Abstract
A butter storing and conditioning device which maintains butter at a desired temperature to keep the butter cool enough not to melt and warm enough to easily spread. The device includes a housing which covers the butter while placed upon a butter dish resting on a counter or table top. Heating and cooling means are provided for heating or cooling the air to maintain the butter at the desired temperature. In one embodiment, an air duct is formed by the housing and a fan for circulating air through the housing and past the butter.
