Is the lid supposed. To fit tight?

No. Mine does just fine as it is letting some air escape on the top. I even poach fish in it.

My lid does not fit tight but it has not affected the cooking process. I steam a variety of vegetables in it every day and it works quickly and great!

I have this steamer. I do not believe the lid is supposed to fit tight. Even with the built in vent, the steam might cause the unit to built too much pressure and explode............but that's only my opinion.

The lid should at least sit well. Most microwave oven has a lazy susan that turns around to get the food heated evenly. This product the lid slides off. This seems to be a manufacturing defect. I have bought a similar product before hence, and my old one still works fine.

Not that I've seen. Honestly I'm not impressed with the lid. It's not tight fitting at all.

Unfortunately I had to return mine because I purchased the wrong size however I purchased a similar one from them and yes the lids do seal tightly.

The lid I bought does fit, but it does have to be pushed a bit to make it do so. Hope this answer is o.k. for you

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.

No the lid is not tight. It's not meant to stop spills but to keep the heat locked in so it can brew faster. If someone hit it, it will fall and probably break.

It doesn't have any plastic casket to make it fit tight, instead it has an indent on one side of pot and 2 tabs on lid that fit in the indent and a small turn of the lid. I have my kettle for a while now, and I have no problem with the lid. It's like the old fashioned Tea Pot lids.

No, the lid dose not fit tight however they're nice. I brought 4. 3 medium for candy looks really cute on the kitchen counter and a large for cookies which stays fresh a week max... I'll probably try the plastic wrap. I hope this was helpful.

I only got the two cup version of this and the lid doesn't fit perfectly but is still usable as intended because with a bit of pressure the lid is very secure and performs fine. Not a perfect fit but I would rather have it a bit too big as it is instead of too small! It is more secure this way. So hope this may help

No, the lid was nice and tight. The only problem I had was rusting, which led to a stovetop full of water one morning. We had the pot for less than two weeks.

Yes, I think the "stopper" type lid has a bit of plastic inside to help give it a tight seal.

This is not typical. I have 3 of these and the lid closes very tightly. The plastic snap on cap snaps down hard and tight! So tight that it can be hard to open the white snap cap. As far as the entire "lid" it screw on very tightly as well, no leaks! I would send it back. I can close mine and shake and its very secure!

The lid will fit on ok without he second tier, but it is a little loose. The box comes with an elastic band to hold it closed, but it is not watertight on the outside box.

in my opinion it does have a tight lid but I wouldn't trust it enough to say watertight.

Mine was not tight. Been using it multiple times daily have not had a problem in over a year. Good luck -I love it.

Yes, it's not a great fit, but it functions well. I don't know of a lid that would fit better.

Yes, the lid does snap securely on and the edges are not sharp. Hope this helps!
