How do you get the lid off? I have been given a steamed pudding in this bowl but cannot remove the lid.

To the left of one of the handles there is a triangular raised mark (about 1/8" in size). On the lid there are dimples in the outer side of the rim, two in one location and one on a location diametrically opposite the first two. To either side of the one lone dimple, there is a small hole through the rim. Rotate the lid relative to the bowl such that the lone dimple is aligned with the triangular mark. Then pull the lid directly off of the bowl without further rotation(s).

I sort of wrap my arm around it and pry it off with my hand. It works that way with and without pot holders.

There are 3 dots on one side of the lid. Line up the middle dot with the small arrow that's on the pot near the handle. Lift lid away from you. To reseal the lid, line up the dot with the arrow, put the opposite side on first and then lower lid. You will notice that there is a small indentation on the pot just above the arrow.

You have to turn the lid; there are two small raised dots, and they have to be lined up; however you have to do it by feel, as there are no markings to let you know when you have succeeded.

The lid getting sucked into the bowl has never happened to me. There is a vent at the top of the lid. I pop it open every time I put the steamer into the microwave in order to equalize the pressure inside the steamer.

You need to twist it off. it is kind of tricky, but just be patient and hold the bottom part and twist the lid. if you look at the lid, you can see there is a part that locks on the bottom part.

I haven't see the lid by itself, but I have a feeling that if someone would contact Nordic Ware directly, I bet they could help you with a new lid. I have had great success with going direct to handle a problem. Give it a try and good luck!

Snap the two pieces together and then just put them on top of the pot with no lid. This allows steam to escape without running your food over onto the stove.

My guess is during the cooking process, the heat was set higher then the lid was placed on and the temp reduced. That will create a vacuum (same thing happens with other 360 cookware if you leave the lid on and turn heat off). Simple fix! Turn the heat up a bit and in a minute the lid comes right off - no probs!

I did not get a new lid. I just threw mine away and kept the bottom bowl only. I would contact Nordic Ware. I am sure they could help you.

It's amazing you asked this question: the lid's corners broke off after the frst use! I brought a cornbread to a meeting and after I got it home noticed the crumbled catches... I thought, "Dang, someone opened it wrong!" But then again, how does one improperly open a lid? Good question. Pass on this unless you're extremely cautious when removing the lid... don't let someone else open it. If you write to me at musing1 at verizon dot net I'll send you a photo.

I put my lid in the microwave and boiled the water off. That is the reason I gave this device a one * rating. Impossible to clean the lid!

I've never tried to take the lid off, but it has never accidentally come off.Wind is definitely an issue. You need to either set up a wind screen by the stove, or set up the stove in an area sheltered from the wind. I reccomend buying one that has the side screens built in.

The bowl and lid are not seated properly. This is for your protection. If the lid is not on properly you could cut yourself. First place the bowl on the machine without the lid. Turn it until it snaps into place. then put just the lid on (minus the inserts) and turn until the lid is properly snapped on the bowl. Then put the insert with the silver stick on it into the bowl. Now switch the machine on. It should work now. Please let me know how you make out. If you have trouble doing this, you can go to your nearby Williams-Sonoma. They can show you how.

Were you ever able to get the lid off? I had to throw mine out (don't know what brand) and I am looking for one that will not have that problem. NB

Let the pressure down according to the recipe, either letting it sit or running a drizzle of cold water on the still sealed lid. I carefully test the 'jiggler' to see if ALL the pressure is out. When it is, just twist the top handle and carefully remove it.

There is a tool that comes with it that you use to take the lid off. Although, it says not to use the tool to tighten it, only tighten with your hands. It gets tighter as the ice cream is being made.

My suggestion is that you check the seal on the lid and make sure that you are seating and locking the lid on properly. As far as the steam making a mess---you are probably not letting the pot cool down enough before you release the pressure. Please, read the book!

Lift the lid handle up and then pull STRAIGHT up. You need to hold onto the handle of the blender w/one hand and pull the lid off w/the other, once you figure it out, it won't be difficult. I was rocking it off, which is hard to do, but my husband showed me how to just pull it off and voila! It's just that first time, lol!

I also received mine and I had the same problem, unable to remove the pan. I need to wash it before I start use it.
