I just had a customer call me to let me know that her micro cooker isnt staying closed. She said that its closing, but when she goes to lift it, the lid pops off. I have not seen one up close and personal and I dont really know how they work, is there a tip I could let her know before I call HO and get it replaced? Any help would be great! Thanks!
 
One of the first ones I received had bent clasps on the lid. If you push them back into place it should work. Otherwise I would do an adjustment for a new one.
 
The lids on the Micro-cookers don't just pop on and off, and that can be confusing. Make sure she's setting the lid down and turning it. I can't remember if the micro-cookers come with use and care cards, but they do exist online (on CC), and the online ones have pictures of how to close them.

I agree with Ann. It sounds like she isn't putting it on properly to begin with. I had that trouble when I first bought mine. I thought you snapped it on. You actually lay it on top a bit off center and then twist it to lock the lid on. I have never had trouble with my lids once I figured out how they go on.
 
Hi there! Thank you for reaching out about the issue with your micro cooker. I'm sorry to hear that it's not staying closed for you. I have a few tips that may help before you call HO for a replacement.First, make sure that the lid is properly aligned with the cooker base. It should sit flush and evenly on top.Next, try gently pressing down on the lid while lifting it to see if that helps it stay closed.If those tips don't work, there may be an issue with the locking mechanism. In that case, I would suggest contacting HO for a replacement.I hope this helps and that you're able to get your micro cooker working properly. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. Happy cooking!
 

1. Why won't my Micro Cooker close properly?

There could be a few reasons why your Micro Cooker is not closing properly. One common issue is that food particles or residue may be stuck in the grooves of the lid or on the rim of the base, preventing the lid from closing tightly. Another possibility is that the silicone seal on the lid may be worn out and needs to be replaced.

2. How do I clean my Micro Cooker to ensure it closes properly?

To clean your Micro Cooker, simply remove the silicone seal from the lid and wash it with warm soapy water. Use a small brush or toothpick to remove any food particles from the grooves on the lid or the rim of the base. Rinse and dry thoroughly before reassembling the lid. You can also place the Micro Cooker in the top rack of your dishwasher for easy cleaning.

3. Can I use my Micro Cooker if the lid doesn't close tightly?

No, it is not recommended to use the Micro Cooker if the lid is not closing properly. This can affect the cooking time and may cause spills or splatters in the microwave. It is important to ensure a tight seal for proper cooking and to prevent any accidents.

4. What should I do if the silicone seal on my Micro Cooker is damaged?

If the silicone seal on your Micro Cooker is damaged or worn out, it can be easily replaced. You can purchase a new seal from Pampered Chef or contact our customer service for assistance. Make sure to specify the size of your Micro Cooker lid to ensure you receive the correct replacement seal.

5. How do I know if my Micro Cooker is closing properly?

You can check if your Micro Cooker is closing properly by performing a simple water test. Fill the base with water, place the lid on top, and press down firmly. If the lid is properly sealed, you should not see any leaks or feel any air escaping. If there are leaks or air escaping, make sure to clean the lid and base thoroughly and check the silicone seal for any damage.
