Lid lock? Is that true of all cycles?

It locks because it's a pressure cooker- just like the stove top ones that can't be opened. Anyway- you can open the lid when it is in Slow Cook function (that's useful since I'm always cooking beans in it). I can't say if it works like that in porridge mode since I haven't tried it yet. All of the rices are cooked using pressure so none of the rice cycles can be opened. I hope this helps. It's a really great machine and I couldn't recommend it more.

Yes -- this is a real problem with this lid. Every once in a while I have to wait to have one of my sons get it off for me (it can take brute force).

The one I bought less than a year ago does allow the gas connector to lock on. I have not had any problems with simply holding the ring up while pushing down in order to no lock it. I normally do it this way, but if you slowly connect it I don't see why it locking would be a problem.

No, they don't lock, but they aren't really easy to remove. I would not recommend you waste your money on this. As I said in my review, the lids are very tight, when you apply the pressure to open, 11 of mine have snapped off. That wouldn't be so bad, if they securely snap back on, but they don't. I could of spent less on a less day model.

No. But you can buy a child proof latch to lock the lid. But really this feature should have been there.

Not a locking lid but it has a lip with strainer holes you can line up to drain or not. The lid does fit snuggly otherwise.

Think so, it is a safety feature. I have no problem with it being in the lock position during cooking, I don't think the lock position is just for traveling with this crockpot. I love mine, use it regularly.

Yes the lid lock click close and no mess when turn upside-down. I have these pretty bobbin box for more than a year now. Sturdy and really serving its purpose. My bobbins are well organized. So happy with the purchase so far. The plastic is not fragile to break like other bobbin box.

No, the lid does not lock. But you could put one of these child proof locks on it? http://www.amazon.com/Munchkin-XTRAGUARD-Count-Action-Latches/dp/B007A2ZSZ8/ref=sr_1_1?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1397532862&sr=1-1

no, this does not have a locking lid. however the LO sits like a pot lid. The ,nice thing about this lid is it has 2 sets of strainer holes somyouncan strain the liquid out without losing the contents.

Lids close as soon as you take your foot off the pedal. But you can hold the lid open with your hsnd. Also, remember, there is a removeable liner that wou need most of the cleaning.

No the lid does not lock closed so if you tried to set it upright like that it would just fall open

John,Yes, the drawers lock when you close the top. However if you'd like the ability to open drawers with the lid closed all you have to do is close the lid with the drawers open, you can then close the drawers... they will not close completely but they will close enough to look as if they're closed. I do it all the time, my grand kids are in my shop often and don't even realize they're open.

If the little brown clips are pushed outward, that locks the lid. Push them toward the middle to release. I never lock mine because the lid fits into grooves and won't fall off. They turn the lid counter clockwise to release it. It should then just lift right up.

Yes. The black square at the center of the lid is a two part hasp for a lock such as a combination or key lock.

If opened fully, the lid will stay open. But must be opened all the way for hinge to lock.

Yes it locks in place very well. With mine it had a slight error where twice it locked a little too well and wouldn't shut.
