I love this lid but the top of the screw on the underneath side of the lid looks like it may be hard to keep clean. Have you had any problems with it?

I just put it in the dishwasher occasionally and it is fine. We love the pan.

No problems. I love this lid. I bought 2. It been about 6 months. Easy to clean.

I haven't had any problems with cleaning it. I use it daily and it's spotless.
1419215
I haven't had any problems with it at all. If I did, I'd just take a vegetable brush and clean it.

I just use a little brush with hot water and soap to keep those kinds of hard to clean places on my cookware.

Not that I have experienced as the lid is separated on the side not on the top

I purchased new ones for personal use as well as buying some for gifts. Though the lid screws on, it is with difficulty, and takes many attempts to secure the lid.I have some that are over twenty years old, and the lid screws on in one try.

Yes -- this is a real problem with this lid. Every once in a while I have to wait to have one of my sons get it off for me (it can take brute force).

I've dropped mine several times and so far no cracks although I wouldn't recommend making a habit of dropping it. : ) As far as cleaning goes, I run the bottom portion through the dishwasher but clean the top two pieces by hand to keep the seals working properly. If you rinse it after each use, cleaning is a breeze.

I've put it in the dishwasher a few times and it's been fine, except that the ring seal in the lid came off. But I wouldn't put it in often as I think the pattern might fade off eventually. That's happened to my other thermoses (thermi??!) and this is really sweet so I want to keep it looking nice!

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??

Snap. We have no problem with the lid coming off. But we also gave others that screw on.

I have had mine for a few years now and through some HOT summers. The red top still looks exactly the same as when I bought it. The red lid is great and even has the nectar "recipe" molded into it so you never have to worry about forgetting the ratio. I was stupid and cleaned the clear plastic bottom bowl with a dish sponge that had some abrasiveness to it, so it's a bit cloudy now. So make sure you only use a cloth or something soft to wipe it out.

I didn't have that problem. Mine has held up fine, just a little patina on the hinge. I live in a very dry area, if that might make a difference.

I haven't had that problem...quite the opposite. The lid was on so tight I had trouble getting it off.

I've not had an issue with cleaning it. Periodically I put it in the dishwasher on the top rack. I'm lucky enough to have one of those adjustable top racks.

Good Question. It is NOT a threaded screw-on lid so the whole metal top does occasionally come off when I try to pull the plastic lid cover off.

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 just keep mine in a very clean glass jar with a tight lid and have not had any problems!

I have had no problems. I actually don't really use it since I think it's difficult to clean and seems like it doesn't do too much.

I didn't have a problem with the main handle, but my first package did not come for with a screw for the lid. I think quality may be inconsistent, send it back! I am thoroughly enjoying the second one that arrived. Follow the seasoning directions...so important!!
