I've been having a problem where oil collects in &amp; then drips off the edge of my current 13in screen when used on a 10in pan. Does this one do that?

Hi there! I tend to slow simmer things for hours and have never had a problem with anything dripping off of it. I LOVE this thing. It is my favorite kitchen tool. :D

The only time it drips down the side is when I'm filling it and I miss. As far as the oil, no it usually hesitates before it starts to pour. The vinegar comes out at a decent speed and I've yet to have it come out so fast I drench my salad. I've had this almost a year.

Its been a bit since I got the pan but now that I think about it there is a ledge inside the pan that supports the filter. I did replace the filter but it was the same as the old one. This is a great pan, get a trans-oil temp gauge installed before you change the pan and youll see the temp. diff.

This is a good pan, it worked well for over 4 years for me. In the beginning, i have not used any oil at all. We should not spread crepes to the edges of the pan. If any oil is accumulated at the edges, if we clean it right away with a paper towel or kitchen towel, it works for even more number of years. The pan has very thin bottom, so we must use only medium to low heat.

I had the same problem and I don't know if it was a coincidence or not but after I gave it a good cleaning it stopped. Now maybe you can tell me how to stop it from leaking? It constantly drips and if I don't forget to watch it I end up with water all over my counter.

Your pan should be less than 10 inches max. Mine was 13 inches so the sides just flopped down for me.

I haven't had any issues with juices spilling over. I have had issue with it smoking, however ... to the point where my smoke detectors go off. I'm fairly certain it's because of the oil I use to keep it from rusting after washing it but not sure how to avoid that. All in all, it's fine but with it being double-sided probably not the best choice for indoor cooking IMO. I wish I would have thought about that before purchasing but c'est la vie.

I use EVOO in mine and don't have the same issue. You can pump that thing really hard without having to worry about damaging it. Pump until it won't pump anymore and try a different oil maybe.

I have installed several of these in both cast aluminum and steel drain pans. There is a term called "snug" which applies. Tighten it firmly, but not too tight. The worst that will happen if it is not tight enough is a leak. Then you tighten it just a hair more. If you overtighten it, you could strip something - although not likely. The supplied washer works fine. I have never had a leak! Enjoy the valve. It makes oil changes a breeze.

Did you follow the instructions to clear the lines before installing the cartridge. Sometime a bit of mineral buildup in the lines can cause the unit not to seat properly. I did not have any problems with dripping on mine, it works just fine to this day. You may be able to redo the procedure from the step before inserting the main control cartridge making sure there is nothing getting caught up in the shutoff area of the cartridge.

I think it depends entirely upon your oil's (quality), and your personal preference. Personally, just a drop/two, due to the oil flowing from the dispenser lid works wonders for me! =)

I use only an occasional coating of canola oil and have not had the problem. Since one can damage the non-stick coating either mechanically or chemically, I would suggest that you contact Krups and ask them. Try http://krups.custhelp.com/app/ask. I am sure you are not the first person with this problem.

I did not have this trouble but mine was delivered in the upright position. I suggest you clean it carefully and check the oil level and add some if too low. Then check for leaks both before and after running it, Bill M.

I LOVE the screen!! I have a 14" pan and it is great with it. I like it not fitting exactly on the rim, the extra inch keeps it more stable. It is very easy to clean.

I've not had that problem with this stainless steel steamer. With an older aluminum one, I found that if I rotated the pans I would get a better seal and the steam would stay inside, where it really needs to be. I'd contact the manufacturer (you've probably already done this) since the fit must be defective. Also, there are several canning sites--one in Georgia, one with Oregon State University and another through Utah State University Extension that may have some advice for you. You could create a better seal with some kind of a rubber ring, but that would be a bothersome fix.

We have not had any problems with dripping anywhere. The handle has gotten wobbly a couple of times and we tightened the screw on the handle which fixed it. Sorry this isn't much help

Yes. I'm using a Lodge 10" skillet. The screen's diameter extends well over the edges.
