The lid is loose after it's closed. It seems there is a small gap between the lid and the pot. Is that safe?

Lid will feel slightly loose until the pressure builds up. There's almost no way to make this thing unsafe...the most unsafe thing you can do is attempt to let the pressure off manually by releasing the top valve without shielding your hand from the steam. Be sure you point the skinny end of the pressure valve on top toward you...once the pressure builds up, this should be pretty much sealed. If not, it isn't seated quite right.

The lid is not permanently secured to the teapot. As with most glass teapots, the lid rests on top. I'd recommend holding the lid or taking it off when you don't have much left to pour.

No, the entire lid does not lock down. However, the individual sides do. I would not hesitate to transport this--the seal on this lid is great and I would not fear spillage unless the pot itself was over full.

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.

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

My lid is a little loose left to right also. Maybe it is just in case too much batter is poured so the lid can press down evenly. Not sure- but everything seems to work just fine :) It really is a good little waffle maker.

Most slow cookers have a relatively loose fitting lid to prevent boiling over or pressurizing while the ingredients are cooking for such long periods... that's actually a good thing. The vents in this one may let some steam escape but if it's not enough or if they get clogged by things pushing up, that glass top is going to become shrapnel.Clamping the rubber seal down for extended periods either while cooking or storing will quickly cause it to deform and loose the ability to spring up and do it's job of sealing against the lid.

Sometimes the seal can be a bit loose. Once it came off and stuck to the plastic lid. Have you looked inside to check?

Mine does not close completely. There is a noticeable gap between the movable part and the screw-on part of the lid. When it is in the 'closed' position there is still salt leaking out when I shake.

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

Mostly. It's not very loose like some tea sets are. This one is very sturdy and the lid sits down in the top of the pot-not flush like some.

Yes. I have no issues with the lid. I do close it when I'm not using it. But it does stay open when I am.

Hi Judy,It's an awesome pot but there is one drawback. It has a small opening or cut out in the lid. I'm guessing its a protection to prevent oil from exploding but I wish they would have the same option without the cut out. It does work great as a place for a spoon. Love the size though.

If the lid is not moving, I would take it off again and check the seal on the inside of the lid to make sure it is fitting properly. It should close very easily. Possibly the seal has come out of position or isn't fitting into the grove properly.

Yes, the lid has a tab to the rear to secure it during pouring. It won;t fall off as you pour.Unfortunately, the lid does occasionally get wedged, at least with my pot, perhaps because the lid is slightly oval, so the fit is a little tight; it can be difficult at times to move the lid and take it off. This might not be true of every pot - it could be an aberration, rather than a feature.

Yes, but I took it out. I think why is because when opening the lid it keep falling out. I've had it for awhile and still using it.

It is my understanding locking the lid is an option. It's good for carrying the pot to another location.
