Are the locking parts of the locks on the lid removable, I like the pot but have no need for the locking lid, this is strickly for an at home use.

No, the locks are connected to the handles. They have not created a problem being on there. When you are not using the pot, it is a help to lock them when the pot is not being used.

I does not look as if the latches can be removed, however I have used then when a my grandchildren were over so they could not lift the lid and hurt themselves. As you said it's strictly for home use you could could just them in the closed position on the lid. I love my Crock Pot and we use it often.

No you can't remove the latches. If you aren't going to use it for travel, then it looks like Model SCCPVC605-S is the same Crock Pot but with a different lid. I would check that one out.

I've looked at the part of the lock - you can remove the metal (clips) part that attaches the top lid to the crock-pot, just widen the metal clip to remove it. The other part of the lock (which is black plastic) on the lid is NOT removable. I'm using this for home use only and do not use the lock. Hope this helps.

Not that I can see. You can unlock them (which you must do when cooking), but they are permanently affixed to the crock pot.

Nope, the locking parts are stuck to the lid and sometimes flop down and get in the way a bit. They are supposed to fit in a little slot to stay put, but mine don't. Not a big deal and am used to it now. I think that they have a similar model without the locks though.

The lid can be removed. There are hinges that do keep it in place but I have by accident removed it completely, it does attach easily.

I would think pressure build up would be the issue and perhaps they are just covering themselves. This is however, the first one I have had that had the locking lid so and got for taking to pot luck dinners. I can see no reason I would need to use the locking mechanism while at home, it cooks in the time expected regardless. TIP: if you have never used crock pot liners, get some. They make clean up a snap!!

Yes, there is an inner removable pot. It is the grey band you see in the picture, it has an indentation that holds the lid in place. The pot has a non-stick type coating, be careful with it. There are markings inside the pot showing water and rice levels, so it is easy to use. If you plan to use it to heat other foods, the "heat" settings are "super hot" and "even hotter". And the heating element is only on the bottom, not on the sides. There is no off and on switch...plug in for "on", unplug for "off".

Yes, the lid is removable. I always just took it off, but I'm pretty certain there is no where to snap the kid to when it is off.

Yes. It has a removable, high-temp silicon sealing ring that should be very lightly lubricated with any of the various available vegetable oils before each use. About 4 or 5 drops lightly spread on the ring with your fingers should be enough. Lightly oiling the ring aids in seating and removing the lid when you lock and unlock it from the body of the pot; it allows both the pot and lid to rotate smoothly on the ring with little effort and no sticking. Besides providing an air-tight seal between the lid and the pot when locked, the ring also performs the secondary duty of high-limit pressure safety and is replaceable. Yes.

The lid stays on just fine. In fact, if my husband is already asleep and i want to make a late night cup of tea, i fill the pot with water earlier in the evening and have it ready, becuase putting the lid on and clicking it in makes a noise. it fits tight and does not leak. i am very happy with mine. the handle is stationary, so you have to finagle the lid a bit to get it in and clicked tight. but i have arthritis and i can do it so it's no big deal.dee jaquet

No it does not lock, lid sits down into pot about an inch. I do like the pot a lot though
1374759
yes, the pot and the lid are both separate. however, the pot cannot be immersed nor put in the dishwasher to clean.

Yes, the lid holder can be removed easily. I'm not sure why you would want to remove it, since it's quite handy, but if you have a reason, it's just a matter of unhooking it from the base.

Yes, it does have a removable pot. I love this pressure cooker, it is big enough to feed a hungry crowd.
1620586
Yes, It does have a removable pot. It is easy to use, safe, quiet and fast .

No. But you can buy a child proof latch to lock the lid. But really this feature should have been there.

Yes, it is removable and has a good non-stick coating. The entire lid can also be easily removed and washed.
2153966
you do have to hold the lid as you pour out liquids. so yes sometimes you do need a locked lid

There's a hole with a gasket in one lid, to allow for the included water lock. The only thing I don't like about the lids is that they don't seem to snap shut over the top. Otherwise, it's a great kit!

The removable pot is very sturdy but has a non stick finish. I initially had reservations about that part but have been pleased and not had a problem. I've had almost a year, use about once a week. Food does not stick, it cleans easily and so farther no scratches.
