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, it's a small plastic jar with a plastic cap and plastic cup that the butter collects in. We love it! This is the only kind of butter we'll eat!

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

The part you put the butter is deep and the lid fits over it. However, there is no water seal at all.

It does not.While cooking you can open either one side or the other without removing the lid but it doesn't lock in place. Good idea though!

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.

No, the small amount of water that is needed does not contact the butter but you can't use a standard cube of butter without "smooching" it.

You take your butter, hopefully real salted or un salted butter, and press it into the dome part of the keeper. Then you put some water, not a lot, just enough to form a seal and put it in the cylinder of the keeper, then turn the dome back into the cylindrical part. It's the best. Sometimes I have not pressed enough and when I open the keeper the butter is floating in the jar. I just scoop it up, press it tighter and keep on going. Naturally, if you live in an area that is normally very warm, I'm not sure how it will react. I live in Maryland. Hope it works for you. We love ours.

Yes, butter is optional. Make sure you measure the inside of your microwave though...mine is tight I have to remove the lazy susan to use this.

I have always kept my butter on a kitchen counter so it will be soft but not in sunlight. It always tastes great, but I don't let it melt whereas the taste would change. So depending on what you mean by "light", I keep it out but not in sunlight

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, 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.

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.

I have never dropped this butter dish nor ever had it be slippery. I used it every day and would buy another if I should happen to break this one.

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.

The display is lite when closed. The reagular displays oin the front shows just like before when the cover is opened . But beware its not a good case. the folding and closing will break down the crease for hendges.
