I'm trying to decide between the stainless lid or the plastic lid. Does anyone have any thoughts? the plastic one hard to clean on the underside?

I love this can. I had original for 6 years and just got the 2nd for recycling. I would say that maybe the staninless would be better than the plastic. My dog tried to chew open the plastic lid and it has left not-so-nice marks... would maybe be less apparent on the stainless.

I got the stainless and it looks nice and is easy to clean inside and out. Definitely doesn't show fingerprints and smudges like an old can did. However it will get dented. Drop something on it, have a three year old whack it with drumsticks, whatever. Still looks clean, just dimpley.

I have not had any problems at all, it really easy to clean. I'm a hundred percent satisfied with my purchase . I hope my answer help you making a decision.

The plastic Oxo works well, but I think the stainless version may be sharper, and cut more easily. I am going to try that one.

With the easy clean lid the entire mechanism inside flips out of the lid so that you can clean in all the little parts and pieces. The open access lid only had a flap that opened so you could reach the mechanics inside. It was a very tight space and still hard to clean, this new one is much better and so much easier to clean!

If you diligently clean the lid every time by opening the lid and running hot water through it or soaking it in hot water for like ten to twenty seconds and just drain it. My works great and stays cleaner than the old lid. Definitely! ! !

I wash it all the time...nothing happens to the bottle...But I think the lid is not dishwasher safe at all. this is an awesome bottle if only the lid fits tighter and water doesn't leak if the bottle is not upright. Otherwise the stainless steel bottle is THE BEST :)

I've had 2 of these. My newest one, the lid is definitely tighter, but still a one handed operation. If it doesn't get easier quickly, I'd get a different one. Is the seal glued on properly? Maybe it slipped??

Never tried it without the lid, so I did. No problem with threads or unpleasant. I always use with lid but did replace plastic straw with stainless one.

Just like the Oxo, the lid is one piece that has many small areas to collect dirt. Dish soap and water is all I used to keep ours looking new. I would consider using a mild bleach solution.

I think the plastic will hold up better than stainless steel it won't rust it's easy to clean and so far hasn't absorbed any oders and I have put onion scraps into it and other items that have a strong Oder and I washed it with dish detergent and it didn't smell at all. I love mine.

The lids are a thicker and harder plastic as compared to the container which is more rubbery. Also, I think I saw someone post that the contents don't come out easily... if you put in a shallow cup or bowl of warm water, or run under warm water, the contents come out with ease and perfectly clean.

Mine rusted. I was given it 9 months ago and it is used every day. We keep water in it because it is used frequently. Also, although the lid is stainless steel, the fasteners are creating rust colored streaks. Not impressive. Deciding if I should contact the company. I threw out the receipt because I thought it was a quality product. Oops.

After buying several lids for this pan, I found the Nordic Wear restaurant 12" brush stainless steel lid to have the best fit. It's somewhat flimsy but costs under $20 at Amazon. The type of cooking I do in the pan doesn't require use of a lid for very long.

The plastic and stainless on ours seems dishwasher friendly. We don't use our dishwasher to clean ours because by the time we've made our spaetzle it's a mess with batter in every nook and cranny. Seems to cleanup better if we soak it in soapy hot water and then rinse with hot water spray angled intentionally into the tracks the batter hopper slide in.

I have the white version of this model. Yes, the sides and bottom are stainless steel, but the lid has plastic on the underside painted to appear stainless steel. When steam rises and heats the underside of the lid, the water will run back to the bottom and bring down any potential plastic chemical. It's not entirely stainless steel interior, I'm upset.

Hi, I am also looking for one that has a stainless steel interior. Have you been able to verify that this one is stainless steel? If not, have you found one that is? Thanks!

I didn't want a stainless body. I think it would be harder to keep clean. Also, I just liked the color options for the grill box the Weber offers on the E330. Hope this helps!
