Does the lid fit snuggly with no openings? Just received mine in the mail and on each side there is a gap between the pan and the lid.

My lid does ft. It isn't a tight snug fit but fits on the pot a little bit loose. Just simply sets on the pot. However, although it is t a snug fit I do not have gaps not can I see light between the lid and the pot all the way around but I can move the lid a little while sitting on it. This is one of several west bend cookers I have purchased, first with the digital display, and I absolutely love them. Hope this helps.

I have never had that happen. I would send it back, as you need a tight fit. Have a great day

That's what I thought too!!! I didn't have any steam coming out when I was using it... So I assumed it was okay! It cooks fabulous. Each time I use it I wash it and then take a couple of drops of oil on s paper towel and wipe it out. Nothing has stuck yet!! Just made split pea and ham soup!!

There is a bit of wiggle room, but when used it has had no gaps for steam to come out until I lifted the lid. I assume if it was full enough and heated to boiling, it could leak. I have not used the grill as a grill and only made soup, meat and a few other things since I bought it -- not used every week.

The pan/lid fits snugly, but it is a *friction* fit. I don't go around turning mine upside down a whole lot. Also, just about the only time I have my lid in place is when I'm about to put it in the included stuff sack (which fits around the whole setup *very* snugly). With the drawstring on the stuff sack pulled tight, I'm supremely confident that everything will stay in place. Hope this helps. I don't use the pan portion of this unit very often, but the 1100ml pot is very nice and I use it a lot.

I just got this machine as a gift. I thought the pan seemed to sit a little loose in the enclosure, so I tried adjusting the fit by bending the fittings on the sides of the pan up a bit. Then the fit was too tight. I bent them down just a little and now the fit seems about right. It doesn't take much pressure to bend the fittings, I did it using just my hands. It only takes a little bit of bending to make a big difference in the fit. So for people who are having trouble removing the pan, I'd suggest bending the fittings down just a little.

If you look closely at the image Amazon posted, it gives a true picture of what you receive - so no worries there. The stock pot, the sauté pan, and the two sauce pans all have glass lids; the two frying pans do *not*. However, if needs be, the lid of the large sauce pan will fit the smaller frying pan; and the lid of the sauté pan will do well enough for the large frying pan (the lid sits nicely just a bit below the edge of the frying pan). None of the lids have vent holes, but they still sit securely if you want to shift the lid slightly for venting. Hope that helps. It's a very good set and I like it a lot.

Douglas, the way mine fits is lip on the top goes around (over) the lip on the bottom piece. To bake properly I would think you wouldn't want any gaps which would allow the moisture to escape.

Yes the lids fit the pans very nicely. I love this set. It cleans easily, cooks evenly. Great deal

Hi Judith. The insert fits beautifully in the pan. It's loose enough to be easily removed, but snug enough to not slide around. The pan is extremely well designed. Hope that helps.

The lid doesn't feel as if it is tight, but it is as it cooks really good. My insert doesn't move around a lot, si m not sure what is going on with yours. Hopefully someone else can answer this. I am sorry I can not be any more helpful. I am happy with mine and I would recommend it.

I had same problem. I thought it was a defect since space between lid and container would mean that it would not close like a tight seal. I returned this product because of this reason.

Put a bit of olive oil on the sliding edges. It's normal to need a stronger push to fully close the lid, but, if closing it isn't possible at all, then return the pan. It might be bent.

I have to use a rubber jar opener to get a tight fit. I've also had to replace that lid a couple times. The rubber gasket gets loose. Good luck!

It does not.While cooking you can open either one side or the other without removing the lid but it doesn't lock in place. Good idea though!

My lid does not fit tight but it has not affected the cooking process. I steam a variety of vegetables in it every day and it works quickly and great!

The edge of the lid is smooth and it has not scratched the pan. Unfortunately, the lids are much better than the Ozeri pans, IMO.

Yes, if you look closely, you can see a small seam on the stainless steel rim of the glass lids. It is smooth, and not obvious or objectionable. The cookware cooks great and clean up is very easy.

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..

Mine was like that also but frankly it didn't seem to matter. The lip of the top should at least have some overhang on the bottom. My top and bottom did not fit snugly. The bread come out great anyway. I do wish it was glazed inside but other than that it has worked fine. If it is a gap that you can actually see in the side though then it isn't right and I would send it back. Hope this helps.
