My lid seems to slide/wobble when it's set onto the ceramic crock - way more loose than my old slow cooker. Anyone else have this issue? Safe to use?

My lid slid off the crock while putting away after first use. A chunk of the handle broke off. I taped it back on with electrical tape.... Have used numerous times since, no problem. Just be careful with the lid. It doesn't sit as securely as the old all glass ones. Works great otherwise.

GREAT CROCKPOT......No problem with the lid or fit of lid, mine is the same way, but has no effect on performance!!!!!

the reason I believe that is so that you can leave a spoon or something under the lid , it is the best one that I have ever bought very nice cooker !

Never had that problem, check to be sure the "button" that rests on the lid of the pot moves up and down and is not stuck. Be sure the lid is on the pot!

Once in awhile that happens to me. Usually doesn't persist when I lay my hand (w/pot mitt) on lid. Spring mechanism is sensitive to humidity I think. I have two of these rice cookers. When one has problems. I just switch to my alternate appliance. The next day...the fickle one is usually fine�

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

Put a bit of olive oil on the sliding edges. It's normal to need a stronger push to fully close the lid, but, if closing it isn't possible at all, then return the pan. It might be bent.

I've been using my crock for about 6 months. There is no gap as you describe it. I just have to be sure the lid is positioned just right so that the lid oval meets the crock oval perfectly. I never fill the crock to the top--there are two of us and I cook smaller amounts. So I'd say in answer to your question, a 1/4 inch gap between the lid and crock at the long sides is NOT normal. The lid should rest comfortably and completely on the crock. You never lock the lid when cooking. And I don't lock it when it's stored either. I hope this helps.

I have a Bella 6qt programmable slow cooker with the locking lid and it's pretty snug. I have to work with it a bit to get it to fit.

I just bought one of these, and the lid has about 1/2" of play up and down. This is ridiculous. Seems like there should be a 1/2" - 3/4" thick rubber gasket between the base and lid. Haven't tried it. As soon as I pulled it out the box by the hand and the bottom started wobbling I decided to look this up on google and if it was supposed to be like that. It is definitely being returned.

No, at least mine doesn't. The lid actually has rubber around it so it sits nicely on the crock pot and probably keeps that from happening.

I use mine as a slow cooker most of the time, and it works wonderfully. In fact, my slow cooker recipes come out better in the Ninja than my old crock pot. The little hold does not seem to effect the cooking at all.

I'm sorry you are having such a hard time with your cookware. If you purchased this second set thru QVC, they may take it back,although I don't know how long ago you made your purchase or perhaps it's just this one particular piece and lid that you can have replaced, I would contact QVC since you bought the cookware through them. I personally have not had any issues at all with my cookware, I have been delighted since I took them out of the box. I hope you can get your situation resolved! Lori

Doesn't happen with our cooker, may want to check with the seller / manufacturer

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.

My set has worked well, but the non-stick has started to retain some food bits at times. Using a mild vinegar soak for 10-15 min., seems to release the residue (it's still much easier to clean, than the stainless steel sets). My problem: When simmering/boiling with the glass covers on, fluid becomes trapped between the rubber gasket and metal rim. Over time, I'm noticing buildup and/or a bit of rusting(?) where the lid glass meets the metal, which is near impossible to clean ( I would've preferred a totally metal lid, to this design). Otherwise, I'm a fan of the ceramic coating, on the pans. My set has worked well, but the non-stick has started to retain some food bits at times.

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!

Heat should not escape from the lid. I had mine for just over a year and then it just died. I replaced with a much cheaper crock pot and have had no issues.

The lid doesn't feel as if it is tight, but it is as it cooks really good. My insert doesn't move around a lot, si m not sure what is going on with yours. Hopefully someone else can answer this. I am sorry I can not be any more helpful. I am happy with mine and I would recommend it.
