plastic shopping bags you bring home your groceries in. No need to waste money on the name brand 'steamer bags'.
Addintionaly food like carrots, potatos, sweet potatos, corn on the cob, and other fresh veg dont need refrigeration and all microwave well. The smaller the food the shorter the cook time. I do big potatoes for 6-8 minutes, small carrots for 4-6.
Also keep in mind real butter (not the spreads or country crock) doesnt need refrigeration just stitck it in a butter bell so you can add butter to any dish you microwave.
Huh, never had that issue with our $7.50 butter bell.
My gut says your butter fell out because it wasn't pressed into the butter bell full/completely and/or the butter bell was stored in direct sunlight (or a warm place).
You need this. http://www.amazon.com/Norpro-284-Stoneware-Butter-Keeper/dp/B0000VLURQ/ref=pd_sxp_f_pt
Or get a butter bell?
That's what I do right now. I bought this butter keeper container from amazon and keep butter on the counter in it. I probably don't need it since I go through the butter so fast I could just leave it in a glass bowl on the counter top.
Edit: Link to butter keeper.
It's not often I get to change a strangers life...
