I'm trying to decide between the stainless lid or the plastic lid. Does anyone have any thoughts? the plastic one hard to clean on the underside?

I love this can. I had original for 6 years and just got the 2nd for recycling. I would say that maybe the staninless would be better than the plastic. My dog tried to chew open the plastic lid and it has left not-so-nice marks... would maybe be less apparent on the stainless.

I got the stainless and it looks nice and is easy to clean inside and out. Definitely doesn't show fingerprints and smudges like an old can did. However it will get dented. Drop something on it, have a three year old whack it with drumsticks, whatever. Still looks clean, just dimpley.

I love the thermos. It is however hard to clean because there's no cleaning tool long enough to clean down to the bottom. I use a handiwipe and my long spatula to clean it. Lorraine

Yes! That's one of the nice design features. I should mention that I didn't actually get the stainless steel one, it looks a little different, but I'm assuming the lid design is the same.

I've had mine since June of 2012, in the refrigerator every day, no problems with the lid at all. I hand wash it, keeping the lid clean requires a small stiff brush that can get into the grooves in the lid though. I don't microwave with the lid on, that might do something to the lid but I fill it with hot coffee every day...

Thanks much for the tip. I'll give it a try. I too am not too concerned about the inside of the lid.

I got the stainless steel one. Just thought it would clean better. Works very well.

I have a painted one that didn't fare well cosmetically after a couple rounds in the dishwasher. I advise just buying the stainless one if you intend to use the dishwasher.

I never have that problem. I do not wash the underside. I wash the inside I cooked on. I love mine and use it often.

I am looking to replace my Bodum, which finally broke. I bought a Bodum replacement and was horrified to find that it now has a plastic insert inside the top of the lid. My old one doesn't have it. I would like to return it and get one without plastic, but if this one has it too, then it's not the one. Why can't these companies make anything without plastic touching boiling water?

I didn't want a stainless body. I think it would be harder to keep clean. Also, I just liked the color options for the grill box the Weber offers on the E330. Hope this helps!

Mine clogs! I love the container except for the plastic spigot and heard that you can buy a metal one from Amazon that is good. No sure which one it is.. sorry I could not be more helpful.. :(sorry I cannot be more helpful.. :(

The lid and plastic ring clean better for me when I hand wash them. When I placed in the dishwasher, it did not clean as well as my hand washing did.

Mine, the lid broke after 6 months of use. I contacted the company and they sent a replacement free of charge. Contact them and they should be able to help you!

I have the old model, but there are screws on the top that you can take out to get to the inside of the lid for thorough cleaning. Hope that helps!

I've had mine for two years and regularly wash it in the dishwasher. However, the chrome around the lid is separating from the plastic creating a very sharp edge....I have cut my lip on it several times. I think this is probably due to the dishwasher.

I haven't had to clean mine yet. I was just looking at it to see how hard it looks to clean. I think that once the wax gets a little lower I will just remove the wax when it is semi-hard. I think it will peel away from the plastic easily. I had spilled some wax on the sides before and it peeled right off the sides.
