Can you lock the pot so it won't spill during transport

There is no liquid tight feature on this unit, but the contents are essentially double contained. If you keep the pot from tipping over spilling is not a big concern. I've used it to transport soups, so far no problem.

It "locks" but it is not a tight seal; if it tips far enough the content will spill.

The pot locks with a simple catch you would need to be careful if travelling. Not really intended for that purpose. If upright it could be ok but have not tried.Tilting etc could cause spilling.

There is a cover for inner pot, and outside will click to seal the pot. However, I don't think it will to tight enough for anti-spill. Need to becareful for transportation.

No, it is not leak proof. You do have to keep it level. I have transported soup with good results; but, I've also had a few spills. The spills did not make a mess in the car, they were contained by the outer insulator and wasn't a big deal to clean up. The spills happened going up and down steep driveways. Now I just hold the pot by the handle in the driveway and I'm all good.

I haven't used it for transporting liquids, but it does seem airtight. That being said, it is not that firm, so the lid may pop open if the dish is too full.

No - nothing exposed inside. Just straight, good steel. The handles seem to be attached with 10 small rivets on the outside. I've filled it with water and felt little or no give when lifting the pot.

Yes. It has a removable, high-temp silicon sealing ring that should be very lightly lubricated with any of the various available vegetable oils before each use. About 4 or 5 drops lightly spread on the ring with your fingers should be enough. Lightly oiling the ring aids in seating and removing the lid when you lock and unlock it from the body of the pot; it allows both the pot and lid to rotate smoothly on the ring with little effort and no sticking. Besides providing an air-tight seal between the lid and the pot when locked, the ring also performs the secondary duty of high-limit pressure safety and is replaceable. Yes.

The instructions say you should lock it down, which I found odd. If you don't latch it, the lid can rise a bit.

It doesn't have good seal on the lid when you are cooking. If you have liquid inside the pot, it will come out while traveling. I used it to cook bone soup for my dogs and water is flying all over my counter and even inside the stainless tub. I bought it because it's cheap.

No, it cannot. You have to hold the lever down to keep the spout open. We are actually going to return this tea pot because it's already developing rust spots. we have had it for only a month and towel dry after each use as suggested by the manufacturer.

There is something to keep it from sliding but it is easily knocked off. However you are pouring boiling watr over the thing; better be careful and not moving it around.

Yes, the lid has a tab to the rear to secure it during pouring. It won;t fall off as you pour.Unfortunately, the lid does occasionally get wedged, at least with my pot, perhaps because the lid is slightly oval, so the fit is a little tight; it can be difficult at times to move the lid and take it off. This might not be true of every pot - it could be an aberration, rather than a feature.

QVC's webpage doesn't show this item, so I can't compare it. A locking lid would make it different from the one sold on Amazon. However, the lid fits well with its rim that slides into the pot, so I personally wouldn't "need" the locking lid.

No, the lid isn't locked if you don't pushing the pedal. I would say that it is NOT pet proof. If it tips over the lid will swing open. It doesn't take much effort to open the lid.

no. The lid fits very loose so that it is easy to serve. I used cling wrap and a rubber band on the pot itself then set it in the black pot. I then put the lid on. It did keep the soup from spilling out. I hope that helps.I love the soup Kettle and would buy it again. But it is not for travel for sure.

The lid snaps on securely but when tested with water, it does run out of the handle area. This isn't a problem since I only use this dish to transport cooked casseroles and the dish sits snugly in the carrying case. You would need a lot if liquid in your dish and tip it quite a bit to loose any liquid contents.

The squeeze handle does not have a lock function. The pot filler arm is the best option for continuous flow.

I do not think it is leak proof because there is no locking mechanism for the inner pot lid, and the outer pot lid is not locked if you carry the handle. Sauces and soup will drip if the pot is tilted.
