Once the lld is inverted and holding the butter, is the butter always exposed without a cover?

You pack the butter in the top and invert it into the bottom which is filled with water, there is nothing exposed.

The butter is never exposed except when out of the crock. This would only be done when there is a need to use the butter.

Pack the butter in top, partially fill bottom 'cup' with water. When you invert the top into the bottom you'll hear a little 'plop'; you'll know the water has sealed the butter (ie, the water should come in contact with the inverted lid). The water keeps the butter cool; I keep mine out on the counter all the time and I'm in Florida.

it snaps down, but however it does not lock as to keeping it from opening if flipped over. I tried this out after you asked this question and found if I turn it over and gave it a little shake it did not lock to point of lif coming off. It does however keep your butter from tasting like refrigerator and the lid does stay in place and will not just slide off, But keep in mind it does not lock closed. I hope this answers your question. I would recommend this product based on it keeps the butter fresh and if dish is dropped no breakage or glass to worry about.

No, but there is enough space to add a new stick of butter (end to end) next to one that is more than half-gone. The width is fit to a single stick of butter.

Mine does when I first fill it but after the first swipe of the butter it doesn't get wet. I love my two that I used daily!

I bought mine a few months ago and I always keep it in the cover and I never had an issue. I hope that was helpful.

It is a good idea to get a more evenly cooked egg, the cover traps the heat and steam to cook the top half while the bottom is also being cooked. It could be done without a lid but you will not get as good of results and will not be as evenly cooked and as quickly as if done with the lid in place.

No, the butter isn't wet when removing. It is nice, soft, and spreadable. You don't even notice any water, at least I don't. I have found that if you don't fill the cup completely to the top with butter, it works well.

Yes, the butter is in contact with the water, but essentially on the surface of the butter where it would be exposed to the air. Since the oil in the butter repels water, and simply rests upon it, I have never felt the need to "dry" it before using it. I hope that is helpful.

There is a rim on the base to hold the top in place. I generally use the butter dish upside down, placing two butter sticks in the deep side of the dish. I like the butter dish and recommend it.

Diana: The cover is very secure..either way that you place it. This is one of the best "pots" that I have - especially when microwaving food. The food gets very hot; however, the handle stays cool/warm. The cover protects the food from boiling or exploding over. I have three of these and use them all of the time.

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.

nah, don't believe so. Mine doesn't. Just enough water to hit the edge of the dish - and the butter isn't sticking out of that.

No, it does not. However, it is still the best butter dish I've ever owned.

Butter does not fall even though it is upside down. As for kids using it that is iffy, as it is ceramic.

Not at all, the lid is much higher (I don't stick a piece of butter that tall). The only complaint would be that you may think it's too small but I'm happy with it.

There are no holes. If the butter is packed tightly when first added, I don't have problems. I've had the butter fall out of the lid into the water only once.

just enough to seal the bottom. this product is a good idea but if used as instructed the butter falls to the bottom. I now just use it upside down.
