The picture shows a one third inch wide and deep semicircular cutout on the crock bottom, not the lid. What is its purpose?

It is a well for water to create a seal when making fermented items. It really is a very good thing to have if you are going to ferment. Note: stone weights are not included with this item but have to be purchased extra . I hope this helps

I'm guessing it has something to do with how the pot is actually formed. On a wheel or frame or whatever. I wouldn't look too deeply for significance...

There are two lids. I think there are 3 sizes available, thus the photo of three lids. This lid fits the 3-gallon crock that I have.

It looks to be a perforated area in the lid that could be punched out to fit a heater. Hope that helps.

The lid is used for baking to keep the steam in to allow the bread to rise before the crust develops. It slides apart from the pan so you don't have to use it if you don't want to.

It's flat with a slight curvature around the edges... It works fine if you are going to home brew, but a little small if you are trying to get 5 gallons to boil. Also my lid did not fit very well.

Yes. It acts as a vent. The crockpot has such a snug seal there would be too much steam building up if you didn't have that little vent!

I've never paid any attention to this so I got the pan out to look at it. It doesn't have straight sides and looks like it is narrower at the bottom than the top.

it's an option to be used when you are carrying the crockpot to another location, especially when in your car so that if it turns over, the contents will not spill and make a great big mess......

Yes! That's one of the nice design features. I should mention that I didn't actually get the stainless steel one, it looks a little different, but I'm assuming the lid design is the same.

I bought the Ohio Stoneware 11624 Crock Cover Pack of 2 from Amazon. It had two lids, both fit the 3 gallon crock. If Amazon doesn't have it, you can find it in Gardener's Supply Company.

Thinking on it. I guess it could be useful as a stand for the dripper when you move it away to pour your coffee. In that case, the gasket bit was useful only to stabilize the lid when stored with the base.

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. Love this dish. Butter never goes bad and stays nice and soft. There is a rim that "more or less" holds it in place.

The lid is for covering muffins, cupcakes, or whatever, to keep food fresher or for transporting to a potluck, for example. It is not for use in the microwave or oven.

I'm not sure; the crock does, but I didn't touch the outer shell. I keep a glass counter saver under the crock pot, so that is not a concern of mine.

If we are talking about the Hamilton Beach Crock Pot, image is not available, You could not GIVE me another HB product. Piece of crap worked one time and they refused to stand behind it. Hope this helps

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.
