has the lid warped over time in outdooor conditions? Does it still shut neatly and squarely?

After a couple of years mine works perfectly and I use it a lot. It is a wonderful storage unit and looks nicer than any other I have seen.

Ours has preformed nicely. We do not notice any impacts from the sun and weather - and this is Taos NM where we get tons of sun at high altitude. We get lots of weather extremes. The top keeps out the rain and snow and snows no signs or warping or twisting. We did stain the wood to match our spa - and the box seems as good as the day we bought it two + years ago. Could not be more pleased with this product.

Ours has been sitting outside since last July and there are no problems with it (and we had a terrible winter).

Have two of them. Neither has warped ... so far (2 years) they have worked perfectly.

Mine is still in perfect condition; however, I've applied a layer of an outdoor-rated coating in the very beginning.

The lid is extra and the pan is substantial so under normal cooking warping should not be a problem.

Ju,y 2014: I have had mine for on,y a couple of weeks, but it's a great product so far. The lid closes like it has hydraulics and there is no side to side sliding. Have fingers crossed!

Cracks formed in the lid. They replaced it with one with only one penetration. The original had 2. The crackes formed between the 2 holes. It should be fine now.

Mine did not come with a vent hole plug, so I am assuming you are referring to the metal liner twisting. After I had used mine a few times, the inner metal liner twisted a bit, making it appear that the vent hole was closed. However, I determined that there is a space between the cover and the metal liner in the lid, so even though it twists so that the holes don't line up, it is still able to vent through the holes because of that space. I've been using mine for going on 2 years now with no trouble whatsoever.

Mine has not warped. I have had it over a year and it still as flat as the first day I got this ironing board.

Sometimes the seal can be a bit loose. Once it came off and stuck to the plastic lid. Have you looked inside to check?

This is a high quality pan. Weve used it for over a year and it has not warped. The secret is not to wash it until it cools down. If you run water over it, especially cold water, it will warp due to the sudden change of temperature. Hope this helps.

Mine does not sit flat anymore either but I just figured it was from me dropping it! Though, I have never had a problem cooking it it even though it tilts.

It works fine for me without warping. I always try to watch my pots and pans immediately after use before they cool down and it's still lookin' good.

I've put it in the dishwasher a few times and it's been fine, except that the ring seal in the lid came off. But I wouldn't put it in often as I think the pattern might fade off eventually. That's happened to my other thermoses (thermi??!) and this is really sweet so I want to keep it looking nice!

I've used mine for about six months with no problems whatsoever. I use it almost daily in the microwave, and also wash it on the top rack of the dishwasher. No warping or melting. This cover works great!

I have an earlier model with the same cover. I've dropped it several time while it was filled. Usually the lid stays on. +1 for a tight lid!

I have used it for a few months and it has not warped. I do wash it by hand and it is easy to keep clean. I also have a gas range which I know can be a little harder on pans than electric and it's been fine.

is the lid on tightly??? see if it comes off, rinse dry and replace. see if that makes a difference.

Yes. I have no issues with the lid. I do close it when I'm not using it. But it does stay open when I am.

I've closed it up with water and soap, shaken like mad, and no leaks. In other words, I was trying to make it leak and it didn't. You can lock the lid closed to be doubly sure.
