Question: I have a gasket issue with my current Stay OR GO now and buying a new one seems wise.  Do U seal the lid when crocking?  I always do but wondering.
Document: I needed another slow cooker so I purchase my second Hamilton Beach Stay or Go 6 Qt. The handles on the new one are easier to manage. These are great slow cookers for the money. Great for parties when serving hot savories, chili, etc., in addition to cooking.
Very large on the inside and being able to seal the lid on it wonderful. I have cooked all sorts of things in here, including a whole spaghetti squash. Seems to be able to handle any recipe.
I wrote to HB and this is what they told me to do:"We recommend to allow the gasket of the lid to soak for at least 2 hours in white vinegar before cleaning." I doubt that is something I will want to do. UPDATE: I did soak it for 2 hours in vinegar and the smell from what I cooked was still in the lid. Customer service was less than helpful and wanted to charge me $16.29 for a new lid. So like what would change.
I don't know if a replacement lid would make a difference - as I see another customer here complaining of the same issue. It almost appears that they added a rubber seal around the base of the lid in order to correct a design flaw, but it still doesn't correct the problem of the mis-shaped lid. We'll see how good their customer service is....I'll try to report back.
Hamilton Beach is a trusted name and I am very pleased with this crock pot. The oval shape is great for whole chickens. I particularly like the lid lock system. It has a soft gasket seal that prevents food from sloshing out if it's being transported in a vehicle. There's nothing fancy about it and it doesn't even have a power indicator light, It's a very simple and basic slow cooker that works perfectly.If you don't need a lot of bells and whistles, this is the crock pot for you.
This stay or go slow cooker is just what I needed. The clips and gasket make it so easy to cook and bring my food to my pot luck with no worries of spilling. Plus, it makes a week night meal so easy. I'm very happy with this purchase.
Wow! I was cooking a stew and lifted the lid to give it a stir and then POP! I'm wondering what just happened and realize I'm holding the black handle knob, the lid frame is halfway in the stew with hundreds of glass chunks everywhere. I didn't even put the lid down or touch anything with it. I have had this cooker for 10 months and have always handled it with care and have never bumped the lid.I am going to contact the company and see what they say.
While the stay or &#34;go&#34; idea is nice-- and it IS convenient to be able to take it places and not spill, it doesn't cook well. The rubber gasket just does not hold in the heat the way the old metal edged lids do. Takes forever to cook, and often dries out the meat. I've given up and am getting a different kind, this has ruined too many meals.
This is the best slow cooker that I have owned so far and I have own about 3 others before this one. I like the tight fitting lid and the &#34;low&#34; setting seems to be hotter than my other slow cookers. I put in a large roast last night at 9 pm and when i got up at 6 pm the roast, potatoes, onions, etc. was ready to eat. Would purchase this again.
I have an older model of this and love it! I gave this one as a gift and they love it. The clamp on lid is wonderful and saves the carpet in your vehicle. I also love the rubber seal ring on the lid as the crockpot doesn't lose steam like my other one.
Answer: No!  I believe it is likely to build up too much pressure if sealed. I do think the gasket keeps food moist but the side clips are in the way.
