Is the lid supposed to shift as much as it does? (it's not at all snug)

Not Snug is actually a little better. there was an issue with the original MagnaLite Professional lids (Yes I own a set) and they would tend to seal themselves with moisture. this (I have read) had caused a couple of lids to "blow off" the pot. Also, the lid was designed that any steam that hit the lid would funnel back down to the inside lip and back into the food. The fact that the lid is not very snug is a good thing IMOHP...

To be honest, I haven't noticed it being a problem but then again I don't use the pan on a regular basis. I just put the lid on my pan and it does shift a bit. The eggs turn out fine though.

Ours isn't tight by any means: it shifts several millimeters. But the construction keeps the slip pretty well in check, and I don't remember having any problems with it in use.

It's not snug, but it doesn't really shift. If you're cooking the eggs with a boil I guess it could, but you're not supposed to do that
2001835
mine does too, but if you look closer, there doesn't appear to leaking steam. working well.

Mine is somewhat loose, but I think that might be part of the design to let some of the steam out. It really works great.

Mine is the same and I don't know but think they made it that way so some of the steam can escape so the water doesn't boil up into the cups. Just my guess but it does a good job of poaching the eggs.

Yeah, we had that same issue. We tried several different approaches and currently have it 'curled' in the opposite direction and have a large rubber band holding it. Hopefully this will finally make the large lid useful.

Yes, the lid is tight fitting. Everything stays in its place. It's a great organizer.

It does tend to jiggle a little, and it does not secure snug. After a while you will hardly notice it. I have owned mine for almost a year and I don't notice it uless I grab it from the top.

Yes, the lid is loose because it has to be able to make space for whatever it is that you want to grill. It will adjust to the size of the food that you put in there. I have had my grille for over a year now and it's still in great condition and I couldn't imagine my life without it. I use it every week usually a couple times a week.

I believe so...the lid closes really slowly and stops when it hits an ubstruction so it doesnt really "pinch".

I've had 2 of these. My newest one, the lid is definitely tighter, but still a one handed operation. If it doesn't get easier quickly, I'd get a different one. Is the seal glued on properly? Maybe it slipped??

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.

Mine does that when the inside lid or the outside lid isn't pushed down all the way.

As long as you don't overfill it seems to be tight. When I fill mine with juice, they hold when turned on their side.

Yes, It is quite snug, and requires that you pull firmly to remove the lid.

Nope, its pretty snug when you place it in, but also easy to remove with your fingers. The lid is externally threaded and this sits in the inside, so the lid is able to screw down all the way with no issues. I hope this helps!

My lid does ft. It isn't a tight snug fit but fits on the pot a little bit loose. Just simply sets on the pot. However, although it is t a snug fit I do not have gaps not can I see light between the lid and the pot all the way around but I can move the lid a little while sitting on it. This is one of several west bend cookers I have purchased, first with the digital display, and I absolutely love them. Hope this helps.

I'm not having any problem with the lid on mine. Sorry your having trouble. Send it back

It won't slide under my cabinet with the lid on because the frame of the cabinet is a couple inches lower than the underside. I put the lid on/off while it's under the cabinet and slide it back and forth with the lid off. Not a big deal. I hope that makes sense.

My lid does not fit tight but it has not affected the cooking process. I steam a variety of vegetables in it every day and it works quickly and great!

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.
