I forgot to ask before. My previous slow cooker collected water around the lid from the heat &amp; this made the lid rattle. Does this one do that?

It does not. There is a rubber seal around the edge of the lid. Hope this helps!

I don't know if what I tell you is right, but all I know is that I do not use water in the butter crock. The first time I did use water, it, as strange as it sounds, kind of absorbed into the butter and made the butter somewhat swollen. The butter did not stay in the cup. I stopped using the water and it has been fine ever since. I love the crock!

I got this cooker a few years already and this happened to me sometimes. What I do is make sure the yellow button is not up and open the lid. I take and gasket out and reapply it again and put the lid back. It works. I guess somehow when I put the lid on the gasket doesn't fit tight enough so air and steam leak out and takes a long long time to build up the pressure. Good luck!

I have not noticed a difference as long as you keep the probe suspended in the water. Water is a poor conductor of heat and will not fluctuate very much with the change in temp of the crockpot.

When the 0's are circling, it means the cooker has not yet reached full temperature. The pot is unable to heat up for some reason. I assume there is some noise and steam escaping from it... Check to be sure the silicone sealer ring is in place underneath the lid. Check that the lid is rotated all the way closed. Check that the little plastic piece on top drops down into the "closed" position and not up to "exhaust". The little hole on top of the lid should make a hissing sound for only 5-10 seconds, then the pot will go quiet. The numbers will stop circling a few minutes after the pot becomes quiet.

It doesn't have good seal on the lid when you are cooking. If you have liquid inside the pot, it will come out while traveling. I used it to cook bone soup for my dogs and water is flying all over my counter and even inside the stainless tub. I bought it because it's cheap.

No the lid actually fits really tight, this is the best pot for slow cooking I have ever owned. I very seldom ever pull out the crockpot anymore. You won't be sorry if you are looking for the perfect slow cooker, this is the one. At least it is for me. Sláinte.

Look at other slow cookers, not many have what you'd call a tight-fitting lid. It's usually just a thin glass lid that can rattle a bit when cooking on Highl. I have an earlier HB Stay or Go non-programmable model with a hole, no probe, no problems. There's no stream of steam that escapes, nothing seems to come out of it, even cooking on High.

Mine never did that or I didn't notice it and my husband would say I notice everything. Mine came with little rubber things around the lid. I keep them on it when I store it. Used it yesterday to make a chicken noodle with vegetable soup. Used it Sunday to do the Pioneer woman chuck roast that is Devine. Started on stove top and finished in the oven.

Well I saw that to and was surprised. I have other crock pots that have the lock lid and I always locked it first. I suppose maybe because of pressure buildup.

I just received mine and I don't have a problem with the lid wobbling but the removable stoneware does wobble when it's placed inside the heating base. Does anyone else have that problem?

Hi Walter. My wife and I bought a new lining through Amazon and are very pleased with it. It was a convenient and cost-effective way to keep the slow cooker going after years of excellent service and we would would do it again if necessary. Hope that helps. Good luck, Tom

The 1st time I used it I got it to shut, but haven't been able to get it to shut again. I found that I wasn't shutting the lid down completely. After I realized what I was doing wrong, it works GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also have one, that I bought! Waste of money! Mine will vibrate slightly, barley enough to feel! Will not keep water hot! Better off with a bucket and hot water!

My sister and I both have one, and she was sitting right next to me when your question arrived. We both agreed that this would be perfect in that situation. You can set it on slow cooker function and it will keep warm or turn off when it is done.

Yes, the HB slow cooker lid has a tightly-fitting rubber seal that is made even tighter by the latch and clip that secure the lid to the slow cooker. That detachable lid is not only very secure but is also very easy to clean. Again, I highly recommend this great HB slow cooker.

This is not common. I have had one for about a year and it works well. The only problem is that the slow cooker function operates at to low a heat about 180 deg. It takes forever to cook anything using this function.
