How tight is the lid supposed to fit? My lid has about a 1/8" space around the entire lid. Also, the insert moves around quite a bit. Is this normal?

No too tight., and the insert does move some, but not a lot. I cook my dry beans for chili and they come out wonderful.

The lid is not a very tight fit as this would cause pressure build up.I never had an issue with the insert,it fits fine in the unit but not tight it does not move however. Hope this helps.

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 basket fits in really just one way and then you flip the basket handle over to lock the basket into place. That should allow the lid to close properly Just fiddle with it...you'll get it

Hi, I haven't purchased a lid but I've tried a couple of lids from other re-usable travel mugs I own and the standard size seems to fit nicely. One that sits on the outside of the lip of the mug. I hope this is helpful. :-)

If you look closely the lid has a small protrusion if you put that in first you shouldn't have any trouble. We have been using using ours for about three weeks and have not had any trouble with the lid.

I haven't noticed but I wasn't looking for it. I usually like to leave the lid attached but sometimes if I go too far it comes completely off. I will check if I remember next time and then update here.

Mine measures right at about 8" and the fit is tight... which I like. 8 1/2 inches might be too tight of a fit.

when you hold it open for a while, specially of it fold it all the way back, it won't align completely when you close it, but it only only takes a few seconds to stretch it and close it so it aligns again. it's a minor issue with me because like I said I just push the lid from the area where it folds towards the front, a couple of pushes and it's back to closing perfectly, I can imagine with time I won't have to do it anymore.

It did not fit mine, exactly as the comment above indicates. The top will not snap into place. Yes, I could close it if I wanted to it and it would probably stay in place 99% of the time, but I'm not looking for an imperfect fit.

I have same problem, It is not the lid but the "O" ring. The "O" ring becomes swollen and then makes the lid hard to shut. However I have replaced with a new one and it is still hard to remove and install. I am in the process of trying to trouble shoot this problem so I can share with others what to do.

The lid would sit on the edge of the pot , but from what I can see and measure, it will not sit down tight in the pot. I would recomentd it if it is not important that the lid fit tigh. I don't know of any other small lid. Sorry I can't give any more information than that. Joan

Yes, it's not a great fit, but it functions well. I don't know of a lid that would fit better.

I saw that too, and it does, technically, fit, but it sits on top, not into the saucepan as I would expect... is that okay? I'm wondering if that even WORKS?

On ours, the canister fits on the base a little loosely and it does move a little when you turn the unit on... I would imaging if the fit was any tighter it would be more difficult to place and/or remove the canister on and off from the base.

Tight-fitting lid = -0- access and -0- breeding....just make sure it is well-sealed. Ours certainly is a tight fit and no accidental shift possible if you've put it on per manufacturer's instructions.

So far... I have not had this problem with my (4) keepers. When I just looked at one of mine, I noticed that there is a groove in the seal that must fit OVER an inner "ridge" in the top of the lid. It kind of 'snaps' onto that ridge when it is on right. You may not be getting the groove on the ridge properly. If that does not correct the problem, then you may want to return it for a new one. I have used one of mine for almost 2 years and have had no problems.
