A guest just received her DCB and she said that the lid doesn't sit flush and rocks around on the base. I haven't noticed mine doing that and was wondering if anyone else has had this problem? I've already had 4 damaged items from this order :( (not the one guest, the total show!)
 
I have not noticed that with mine or any others I have seen. I would call the company ASAP and let them know. That could be dangerous getting it in and out of the microwave hot.
 
I have had a few ordered lately and they all have done this - some worse than others. I think they are making them differently than the originals because my old one broke and I got a new one and it looks bigger and the top slightly shifts. But if it moves around enough to make the guest uncomfortable or unhappy with it, adjust it. I had a guest who could push the lid to one side of the baker and see all the way to the bottom of it!

My lid is small, too, but it doesn't affect the efficiency of the DCB, and I use it ALOT!! (actually thinking of buying a second one)
 
mine rocks a little.. but not enough to worry about..
 
Mine rocks about a bit, but I can tell you, it's still holding in all the steam--I got burned last night when I didn't open it "carefully and away from yourself".

I'm going to go look at it Saturday and then maybe call HO. Why would they change something that is perfect in the first place :) Thanks for your input!
 
I had a guest order one (my aunt) and her lid fit so poorly that when she made the Grilled Chicken Penne al Fresco the exploding tomatoes got all over the inside of her microwave! I did an adjustment (in the first 30 days) and they sent a new one directly to her - no return (or piece) necessary!
 
This happen to me the other week. Lid did not fit and would rock. I contacted PC - and they sent one out the next day! I think this must be a new but common issue. They must have had a bad batch of lids.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the lid of my Deep Covered Baker not fitting properly?

The lid may not fit properly due to misalignment or if the baker is not placed on a flat surface. Ensure that the lid is aligned correctly with the base and that the surface you are using is even.

Can I use the Deep Covered Baker in the microwave with the lid on?

Yes, the Deep Covered Baker is designed for microwave use, but ensure the lid is properly positioned to avoid any issues. If the lid is not fitting correctly, it may not seal properly, which can affect cooking results.

What should I do if the lid is warped?

If the lid appears warped, try placing it in warm water for a few minutes to help reshape it. If the issue persists, contact Pampered Chef customer service for assistance or possible replacement options.

Is there a way to clean the lid to ensure a better fit?

Yes, make sure to clean the lid thoroughly to remove any food residue that may be causing it to not fit properly. Use warm soapy water and a soft sponge, and ensure it is completely dry before using it again.

How can I prevent the lid from not fitting in the future?

To prevent future fitting issues, always handle the lid gently and store it in a safe place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperature changes, as this can cause warping. Regularly check for any signs of damage or wear.
