Is there glazing on the bottom where the butter sits? I've read that no glazing on the bottom helps keep it cool.

inside where the butter is, is glazed , the bottom is not... has to to with evaporation to keep butter cool and soft.I love this dish........

Yes, there is glazing. The quality of workmanship is very good. I can't respond to advantage of no glazing.

There is no glazing on the bottom of the lower dish that holds the cool water, but there is glazing on the bottom off the actual butter dish that holds the butter and sits in the cool water. Not a problem. Keeps the butter nice.My butter stays fresh in this butter boat. In the hottest days of summer it gets slightly softer, but always good. I love this butter dish.

There appears to be glazing on the inside of the dish where the butter touches but NOT on the out/under side of the dish which touches the water.

Yes, there is a small amount of white substance at the bottom which I shake before using. It's not a lot. Just enough to cloud the liquid a tiny bit.

The sides and bottom do not get hot. Only the silver on the top warms with the toast or whatever. I hope this helps.

No you only place a small amount of water in the base and the butter is sealed but held above the water. It really works quite well. It keeps the butter fresh and it is always ready to spread. rkeithr

No, it is not recessed. That said, unless you live in an extremely warm climate, you don't need the water seal to keep the butter fresh. Ours lasts a week or more on the counter just fine, and we are in New England.

No. If you put the butter in so it does not protrude over the top rim it will stay dry.

the bottom is grooved, however i use the pan on a glasstop range without any problem.

Sorry, but I've never tried adding butter, etc. Actually, I don't remember reading that on the wrapping. It would have raised a red flag for me since some times I will lightly grease non-stick pans.

Yes. Butter gets a few moisture drops on it, but most is on the receptacle. I am very happy with my keeper. It works very well.

Nope. I never had a problem with it. I generally use it on a granite countertop. The heat is on the top of the unit, not on the bottom.

There is a rim that "more or less" holds it in place. I find it easier when moving it to just take the lid off and carry the butter exposed in the dish. It would be nice if they would put some kind of handle on the lid but in lieu of that, when carrying the entire dish, I always wrap my hand around the entire top of the dish all the way to the bottom and grip it that way. Otherwise, as mentioned before, I take the lid off. Once you put the lid on and have it in place, however, the rim WILL keep the lid in place unless you jostle it hard. Hope this helps.

Mine does that too. It hasn't caused any problems though; no splattering or loss of heat. I was considering finding a way to put a gasket on, but it truly does work fine being a bit wobbly.

No, just the bottom and sides. The top needs to be free for heat dissipation.

I didn't notice anything other a "frostiness" on the outside of the glass. Hope this helps.

You put the butter in so it does not protrude over the top rim and it will stay dry. If you heap it in so it comes over the top then the top part will be wet.

Make sure you are using salted butter. It might be too the quality of the butter keeper. I have used one for years and love it.

Yes, though there's a little black tab on the back that doesn't get hot, and it seems the digital side on the bottom corner gets less hot. I think it's part of the lower price, less insulation maybe.
