For my lazy tastes, the butter bell adds fussy labor to a task that needs none. Unless your house is up over 90°F, a plain butter dish with a cover will do the job just as well. Butter takes a long time to spoil, and that spoilage is rancidity which won't harm you, in any event. Couple weeks won't hurt it. I leave butter out on my counter in a June Cleaver-looking stainless steel covered butter dish that I bought at a yard sale. The butter "ripens" and the flavor becomes more complex and interesting.
