I'm sorry that happened! And I'm sorry that I can't help you with this issue... that is one for the manufacturer to help you with! Call them and and tell them what happened. It sounds like a major defect to me!!! Who knows, they may send you a new one at no charge! If they want the old one back, tell them that you want them to pay for the shipping costs or it won't be worth the hassle! I wish you the best!

I'll see if I have another one here. If not, I'll check if Danielle has one and you can return it (as it's the end of the year, it may not be available) 'Will advise. 'Sorry for the problem. Anne

It sounds like your boxes may not have been cut right on the die because my boxes opened and folded together without any challenges or special instructions. They were all actually very good and very solid boxes so you might want to see about getting them replaced.

This happened to me also. I believe that the metal piece that supports the stem is not quite straight but I'm not sure about that. I did notice, before that happened, that I had difficulty getting the pieces to separate...could be the reason. I have not had any more trouble with breakage but the tightness is still there. I wouldn't be surprised if it happened again. I have ordered a new processor, same model, but wanted the same size so that I could still use all my various blades & bowls. Time will tell if that fixes the problem.

Contact the company, Pyrex, to get a replacement? I wouldn't know exactly. Perhaps you will have to buy another same size container.

I used a small flat screw driver and patiently pried it open trying various sides. It did not hurt the casing. But I agree that it is a little difficult and should have an indent to allow for a tool. The screw is hardly needed.

Hmmm. I have had to use a screw driver as well, but with success. So, my only advice is to try again with the screw driver because the lid is very tight. Good luck.

I used a bottle opener I still have the one that has a triangle edge. Its an oldie but it did the trick.

Yes it is, although the dice shaker is not the best, the dice get stuck in it. It should be wider, like I remember.

That happened to me too once. Think it's jut really compact. Mine ended up being fine once opened!

I have the Shun, and I would not try to dice on it. The long cuts are exquisite, but the food spike/carriage combo would complicate the dicing unnecessarily. Possible, I suppose, if one removed the slicing blade, but that's toying with something that might just come back to bite you. You would have to cut the food into pieces no wider than the carriage (it can cut food that is longer because of the open face of the carriage), fry-cut, gather the cuts, place them at 90 degrees under the carriage somehow, and go at it again. I do the fry cut and then hand-dice. It still saves 2/3 of the time of dicing by hand!

I don't have the green nicer dicer so I can't compare. This is a sturdy model and hope it holds up better than a green/white onion dicer I have had in the past.

I didn't repair it. I emailed Progressive and explained the problem. They sent me a new lid no questions asked. I got great customer service.

I had the same issue with a different model. I forced it open slightly manually once and it was ok. I know it sounds crude. But it worked in the past.

I have the same problem with the one I bought. It ended up in a drawer. :-(

I've ordered 4 of these pill containers, and they are all easy to open. You could try using something like Vaseline to rub on the lid and/or container at the top. Perhaps you should return this for a replacement.
