Is the pan completely sealed, or are there drain holes on the bottom?

The INSIDE of this pan is smooth on the bottom ( there also is a nonstick-coated version) but the underside on the OUTER surface has little pinholes. All of the Airbake products are that way - they have a thick bottom with little holes in it. That allows the air to circulate evenly and so the things you bake in them turn out really nice. The drawback to this is that water can also get into those holes and it can ruin the pan. I deal with that issue by always handwashing it and I never dunk it in water, just soap and rinse the inside and wipe off the outside. If you line it with parchment paper then it's really easy to clean up and never needs a scrubbing anyway. Because of the even temps, foods don't tend to bake onto the pan anyhow. I've put finished lasagnes and cakes in the fridge and freezer in this pan and never had a problem. So yes, it has holes in the bottom but they are not drain holes, they are air holes, designed to allow the hot air in the oven to circulate. You don't want to get those filled with water if you can help it because they don't drain. These pans are a little higher maintenance so I don't use mine for everything but for special things that I want to turn out really nice, especially cakes and pastry, these pans are awesome.

The dishpan has a slightly raised trim around the bottom sides and little bumps at the corners allowing the built in drain to work properly/ It is really well designed and sturdy, Hope this is helpful.

There is no hole in the bottom. However, there is a built-in grate to help with water run off.

It has holes at the end to drain grease out as can be seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0HWZd2ODMQ

It is not a tight seal. It slides around similar to any other pan I have in the house. Nice looking pan. Bought it for my wife and she has not used it yet.

Not that I can figure out. I just use a fork or knife to prod it out. It's seems a nuisance but Is rather know that the bottom bowl is properly sealed off.

The bottom is sealed. The bubble is there just to enhance the look. This is a very sturdy set of glassware not the least bit fragile.

The pan is flat on bottom. It's a great, solid, pan but beware of the exploding lid. I would purchase a lid elsewhere and dispose of the one they provide personally.

No there isnt. Its an open bottom and what we did was put plastic down added drain holes then the sand. Has worked wonderful for a year now!!

No drain hole. That was the only thing that was inconvenient about it. At the end of the day we just bailed it out like a leaky boat and then when it was empty enough a couple of us picked it up and took it over to the lawn to dump it. Otherwise it is really great. :)

No holes at all in this pan. I had a pan before with small holes and it often leaked cheese or pepperoni grease through the holes into the bottom of the oven. In addition, if I cut pizza on the old pan, crumbs would get everywhere with the holes. I bought this new pan and used it once - it was great. I tossed the old pan with the small holes in the trash. Overall, we are very happy with this Oneida "commercial pan"

I am guessing you are asking about "holes" in the bottom of the pots?? If so, yes

It is sealed. I don't recall if it has a plastic safety seal under the lid or not but you do have to break a seal on the outside which then separates the lid from the bucket itself.

Yes, there is a "rubber" gasket that seals the lid to the pan during operation.

The bottom is molded, however, it heats evenly and is a wonderful aebleskiver pan. I lived in Denmark and I know my aebleskiver!!

There is a drain hole in the bottom soap dish part. We just installed it so I don't have a lot of experience with it yet. It does seem like a nice product.

There should be ventilation holes in the lid, but I've certainly never noticed any pinhole in mine. If it doesn't leak when filled with water, it may not be an issue. However, I would consider exchanging it.
