What maintenance does the oak lid require?

Troubleshooting
Butter seems to be drying out or is exposed to air
Ensure the oak lid is properly seated and making good contact with the ceramic base. Check for any debris preventing a snug fit.
White film or spots on the ceramic
This can be mineral deposits from water. Soak the ceramic base in a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water for a short period, then wash and rinse thoroughly.
Oak lid appears dry or dull
Apply a thin coat of food-safe mineral oil or beeswax polish to the oak lid with a soft cloth and allow it to absorb before wiping away any excess.
