Water trapped in lid when washed can I pry off lid without destroying it ?

Yes, I did. Don't know how else to really clean it without taking the lid apart.

Yes, pull the flexible plastic part off the bottom. I often wash them separately, may be better to hand wash.

Yes it's a bit tricky but it comes out you dry it all off and it goes back together. I try to not wash the lids if I can. Good luck!

I found it easier to take the lid apart once I realized I need to pull the top off, not try to pry the bottom. I'm talking about the very top part of the lid. Just pop it from the rest. Once my husband showed me, I had to laugh at how frustrated I had been trying to get it apart. Good luck.

Unscrew retaining nut, remove washer, slowly working the edge ply the metal lid up. Careful not to damage the rubber, for inner rubber covered lid, gently pull rubber barrel edge back to release pressure/vacuum, then pull up inner rubber covered lid. It can be pulled by the stud that held the nut inplace.

Although the cover is removable, you don't need to remove it unless you want to wash it. To open the pressure cooker, you slid the lid to the left and lift to open; the lid stays attached to the base. To remove the lid completely, you just unsnap it from the base; it's very simple.

yes. when you take the lid off, make sure its in the "open" position (with the red showing on the top) and from there the sealer twists off pretty easily. run it through water and you're good. Personally I just undo the lid and throw it in the dishwasher, that does the trick when i'm lazy.

I've never taken it apart. The straw pulls out very easily. Then I just throw it in the dish washer or use a bottle brush. The straw is wide enough I've never had a problem with it being cleaned out. If you have stuff stuck in the straw then I would suggest a pipe cleaner or they do sell straw cleaners...not sure what they are called. I see them with sippy cups for kids all the time. I just looked to see if I could pull the straw out of the grey part of the lid and I'm not sure it's supposed to come out. I could wiggle it, but when I pulled it didn't budge at all.

I would just toss it in some water, might need to boil it. If it is an issue of salt in there keeping it stuck, it will dissolve out. If that didn't work, try putting just the bottom part in some type of oil, submerging the threads of the cap, olive/coconut, and let it get in the threads and turn the lid both clockwise and counter clockwise. If it is cross threaded that might help break it loose. That is what I would try if mine was stuck. Good luck.

The newer design has a little snap-tight flap under the lid that you open, then just put it in the dishwasher. I also put the older style lid (without the opening flap) in the dishwasher and haven't had any problems.

You need to twist it off. it is kind of tricky, but just be patient and hold the bottom part and twist the lid. if you look at the lid, you can see there is a part that locks on the bottom part.

Yes the lid can be removed but not an easy on and off. I remove it to clean occasionally. Best can going!

Unplug is the first thing. Then we just carefully wipe out the part where the blade is with a damp paper towel. The lid can be washed in warm soapy water. Just make sure you dry it well.

Yes I can remove the lid, if I pull on it even a little, after the middle button is pushed down. I was able to do this pretty much immediately, so it's not that the product is old or faulty. They don't seal 100%. They close pretty well but they are not airtight at all. I live in Hawaii, and was concerned about bugs and humidity. The good part is that bugs (esp ants) haven't gotten in yet, after two years. But the bad part is that the humidity has gotten in. So most of the stuff I keep is in a plastic bag inside of the container. Pretty lame, considering the price, but they stack well and aren't ugly.

I wash it without disassembling it. Lots of soapy water and rinse well. Done. Even will put it in the dishwasher. Comes out fine. I would not take it apart.

The lid will not come off. Also the gray flap will appear to be pulled down into the opening. It should make a whoosh sound whenreleased.

There is nothing to remove. Make sure the opening is slid open as that is that part you pull to close when disposing. You should be good to go from there. I hope this helped!

It is not removable...that I have ever found. I take a towel and use the hot water that condenses on the lid and wipe it off. It cleans fine that way.

Yes, you can remove the plastic ice container and still use the lid. But just F.Y.I. I'm sending mine back because the first time I tried to wash it, it cracked from top to bottom. It was almost as if the whole thing is just too heavy and there was too much stress at the handle. I also was not aware that the insert was plastic. That was a bummer.

My lid is fine. Of course, like anything else made of glass, I think you have to be careful when washing it. I put mine in the dishwasher. No more fragile than glass coffee pots etc.
