Crockpot lid does not fit correctly. I have read from previous reviews that the manufacturer has said it is designed that way. I have to disagree. I have 3 other crockpots that the lids fit very well and have no gaps at all. One of them even has a rubber seal on the lid. How do I get a proper fitting lid?
I would recommend this to a friend!

I was so excited about my crockpot. I take it out of box and put the lid on it and the lid doesn’t fit the crockpot. I have huge gaps on the side and it doesn’t lay flat on the crockpot. Im disappointed that the crockpot doesn't keep the heat inside because it’s not sealing. My crockpot is damaged and thats very disappointing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your review. Newer model Crock-Pot® slow cookers are designed with a small gap, approximately 1/4", between the lid and the stoneware. This gap prevents pressure due to steam build-up that can cause the lid to crack or shatter. If the lid were to form a perfect seal around the stoneware, the unit will operate like a pressure cooker rather than a slow cooker. Have a nice day!
