BACK TO BASICS

This year’s most loved kitchen innovation is a gadget the French have kept in their kitchens for nearly half a century. Making its way across the Pacific and Atlantic, cloches de beurre (butter keepers) are set to become a New Zealand household favourite. A surprisingly traditional method of keeping butter, butter keepers have stood the test of time by delivering soft, creamy and spreadable butter every time. Simply fill the lid with your butter of choice, then add fresh cool water every few days.
