Does the lid lock down at all or can it pop off while cooking (like other models)?

It clicks closed - I have not had any problems with the lid popping off like my old one. I use this cooker at least 3 -4 times per week.

I have never had a problem with this because I just gently twist the lid on a cook as usual.

The lid doesn't lock down, but I have not had a problem with it popping off.

It twists on. I have not known it to pop off. I have bought several of these as presents. Everyone seems pleased and I have not heard of any problems.

It's got a "bayonet" lock. The type where you twist is slightly to lock it. It doesn't work real well, but having the lid come off has never been a problem.

Just drop the lid down, press down and it auto-snaps shut. You can then also use the key to lock it.

You're probably just not pushing the lid down all the way when you start the cooking cycle. If you're pressure cooking, you have to push down on the lid kind of hard to get the seal. I underestimated it myself the first time I tried and so it was also just sitting on warm till I checked it again. Now I know that when the lid is really locked, you hear the pressure build upon the cooker at the beginning.

It doesn't fit tightly inside at all but has a hinge so it will not fall off. I would rather it did not have the hinge but instead fit tightly inside the lip, but haven't had any problem with boil overs

nope, no problems. Super control of the water stream when pouring, a lot safer and neater than my old tea kettle. No lids popping off for me.

It does not lock it just rests over the food item...there is no locking mechanism once the lid is down to my knowledge

It doesn't close by itself, you have to push it down and click it into place. Which is nice as you can leave it open while you are cooking or scraping dishes, etc.

Not a locking lid but it has a lip with strainer holes you can line up to drain or not. The lid does fit snuggly otherwise.

It does not have a lock that you would have to release to lower the top. In the up position the top is balanced past center so the weight of the top holds it open. We haven't had any accidental closures

The cap snaps closed secure not to drip when tilted. It remains attached when lifted up. No loose parts. The lid is like a little lever that lifts the lid up and can stay there on its own. Or snap shut. I like it more than cork bottles or those flipping lids. These do not drip and leak all over. I cook a lot and fell in love when I bought these. They were supposed to be a temporary fix and I ended up keeping the set and ordering more for gifts. My mother now uses it and loves it as well.

Mine stays back no problem. I see what others were talking about in terms of the lid needing to go back a certain distance before it locks in place, but it can lock itself back without assistance nearly every time for me. I definitely never have to hold it open manually; the spring has always supported it just fine on its own. Its kind of like an umbrella. It's kinda loose until you pass the latch point and then it stays open on its own.

Not a locking lid. But I use this thing everyday. Best piece of cookery I have.

No, the lid isn't locked if you don't pushing the pedal. I would say that it is NOT pet proof. If it tips over the lid will swing open. It doesn't take much effort to open the lid.

The lid clicks when closed but remember you can easily lift the lid with your fingers. I am not sure to what degree you mean "that secure".

Top lid doesn't lock; it would leak if tipped. But I wouldn't trade this one for anything. I love it. Cooks beautifully. Warm setting is really warm and doesn't overcook.

I have had no problem with the lid coming off. If you snap it in place, it is very secure. Even the squirrels haven't been able to take the lid off.

There is a rim that "more or less" holds it in place. I find it easier when moving it to just take the lid off and carry the butter exposed in the dish. It would be nice if they would put some kind of handle on the lid but in lieu of that, when carrying the entire dish, I always wrap my hand around the entire top of the dish all the way to the bottom and grip it that way. Otherwise, as mentioned before, I take the lid off. Once you put the lid on and have it in place, however, the rim WILL keep the lid in place unless you jostle it hard. Hope this helps. Love this dish. Butter never goes bad and stays nice and soft.
