I forgot to ask before. My previous slow cooker collected water around the lid from the heat & this made the lid rattle. Does this one do that?

Mine does. I think I must be the only one. It doesn't rattle but water collects in a little hole under the lid handle. Every time I clean it, I have to unscrew the handle to remove the water. I had to order a replacement lid. Hope this one is not defective.

It does not. There is a rubber seal around the edge of the lid. Hope this helps!

No, at least mine doesn't. The lid actually has rubber around it so it sits nicely on the crock pot and probably keeps that from happening.

It doesn't rattle. But I've found water will collect there after condensing on the lid. If you're using a crockpot liner, then this can allow for some seepage under the seal. Occasionally, using a liner and simmering bone broth for more than a day, I will find a puddle of water dripping from the liner in the morning. I usually turn my liners up, back over the lid, to avoid this.

The lid does not rattle. It has a rubber gromet around it that keeps it snug.

The 1st time I used it I got it to shut, but haven't been able to get it to shut again. I found that I wasn't shutting the lid down completely. After I realized what I was doing wrong, it works GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you putting the water amount according to the manual than you doing everything OK. In this case something is wrong with the cooker. I am so far very happy with this unit. Thanks. Lou.

no, but some steam comes out of the top. if your cooker is spitting water maybe you left the inner lid off (there is a removable inside bowl and lid)

Sometimes, there is a little water or steam leakage, from around the bottom rim near the handle, when the pressure is building up.Before cooking,take a little food oil (olive ,vegetable,etc.) & grease the gasket around the rim. This helps to make the seal last longer & keep the seal between the lid ,gasket , & the bottom cooker.If a lot of water is coming out when the cooker is getting up to pressure , turn off the heat,let the pressure drop, & check the gaskets position. I have been using a pressure cooker for over 25 years, & have not had a bad incident ,yet .

I got this cooker a few years already and this happened to me sometimes. What I do is make sure the yellow button is not up and open the lid. I take and gasket out and reapply it again and put the lid back. It works. I guess somehow when I put the lid on the gasket doesn't fit tight enough so air and steam leak out and takes a long long time to build up the pressure. Good luck!

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

No, but Hamilton beach sells a cord lid latch for $7.99 that they use with several of their slow cookers. It is used on model 33565, which appears to be the same size as this model.

yes mine did that for a short while then it didn't do it any more. It's perfect now! I'd say it was rattling for about the first 15 - 20 uses.

It's not. Slow cookers are highly insulated and this is thin metal. It's a speed cooker, if anything.

I have no problems at all putting the lid on when the cooker is cold. Sometimes, when the food is hot, I have to fiddle with the lid a little to get it to reseal. The lid rotates onto a hinge to open it. I use my cooker all the time anfd love it!

No it does not. If you leave it and forget it, it will continue to heat the crap out of whatever you have in there, at whatever setting you have it on. So just make sure you time yourself. It's great though. We make everything in it. Just turn it on low, that's why it's a slow cooker. it's fine.

I use mine as a slow cooker most of the time, and it works wonderfully. In fact, my slow cooker recipes come out better in the Ninja than my old crock pot. The little hold does not seem to effect the cooking at all.

Sorry, wish I could be more help. Mine was an older model as well and it was trial & error. I did find that as long as you go with the same brand as your cooker, odds are you'll get a seal if it fits the lid. Be sure to take gasket out when not in use and store separate from lid

mine seals very well, i can shake it up before i open it with no problem. I only put cold stuff in it so no idea how it does with warm/hot liquids. I never put the lid in the dishwasher.

Once in awhile that happens to me. Usually doesn't persist when I lay my hand (w/pot mitt) on lid. Spring mechanism is sensitive to humidity I think. I have two of these rice cookers. When one has problems. I just switch to my alternate appliance. The next day...the fickle one is usually fine�

You're probably just not pushing the lid down all the way when you start the cooking cycle. If you're pressure cooking, you have to push down on the lid kind of hard to get the seal. I underestimated it myself the first time I tried and so it was also just sitting on warm till I checked it again. Now I know that when the lid is really locked, you hear the pressure build upon the cooker at the beginning.
