Does the lid closes tight on top of container using twist lock? I got the product and it does lock but not tight enough to prevent steam come out from sides..

Wish I could help, but we bought this for a baby gift and baby not born yet.

My container locks but not tight. There is a steam release vent on top if you do not want the steam to come out the side of the container. Steam should come out the side if the vent on the top is closed if it didn't you would create pressurized vessel and it could cause injury. I wait a few minutes after sterilizing my bottles to remove it from the microwave so it isn't steaming hot.

It closes tight enough as far as I am concerned. The steam that comes from the container is enough to cause serious burns. If it were not for the fact that some steam escapes, the container would be too hot. The small valve that you are to push once you pull it from the microwave helps to deter the level of steam that comes out, as a release. In addition, the extra steam that emits from the sides just makes it safer. I hope this makes sense. I hope this helps. Good luck. TC

Not sure I fully understand the issue you are having? My pan lays flat (bottom of pan) and the top fits fairly well, but doesn't completely seal tight. I have a small gap in between the top lip of the pan and the top, but it doesn't negatively affect the cooking capability as the top also has a hole in it to release steam and thus it's not an air tight seal. I hope this helps.

It has a twist lid. I have had this now for several months and it has never leaked.

No the lid does not fit tightly at all -and the picture shows three but when ordered you receive one.i purchased three and own four.i found if you put plastic suran wrap between jar and lid it keeps things fresh, I store my brown sugars in it that way works and there is no clumping or hardening so far and its been weeks.hope this helps until anchor hocking fixes the problem.

when you hold it open for a while, specially of it fold it all the way back, it won't align completely when you close it, but it only only takes a few seconds to stretch it and close it so it aligns again. it's a minor issue with me because like I said I just push the lid from the area where it folds towards the front, a couple of pushes and it's back to closing perfectly, I can imagine with time I won't have to do it anymore.

In my view, there are only two reasons for steam coming from the lid - (a) the lid might be ajar or (b) the lid is misshapen. I've put mine away in a cupboard and have gone back to my electric kettle.

Mine stayed closed so well I had to loosen it a bit so I could flip it open easier. You should have no problems. (:

It sort of locks on. You can see that one end of the lid has a tab. You hook the other end first onto pan and then the tab end clicks on. It is airtight enough to keep a pan of brownies moist for a few days at least (as long as they lasted :)!) But it would not be totally liquid tight if you tilted it and had sauce or something in there. The lid definitely stays on well enough to stay put for transport.

A little tricky but if you carefully line up the metal tabs it will close properly. No trouble opening it though - just remember to let all the steam build up dissipate before even trying to open. Run cold water over the top will do the trick. Happy pressuring!

YES, I CALLED !!! Place 2 of the flat lids on till sealed then remove the top one and you will have a tight seal. I wanted it for that reason, and was down to the last ok to buy it She I saw your question and the answers you were getting. I STOPPED RIGHT THERE, AND CALLED. I have bought mine.

It does lock on pretty tight but I found that if you twist counter clockwise it will release easily. Once you get it down it will be easier it took me a little time to figure it out too.

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 really "lock" open. One just needs to pull the lid down to close it.

It seems to seal tight on the one I got but it has it's own casing that u can remove and place in its own compartment inside the container ... Hope this helps :)

Hi Susie, No, and that is the problem with this one that I bought. After about 6 weeks, I did have to hold on to the button that is 3/4 down to keep the steam going. Prior to that, the steam came out on its' own. Very comfortable on my back, and the triangular shape gets into corners nicely.

There is a soft rubber seal around the lid which if tightened ought to prevent moisture getting in/out. I have not tested this however, it is just m impression from inspecting the container.

Yes. There are holes on 2 sides of the lid, one side has smaller holes the the other. Turning the lid will keep most of the steam from escaping.
