After you use some of the butter (meaning it might be 1/2 full) do you have to fill it back up?
266133
No, you can keep using it until empty. I usually wait til mine is empty to refill it since 1 stick of butter fits in there just right.
266134
I usually use the butter completely before refilling it and wash the container each time.
266135
No, you can use it all up, then refill it with a new stick of butter. Just change the water every two days.
266136
No, I wait until it is empty and refill after washing and drying. Just keep the water changed about every fourth day. Also I let the butter come to room temp before putting in Norpro Butter Keeper. Hope that helps.
266137
No you don't but you should change the water every 2 to 3 days. I use the butter and then wash the whole keeper and refill with butter and water in the bottom section about 1 inch deep.

No. You have to pop the popcorn dry and put the butter on the popped popcorn.

I put about 1/3 cup. I also read thru the responses and add a few shakes of salt. When you put the stick of butter in, make sure it soft and pack it in.

With the assumption that you are asking how easy it is to remove the final product from the Magical Butter 2 unit..... Butter would be the only thing that you would want to remove before it cooled enough became solid again. Oils and Tinctures would obviously pour out of the unit at room temperature. Butter on the other hand would begin to solidify as it cooled. You could either use a spatula to remove the butter from the unit if it has cooled to a semi-solid state, or you could simply begin the timed butter making process again in the machine for a brief period, until the unit heated the butter to a liquid state again (approximately 5 minutes of run time). You could then just pour the liquid butter from the unit. ~Outlaw~

My wife had same problem when she loaded each side and then presssing the two sides together. She solved it by not loading the two halves and then pressing it together. It came out perfectly when she assembled the two halves and then pressed the butter in from the slot on the bottom!

It is what keeps the butter fresh. Also during the hot months you need need to for sure replace the water every couple of days or the butter will mold. I learned that from experience. :-/

Hi Heidi, I am not sure I remember. I softened two sticks of butter and had left-over. Remember to oil the mold prior to use. It swells if you don't and is hard to separate.

I don't know if what I tell you is right, but all I know is that I do not use water in the butter crock. The first time I did use water, it, as strange as it sounds, kind of absorbed into the butter and made the butter somewhat swollen. The butter did not stay in the cup. I stopped using the water and it has been fine ever since. I love the crock!

You only add about 2 TBL so that it doesn't touch the butter. I was told, by a friend who collects antiques, that the indentation in the lid is to measure the correct amount of water. If water does touch it, you an pat it dry with a paper towel. Enjoy, Betty

Pack the butter in top, partially fill bottom 'cup' with water. When you invert the top into the bottom you'll hear a little 'plop'; you'll know the water has sealed the butter (ie, the water should come in contact with the inverted lid). The water keeps the butter cool; I keep mine out on the counter all the time and I'm in Florida.

Mine does when I first fill it but after the first swipe of the butter it doesn't get wet. I love my two that I used daily!

Yes, the butter is in contact with the water, but essentially on the surface of the butter where it would be exposed to the air. Since the oil in the butter repels water, and simply rests upon it, I have never felt the need to "dry" it before using it. I hope that is helpful.

It might be the recipe you are using, meaning if there is too much butter in it and it hasn't been chilled the butter goes right to the top of the mix and changes the consistency very quickly.

I just grind mine in their raw natural state & keep them in the frig; I don't make too much butter at a time unless I have an immediate use for a larger amount that I'm using right away. They are also great roasted, but we prefer them au' naturel!

You need to Take the grate out and dump some on. If food already on, then plan ahead so you don't. For what it's worth, I've never run out even when it's smoker.

Yes. There's a small plastic cup that sits in the very top of the popper. As the popper works, the cup gets hot and any pad of butter placed in the cup would melt to liquid. The idea is that you would then pour out the melted butter into the bowl of freshly popped popcorn. You could certainly add seasoning of any kind and mix before pouring. The cup is shallow and will not hold a quarter stick of butter, but maybe an eighth. I certainly would not want more than that for single round of popping.
