New one and it is hard to slide. Seems like it would break trying to separate it. Can any one help? Saw on Food Network. Looked easy. Disappointed.

Mine was a little stiff at first as well, but make sure you're using a twisting motion more than a sliding-up motion.

I used it for peanut butter and it worked well. I sprayed it with pam first.

This is very use to take apart and clean. Hasn't broken yet and I use it a lot. Great item for baking.

Mine is snug (it has to be so it won't leak when measuring liquids), but it slides smoothly and disassembles easily. Note that the guide knobs ride in helical tracks, so the sliding motion is a twisting one instead of straight up and down.

you must simply twist it. the plunging will happen naturally. be careful when cleaning and taking it apart as the seal has proven to be a bit fragile.

Just pull straight down. If dispensing, make sure the knobby piece is lined up in the track and push straight up.

It is supposed to snap apart. My husband was trying to take the slide off so he could move some things and it is on very well. Call Little Tykes they are very nice and easy to work with.

VERY CAREFULLY! In truth, I would think you would have to manage to work it apart as gently as possible. I've not done this and am not willing to do so to find out. The sliders can fit rather tightly even when done correctly, so just do the best you can. Maybe you can help using a very small flat screwdriver to work the catches apart. It's only plastic so be gentle. Good Luck! One other thing, are both the locking catches on the same side? If not, it doesn't matter whether the logo is on the back or front, it works either way. they just fit very snugly.

Now that is the hard part. Once you put it on. Its on there tight. You have to really pull on it to separate it. Or just unscrew the black plate from the base. They are really hard to take apart.

I have the previous model but the same problem. I put a piece of packing tape on the underside of the bowl and feeder, holding the bowl against the feeder. Never had a problem since. :)

Hi, I have never had that problem....but if it happened I would use a coated spatula and slide it under to release...I love mine...in fact, I have two....good luck

I couldn't find a way to separate without breaking it. So I end up just rinsing it out after use. In that way it is a poor design. If someone knows how to do it, I would be interested in knowing too.

i had that problem for a while but just kept raising the tray and pulling and it would come out, or jockey it back and forth. i no longer have the problem though. make sure it is on a flat surface.

Unfortunately no. That is a great idea! They need one that slides out. Best if luck.

It's very hard to take it off, I had one before, it was like this one, I just took it off to change it for this new one. if you wanna change it for a new one, you can pull it hard. You may wanna do it just if you don't wanna it anymore or you wanna change it, because it might break on the corners. Good luck!!

I placed a rubber mat under mine. This keeps it from sliding around. My issue was it developed cracks overnight on one side after treating it with cutting board oil before my first use.

I had problems getting mine to slide up. It was a struggle. Once I got it opened, it did click.

Are you sure that the rotating part has not slipped slightly when you placed the food on the tray? Sometimes we have the problem and find that the tray slipped a hair and then from the weight of the food, it slipped enough to stop completely or rubs on the side of the appliance. Was cooking a chicken in a bag (in half-time) and the bag got so heavy with juice that it hit the side of the appliance and stopped completely. My wife loves the half-time. Does not use the regular oven at all anymore.

I have not attempted to take it apart but it certainly looks like it would be difficult. It is also difficult to clean but has given me no trouble and I would replace it if this one would get "broken".

When it stops sliding, pull the cover straight out. It only slides a little, then you have to pull it out. Hope this helps......Jim

There is an instructional video on their website...I felt the same way til I watched the video...it's super easy. It just peels apart at the top of the case

yes, it sounds like a defective unit, it shouldn't slide as you've described it. good luck.
