    Sounds as if the lid does not fit properly.

    Get a refund and then get a MR one - the 6.5 litre size.

  • Mine (MR) has a high setting on it dsigned to seal some meats before stewing - could you have been slow cooking too fast?!

    The liquid inside is supposed to form a seal as it condenses inside the lid. This helps to keep the juices inside and prevents the food drying out. I agree with the poster above. It sounds as though the lid either doesn't fit or isn't on properly.

    What a hassle for you!
