Is there a gap between the rim and the mesh where food can get stuck?

NO and it is surprisingly easy to clean considering the size of the mesh. I have had several months now and it is still getting better.

Mine sits perfectly, no gap. I'm guessing a batch of their production went bad as i saw some similar comments here lately.

There is a slight bevel where the two mesh plates join. But nothing that would prevent something from lying flat on it.

Haven't used it for quinoa yet. Haven't noticed other food getting stuck in the edge though.

The gap is just a little more than an inch wide. I have had my pen for almost a year now with no issues. The pins have a round ball attached to the top. It would be very difficult to be impaled by it.

I've been using my crock for about 6 months. There is no gap as you describe it. I just have to be sure the lid is positioned just right so that the lid oval meets the crock oval perfectly. I never fill the crock to the top--there are two of us and I cook smaller amounts. So I'd say in answer to your question, a 1/4 inch gap between the lid and crock at the long sides is NOT normal. The lid should rest comfortably and completely on the crock. You never lock the lid when cooking. And I don't lock it when it's stored either. I hope this helps.

I didn't find this to be a problem since the holder can be pushed down by finger pressure as you go, which lowers the food until there is next to nothing left. However, skinny things like carrots can be trickier to mount in the holder just right so it happens correctly.

I agree. Small gaps are not a big problem and you can limit the gaps on the edges by increasing the gaps in the middle. 1/4" gaps are not going to hurt the end result. Excuse my repeating myself, but the MOST important thing is to make sure you have some liquid on the top layer of noodles, even if you have to dilute the sauce a bid.

Yes, there is a small gap in the compartments. I use one of the small steel containers and it fits in the openings without spilling.

The lid on my cooker fits on the cooker so that steam does not escape.However, I can move the lid slightly backwards and forwards. The lid always stays over the ceramic bowl. In other words, there is never a gap between the lid and the ceramic bowl for steam to come out of.Maybe this can help you determine whether there is a manufacturing defect.

No, there should not be a gap. I would contact the seller and let them what's going on. I would read the reviews and product review before buying any item.

That gap is designed to let the air in to mix with the fuel. it is entirely normal. you may have to block it a little in extremely windy conditions.

A gap where? There shouldn't be any gap between the metal handle and the plastic boss where the handle stops. If there is, the valve is not all the way closed and will not seal.

Sorry for taking so long to reply. Yes there is about a one inch gap at the top and bottom. However. I carry two mtn bikes for 500 miles at a time and have had no problems whatsoever. I have also towed my camper and the bike along with my two kayaks on the roof with no problems. I hope this helps

The gap is there because I believe it is due to the two plastic tabs on the front that prevents it to close all the way. It wasn't meant to enclose the Mac just to protect it .I hope this helped u

I just ordered this and there is a HUGE gap at the top. I'm confused as to how the other reviews say it closes all the way!
