Why do you not disclose that the lid will not fit after the first wash?

I don't believe mine were ever a perfect fit. They fit over the top but don't snap closed. I was discouraged at first but they stay on fine with the band holding them together and am still overall pleased with the product.

I have not had this problem. I have only washed it by hand as I don't own a dishwasher.

The lid fits just fine after washes and heating. I've used it for 2 weeks. It is not seal-tight. And the utensils pop out of their designated slots. It has nothing to do with washing.

I have had mine for a week, I read the reviews prior to purchase so I do not put it in the microwave or the dishwasher. Each time I have washed by hand, I have not encountered problems with the lid fitting......I cannot disclose anything but my own experience

I don't seem to have that problem. I do close the lid by snapping two adjacent sides shut at the same time.

is the lid on tightly??? see if it comes off, rinse dry and replace. see if that makes a difference.

Don't know. I use a spatter shield some. I just put an ordinary lid from another set on it and that seems to work.

My lids fit pretty good except for last, it fit very snug but I could put it in the rack. I would think maybe try to swap some lids around to see which lids fit better. Hope you are able to get it.

I cannot remember if ours did or not; might be normal. Sometimes just a little bit of wiggle room allows you to close the lid gently and adjust to fit onto the bottom section. Just a thought.

No, not at all. The lid fits perfectly. They have the lid at a strange position in the picture, but it does fit well.

Yeah, we had that same issue. We tried several different approaches and currently have it 'curled' in the opposite direction and have a large rubber band holding it. Hopefully this will finally make the large lid useful.

Ditto Gene Giddings' response. I bought this container from Amazon because I could not find this size locally. Am very satisfied with the fit of this lid - no spills or messes. The container holds up well to travel in a cooler, or to heat leftovers in the microwave.

Not sure what does not fit but if the lids do not have a round handle it might be difficult to get lids to fit. And might require a custom bend if they are extra thick lids. Start from smallest to largest or largest lid to smallest lid. If all the lids are the same size and larger they may not fit.

Tight-fitting lid = -0- access and -0- breeding....just make sure it is well-sealed. Ours certainly is a tight fit and no accidental shift possible if you've put it on per manufacturer's instructions.

We have not had a problem with the lid. This is our second one, the first we had over 6 years and just wanted an 'upgrade' with the basket style. Perhaps the inserted basket to catch the fall off is not properly installed. If the lid is not closing, that sounds like a manufacturing defect and possibly could be contained to only a few units. We like it because of the large capacity and overall functions. I shopped for a capable product and ended up with T-Fal again. For us, it by far is the best buy for what we use it for. Good Luck

If you look closely the lid has a small protrusion if you put that in first you shouldn't have any trouble. We have been using using ours for about three weeks and have not had any trouble with the lid.

Since the lid meets the bottom edge but does not actually seal, probably not.

I was fortunate that the lids on my set did fit well from the start. But I tend to misplace them. A good substitute is the lid from a can of coffee (most brands, maybe not all).

The containers have measurements impressed in their bottoms. When the lids are sold separately, they have dimensions on the sales labelling. Or send emails to the manufacturers. I find that lids sometimes don't fit. Have you done a Google search?

The inside diameter is actually 12-5/8" This makes it very hard to find any other-brand lid that actually fits.12 and 13" lids will not fit. So when my lid broke, and All-Clad basically told me "tough" when I tried to buy a lid from them,that left me with no lid. I got some other brand lid, but it doesn't fit and slides around on the top.
