We bought it because it's stainless steel, light in weight and small in size. After using it for just over a month, we couldn't get the lid open one evening when ready for dinner. It took 3 people multiple attempts before we could get it open. It worked fine for a couple of weeks, then the same issue happened again and again. The lid is tightly locked that we can't get it open. Very annoying! There must be some mechanical issue in the design or defect in the manufacturing process.
