Are there holes inside the butter lid that help the water to stay in contact with the butter and keep it from being sucked out when you open it?

There are no holes inside the lid. Not necessary. The seal the water gives keeps the butter fresh. I just make sure i change the water every 3 days or so. I have not had butter go bad; even once...and it's only me that uses 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.

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.

No, they don't. But the inner lid keeps everything where it should be and sealed. As long as you aren't tossing it around it should be fine. I haven't noticed any concerns.

Yes. There a tiny flap that opens when you pour the liquid out and seals when you hold it upright.

I don't think the water actually is supposed to contact the butter. The water's function is to create an air-tight seal so that air cannot flow over, under, or around the butter. It is actually moving air, or exchange of air, that causes food to go stale, or, in this case, to warm via convection. The seal also keeps out bugs, pet tongues, and dust.

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

Yes, there are holes. The seat is a sling that allows the child to sit comfortably with the water their legs and mid-stomach in the water. I was concerned that it would not be deep enough and my daughter and that she might flip over (she's pretty active) and have not had a single issue with that. It's so secure that my son and I can gently push her back and forth between us when we're standing about 6 feet apart (which she loves).

The holes are very fine and nothing seems to get out so far. I love it. Hope this helps. Also it's nice to put the plastic cover on top of the cup to keep it hot while steeping:)

There is no hole. Steam comes out the edges of the lid.Parenthetically, having a steam vent is not the cause of sputtering. That would be overfilling and/or a dirty pot and/or unwashed rice.

I have not noticed any loss of flavor with the butter keeper. I try to have just enough water in mine so the edge of the butter cup touches the water to form a seal. I can't imagine that water touching the butter would harm it....unless the room temperature is too warm. We do not have central air and during very hot summer weather I don't use the butter keeper because my butter gets moldy if it isn't used quickly enough.

Yes, the glass lid has a small vent hole to help keep lid from steaming up.

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

No holes in the outer plastic bowel. There are holes on the lid allowing you to pour the water out while the top/lid is still attached.

Yes it does but it falls out easily. My solution to that was that I took some duck tape and taped across each hole on the underside of each lid so now it stays in.

The hole is there to let some steam escape. It is a precaution to keep you from getting a steam burn when you take the lid off.

There are no holes in the pump housing except the intake strainer. The pump is sealed and waterproof as it it mean't to be used completely submerged.

No holes in bottom there are three screws that attach base to cylinder. I keep small amount of 409 in mine and there's never been a leak -- I have three. But, check the seam that runs along the side. I returned one because in two small areas it appeared the adhesive wasn't holding.
