Moldy butter in my Le Creuset Butter Crock

Is a crock related to the pot in pot cooler?

The attached top to bowl seems to be to defeat the purpose. First it blocks the water to evaporate, hence to cool butter. Second, the top attached to bowl would allow transfer surrounding air heat to butter. It would work better in areas with low humidity, to allow better evaporation to happen. Just my two cents.

No Metric/Volume Recipes?

Why does Chow.com not have any Metric unit or 'volume' recipes? If you do a search of 'Metric' on the site you get 439 hits. I do believe there is interest on the matter. Besides, the fact, that we have LNDMT Politicians running our country. I think chow.com should do a little programming to fix the issue. Sites like www.allrecipes.com can do the switch plus added serving size to their recipes. Why can't chow.com?
