The lid of mine has a small vent hole with silicone grommet. Is something supposed to go in this hole? Most crock pots are not vented.

You're not supposed to clamp the lid while cooking. For those who do, the hole allows pressure to escape with no damage.

I have the hole as well. I don't believe so. I thought it was strange too...but it worked great so I didn't worry about it.

I think it's just for ventilation, as you suspect. There's nothing to go into it.

I don't have the answer. I had the same problem with this Crock Pot and I hated it. I just bought another crock pot and I love that one.

If I had it to do over again I would NOT buy this crock pot-will only cook on high, low does very little-I know this doesn't answer your questions, no rubber gasket, fits good, not sure about the depth, plenty big enough, just won't cook on low-hope this helps

From talking with others, splattering out of a vent hole is very common. I had a rice cooker that splattered out the edges as well. I suspect that this is caused by the same issue you are referring to. Although all my rice cookers have had a vent hole, adding a little oil or butter took care of the problem. I add only a teaspoon or so. Using butter adds a nice flavor!

I just bought this product and while reading the user's manual I came across the answer. They are vent holes but the voltage on the cooker has been adjusted to deal with any loss of heat while cooking.

I was unable to measure the diameter of the probe, but I checked it out on my Crock Pot slow cooker and it doesn't fit into the glass hole in that lid.

these Zori's has a steam vent and a inner lid that secures to the top outer lid. moisture is trapped in between those two and the excess water/moisture is channeled into a well built around the pot itself. everything is self-contained within the unit so there is no outer components to attach. one thing to note, if there is a lot of water/moisture after cooking you are using too much water to begin with. I seldom have any issues with excess moisture because the unit does a great job venting it away. hope this helps.

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.

There is no hole. Steam comes out the edges of the lid.Parenthetically, having a steam vent is not the cause of sputtering. That would be overfilling and/or a dirty pot and/or unwashed rice.

The lid on mine is wobbly, too. Every Crock Pot I've had (and I got my first one back in the early 1960's) has had a wobbly lid. It's designed that way to allow some steam to come out and keep the lid from popping off like a pressure cooker would. This one may be a bit more wobbly than some others, but it works just fine. I have dinner cooking in mine right now, and I can guarantee it'll be ready when I want it -- and delicious! :)

Mine didn't have a cap for the steam vent. It did come with a pin with an orange handle for piercing the egg shells. Could it be that your pin had just the orange handle and a missing pin? That might make it look like a vent cap. I lost my pin so I can't look at it to see if it would fit the vent hole. Regardless, I never cap the vent or pierce my egg shells and there isn't a problem.

I ask the very same question when I received my crock pot but this is normal! Unlike the old version of crock pots that we are use to this one has heating elments all around the crock insert to allow even cooking! The lid allows steam to escape so you are left with perfect dishes everything! I have made all kinds of things in mine and have never had any issues..I'm still in love!

My lid is heavy enough to kept any moisture from escaping. I don't have that problem with my All-clad. Sorry, maybe you should have them to replace your lid.

No the lid actually fits really tight, this is the best pot for slow cooking I have ever owned. I very seldom ever pull out the crockpot anymore. You won't be sorry if you are looking for the perfect slow cooker, this is the one. At least it is for me. Sláinte.

This stock pot lid does have a tiny whole in the lid that provides super ventilation. I just used this pot yesterday to make stew for a crowd. I love this pot.

You can take the crock out of the outer metal container that has the electric controls and put the crock in the microwave. I have never put the lid in the microwave. It may have a metal ring around it thus making it unsafe to do so.

Hello Joel,I have a Rival Crock Pot Slow Cooker as well with the plastic handle. My question to you is did you get this handle to work and was the bolt to short or the diameter to big/small?Thank you in advance!
