The reviews on the 8qt contemporary stainless note flaw(s) wi the lid- sputtering hot liquid and exploding. Any issues with this lid?

We own this piece and have all calphalon in our kitchen. I wouldn't say there is any flaw, just science. Hot, trapped liquid makes stream and it will always escape some if enough pressure builds up. We have no issues with the 8qt, frying pans, or any of the pieces with these lids.

I've only used mine a limited number of times and have not experienced what you describe.

I haven't encountered this problem. Every time I've used this there has been no lid sputtering and definitely no explosion.

Did you put the fine film of oil on the lid? I originally missed that on my AA. I have only gotten a slight steam leak once or twice, but it seemed to stop when I got up to pressure. Sorry I can't help more.

I have used mine for many-many times. I have never, at any time, had a problem with the magnetic lid. in fact, all of my products for the kitchen have never failed me. Hamilton beach products are my favorite because they all work like described.

I ordered mine a couple months ago. I have had no problems and love it. It makes wonderful coffee. The porcelain is fine on both pieces. The lid is perfectly fine and the safety nubs hold it nicely when tipped...if you turn them so they aren't aligned with the spots used to insert the lid into the pot. I am just waiting for amazon to carry it again so I can order s backup. Don't want to pay the shipping from the other supplier. Hope you enjoy as much as I do if you order!

I've had no problems like this. It seems there may be something else going on with yours. Was anything spilled on it?

I've had 2 of these. My newest one, the lid is definitely tighter, but still a one handed operation. If it doesn't get easier quickly, I'd get a different one. Is the seal glued on properly? Maybe it slipped??

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

It wasn't the case for me. I mean the lid cost like 5 bucks at the time I bought it. If it did leak a little.. what do you expect. I have enjoyed mine since I got it. I have chopped up pepper/vinegar sauce that I use my lid with. Just buy one and find out. If you are wrong it cost you 5 bucks. You will live.

I'm sorry to hear that! I haven't had any problems with mine at all! I use it daily and it's just as good today as the day I got it!

The lid on mine is wobbly, too. Every Crock Pot I've had (and I got my first one back in the early 1960's) has had a wobbly lid. It's designed that way to allow some steam to come out and keep the lid from popping off like a pressure cooker would. This one may be a bit more wobbly than some others, but it works just fine. I have dinner cooking in mine right now, and I can guarantee it'll be ready when I want it -- and delicious! :)

I have been using the teapot regularly on my gas stove-top over medium heat for several months without incident. I also wash it in the dishwasher. I've banged it against things on accident and the lid has fallen off while pouring - and it has not cracked.

Sorry to hear about that, R. But it could be okay still. My pot has discolored also, and has what looks like bubbles in the finish on the inside bottom. It hasn't effected performance or taste. I would just clean it out good and try it...I'm sure you have by now. Let us know how it went.

No mess on the sides of the pan. The lid has ridges that allow for steam/juices/condensate to drip inside the pan. I've used the lid on an 8", a 10", and a 12" pan, with no problems.

GREAT CROCKPOT......No problem with the lid or fit of lid, mine is the same way, but has no effect on performance!!!!!

I have a problem with the lid sometimes too. I noticed when I leave the top flap open also when I screw the lid on it doesn't give me that problem as well.

I have an earlier model with the same cover. I've dropped it several time while it was filled. Usually the lid stays on. +1 for a tight lid!

I love the one I got..the lid fit's well..not very snug but good...have used it a few time's and all the food came out perfect..I would send it back if it's not cooking well..
