Does the lid snap on snuggly while the liquid boils? or is it a loose fit that you must hold down when pouring?

I have not used it in some time - but if I remember correctly the lid fits snug on the pot. Hope this helps.

Yes, It is quite snug, and requires that you pull firmly to remove the lid.

Do not secure the lid while boiling. The water will boil over. Snap it down for draining or pour into a colander to drain. You can gently place on while water is heating. I leave the lid on partially while boiling if it isn't a rapid boil.

No, the lid is not secure at all! It is not snug. I've dropped it many times. Very annoying.

Definitely clicks when you put on the lid. Then the lid is somewhat loose while on. It would not come off if you shook it, it requires a little force to remove the lid. The lid is not airtight.

There is no liquid tight feature on this unit, but the contents are essentially double contained. If you keep the pot from tipping over spilling is not a big concern. I've used it to transport soups, so far no problem.

No the lid doesn't screw on. You just push it down into place. You need to make sure it is on securely by pushing down hard til you hear a snap or pop to insure you don't lose your drink. I found that out yesterday the hard way. Luckily it was only water. If you snap the lid down it is very secure.

It doesn't have any plastic casket to make it fit tight, instead it has an indent on one side of pot and 2 tabs on lid that fit in the indent and a small turn of the lid. I have my kettle for a while now, and I have no problem with the lid. It's like the old fashioned Tea Pot lids.

I have two Frieling presses. Both lids fit well, but will shift a tiny bit when near the end of the pour. I just put a thumb on the lid to keep it from slipping forward once the angle gets too steep. The strainer assembly fits snugly -- takes some force to push it down or pull it out. The lids fit the carafe shape without being snug -- there's no gasket, and it doesn't take any force to set it on or remove it. - tkh

The lid doesn't feel as if it is tight, but it is as it cooks really good. My insert doesn't move around a lot, si m not sure what is going on with yours. Hopefully someone else can answer this. I am sorry I can not be any more helpful. I am happy with mine and I would recommend it.

The lid fits 'snuggly'; I always put my thumb over the back......just in case, when I will be emptying pitcher. I've never had a problem!! Love the Brita Grand!!

Yes it is loose around the edges but I haven't tried the boiling water fix...never heard of it

nope, no problems. Super control of the water stream when pouring, a lot safer and neater than my old tea kettle. No lids popping off for me.

My lid does ft. It isn't a tight snug fit but fits on the pot a little bit loose. Just simply sets on the pot. However, although it is t a snug fit I do not have gaps not can I see light between the lid and the pot all the way around but I can move the lid a little while sitting on it. This is one of several west bend cookers I have purchased, first with the digital display, and I absolutely love them. Hope this helps.

I bought it because I had a pot that wasn't perfectly round. The edge is like a rubber and clings to the rim. I really like that you can control the amount of steam with the top knob. I have had no issues with spill overs, in fact it works better than a conventional lid.

The key is how angled the kettle is when you're pouring. If the kettle is rather full, so that you don't have to angle it much to pour water out, then you don't have to hold the lid. When you angle the kettle more sharply, like maybe 70 degrees or more (this is approximate guess), then you have to put a finger on the lid or it will fall off. Most of the time, I don't have to angle the kettle that much to pour from it, so that I don't have to put my finger on the lid.

The lid does not rattle. It has a rubber gromet around it that keeps it snug.

The lid stays on just fine. In fact, if my husband is already asleep and i want to make a late night cup of tea, i fill the pot with water earlier in the evening and have it ready, becuase putting the lid on and clicking it in makes a noise. it fits tight and does not leak. i am very happy with mine. the handle is stationary, so you have to finagle the lid a bit to get it in and clicked tight. but i have arthritis and i can do it so it's no big deal. dee jaquet
