I have read reviews that say the lid pops off when making soup. Has anyone had this happen.

I haven't tried to make soup yet, but I do use my Blendtech almost daily making smoothies, salad dressings, peanut butter etc... I have not had any problems with the lid. If this is a concern, just hold the lid down while processing. It only takes seconds for this blender to pulverize anything you put in it.

its been a while since i had this but i believe it should just twist/pull/pop right off. i dont remember the lid being an issue for me.

My lid just developed a hole in it, too. I'm just curious if your lid is sporting a perfect circle right in the center? (That's what mine looks like.)

I break my instant noodles into 4 pieces. Then thow them in, add a bottle of water and nuke it for 2:30mins at high, bring it out, mix the noddles around and put it back in for another 2 mins without lid this time (or else it gets bubbles raising). I love it, it's great for soup, it won't spill

Same thing happened to me on the large one, my husband is very handy and he took the lid apart and there was a wire that got disconnected, he was able to fix it, if it wasnt for him than it would still not be working. If you filled out the product registration than you can contact the company and they will replace it.

same thing happened with mine. the seal came right off with the lid. But I wasn't too worried; the shea butter looked untouched. They def need to do a better job of sealing, but I'm thinking that some environmental factors caused it to lift off when you first open the cap.

It's not the lid that breaks. It's the little latches on the sides of the bottom (hot plate). When they break you can't make the electrical connection so it won't work. I now make popcorn in a saucepan on the stove. Much better!

The lid when closed does not make a snap sound. Be sure to check that it fits snugly on top of the lower half and that the plastic ring washer is on the underside of the metal egg holder. If your whites are cooked yet yolks are still soft then try a higher time set since in your case altitude may affect cooking times. If that cover does not fit down firmly on the bottom half then you may have a defective item. Also check both halves for possible cracks. I use mine often and have had great results each time I use it.

My daughter takes soup for lunch almost every day for the past year or so...the leftover soup is still relatively hot when she gets home and other than a few dings, it held up great...and til the lid that holds the spoon fell off the top shelf in the dishwasher and was resting on the heating coil at the bottom. It melted a hole in the side of the lid...but that isn't Thermos' fault. I was looking for a replacement lid online but couldn't find one so I just bought a new thermos.

I have had mine for a week, I read the reviews prior to purchase so I do not put it in the microwave or the dishwasher. Each time I have washed by hand, I have not encountered problems with the lid fitting......I cannot disclose anything but my own experience

This has happened to me, I completely shattered the top because it was too hot and I let go of it while pouring. You must hold the lid and the handle. I have to use a towel etc to grab the handle sometimes. I like this tea kettle regardless though.

I haven't because I don't think it's deep enough to really cook soup (except for perhaps a very fast-cooking type of soup.) The flavors and ingredients wouldn't really meld, IMO. Also, although the lid seems very secure and tight, I'm not sure it would seal in the cooking ingredients well enough to do the slow-cook thing for several hours without losing too much liquid.

The lid does come off but it has to be on to hold the bag. It is honestly the best garbage can I ever had. I got my first one at Home Depot then when I needed one for my grandfather they didn't have anymore and I found it here in amazon. It really is AWSOME. There are two metal bars that hold the bag I. Place no matter how much u over fill the bag it will stay in place and u pretty much never need to take the lid off. Just open it and pull bag out and replace

I have bought several and they are pretty inconsistent with the way the lids fit. One of mine is so tight my kids can't open it, the other is super loose, and the third close to just right. I would not chance it in two of mine, the third one might handle for soup....luck of the draw you might get one with an ideal fit.

The lid comes completely off - it sits snugly on the pan. The turning blades are attached to the lid so everything is all one piece. The rubber cup comes off for washing, and the steam release nub may come off, but I haven't taken it off yet. I do find a fine spray of oil on my stove after popping the corn, but that may be b/c I remove the rubber cup when I am finished and add my butter directly into the opening while rotating the handle. It gets nicely distributed that way. I haven't had much luck putting the butter in the cup while popping the corn - it doesn't melt fast enough. I hope this answers your question.

I'm not sure what your lid is doing, but every once in a while ours will stay popped up a bit after pouring. It only does this sometimes and when it does I just tap lid near the spout and it seats down again.

I have the same problem. Two of my lids broke. I just emailed Thermos, so I will just have to wait and see what they say.
