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.

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.

It is upside down & does not fall out. Soften a stick of butter to room temp. Then spread into butter bell. Easy for children to use also.

I place my keeper in the refrigerator when I know my house is going to be to warm, and take it out first thing, otherwise the butter does warm and slips into the water which is no big deal. I live in the lower south so we have humidity issues!

Be sure that the butter holder part is dry. We had that happen once and my husband thought it might be because the room was hot.

I'm not sure why your having this problem, but I can tell you how I use mine and maybe that will help.. I let the butter soften a little and smoosh it down good into the cup with a spoon or spatula. I making sure there are no air pockets.. I keep my butter keeper in a spot away from toaster, oven, coffee pot, etc so it wont get too warm. Also before each refill I wash it good so the new butter I put in has a non greasy surface to stick too... I love mine but wish it was a little bigger... lol Hope this helps...

No there is no cover. The inside top has a rim for the fondue forks to rest on.

No, it doesn't. I just bought this to throw in with some baked goods I made for someone. I do have another type that has a cover. If you really don't use it alot, go by price. You can just keep a piece of Saran wrap over it with a rubber band. Must admit, I like it with a cover.

The water doesn't touch the butter. It is just a way to keep the butter cooler so it doesn't melt.

There is a flip cover that can be locked in the open position or closed position or left unlocked. If locked in the open you don't have to mess with the flip cover at all.

Mine did not come with a cover. I did buy one separate and wouldn't go with out it. Keep in mind, it's an open griddle and it is outside so I DEFINATELY keep it covered when not in use

My wife had same problem when she loaded each side and then presssing the two sides together. She solved it by not loading the two halves and then pressing it together. It came out perfectly when she assembled the two halves and then pressed the butter in from the slot on the bottom!

It is very important that you make sure you leave no air holes when you put the butter in the butter keeper. Smooch it in real good. It is what I do and I have never had a problem.

No, it does not. I did not want that either. Thought it would be dangerous reaching into it. I love this. It is my second micro/convection oven and will always own one. I rarely use my full size oven anymore as I live alone. I can micro, convection cook or do a blend. Buy it!

No cover, the beans do not spill when you turn it slowly...shouldn't go fast anyway or you'll burn the beans a little...nice and slow and you'll have no problems...I've had mine for quite a few months and use it 4-5 times a day..Love it, excuse me, Slurp-slurp

it is upside down but it sticks to the dish - it is easy to use since the butter is room temperature and easy to spread.

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.
