My lid was stuck!
This was a first. I am making baked beans in the Crock Pot and I attempted
to lift the lid to taste for seasonings. But the lid was totally stuck. I really had to exert force to get it off. This is my newer one. Oval shaped and the lid is glass with a metal rim. |

A vacuum has been created and the way to break the vacuum is what I told you. I've copied a paragraph from the 'Net so that you can see what I say is true. It can happen to "any" lid on any pot. "Fixing a Vacuum-Sealed Lid Once you realize your lid is stuck, remove the pot from the heat source. Continuing to cook with a stuck lid will only reinforce the vacuum, as it is a result of the difference in temperature inside and outside the pot. Too strong a vacuum can warp some lids and pans. Try removing the lid by hand, wearing oven gloves to protect from the heat. If this does not work, place a steaming hot towel on the lid for a couple of minutes to raise the outer temperature. Try removing the lid again. Repeat as necessary until the lid comes off." Janet US |

A heated pot with a liquid will form steam pressure which will blow the lid *off* if it has no release. Cooling down it would form a vacuum as less dense hot air contracts. You'd need a perfect seal, however. Think canning jars. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |

You in fact have an imperfect seal which allowed steam and bean juices to escape sealing the lid when it got baked on. If you like I can post a paper on thermodynamics and fluid pressure equilibrium.

My experience and schooling tells me that cooking it increases volume and pressure, and that they vacuum would happen when the cooling happened. However, it happened in the world of Bove, so all bets are off. |

Crock pots do not produce any steam, they produce water vapor. The only way any pot lid will seal to the pot is as it cools and only if it makes a good seal, the Bove obviously let the crock pot cool to room temperature and likely let it sit at room temperature for many hours, and that it sealed means there was probably a lot of greasy schmutz around the rim... a lot of slobs don't bother washing a pot if they will use it again later in the week. From reading the Bove's posts I doubt she exerts any effort at all with anything, I imagine she never cleans anything including herself, her abode is likely far filthier than a pig sty. |

You probably have one of those cookers with a lid that can be clamped down for easy and safe transport. The gasket provides a leakproof seal when clamped but the top probably has some small vents through it to prevent a build up of pressure when the lid is clamped down. The lid gets stuck because the heat causes the soft gasket to stick to the surface of the container. |

A partial vacuum could form when the temperature was reduced, using water condensed between the lid and crock as a seal. Cindy Hamilton |

My suggestion is that you cut off that seal tout suite. That should fix it! |
