I've been having a problem where oil collects in & then drips off the edge of my current 13in screen when used on a 10in pan. Does this one do that?

Hi there! I tend to slow simmer things for hours and have never had a problem with anything dripping off of it. I LOVE this thing. It is my favorite kitchen tool. :D

Mine does the same thing, like in the picture here. Is yours opened even more? If so, maybe something needs oiling.

I have been using mine with the oil in the water as well since I got mine in August. Sometimes it seems like there is buildup on the little disc at the bottom of the water reservoir so when the water is gone I wipe that out.

per the instructions the seals will not hold with not oil. I wanted it for popcorn, but if I do the rubber seal will be no good. You might want to take out the gasket then try it.

Occasionally, it would leak out the side, not badly. We have replaced this one as it kept flashing "clean" on the display no matter what we did even after several chemical cleanings and the output would slow way down.

I've had no problems like this. It seems there may be something else going on with yours. Was anything spilled on it?

I have never had this experience. I put bottle of oil connected to machine with screen on cap and tubing into bottle and machine worked fine. No mess around machine or on surface onwhich it sat.

I have not but I do not like the place you drop the oil in. It's very difficult to clean.

I haven't had any problems with the handle getting hot but, as with any splatter screen, I make sure the handle is not hanging over the heat (by being used on a too small pan). I am very careful when handling the splatter screen (especially washing) as the handle connection does seem fragile.

Yes. I'm using a Lodge 10" skillet. The screen's diameter extends well over the edges.

No but we have not found that to be a problem. We are currently putting a piece of reynolds wrap on the top so nothing gets in the oil.

I had the same issue with it, so I just add the oil to the water as well. It's worked great for me so far.

We have not had any problems with dripping anywhere. The handle has gotten wobbly a couple of times and we tightened the screw on the handle which fixed it. Sorry this isn't much help

I have the same kind of cooktop and I have not had a problem with it. I love my pan I was looking for something a little taller than other pans this size and this one is perfect.

I do not know about the warranty, I had the same problem and I noticed if there is oil between the gasket (seal) and the glass you will not get a tight seal for adequate pressure to build. So far it's been months and I'm still loving mine! It saves me oil on my non-stick cookware & salads (cause I'm a messy girl at times)

I'll echo the other answers and add that someone mentioned that loosening the oil cap after sitting of the saw relieves pressure and stops the dripping. It seemed to help a little with mine.

There is a little hole in the base next to the spout that must allow excess oil to go back into the bottle. I haven't had any problems with oil dripping down the side of the bottle.
