Can it run with the lid open? I need to stir during cycle

Yes you can and I was making a vitamin C potion in it when it broke after about the 6 time and there was no manufacturer's paperwork included to return it to or warranty. I was left with throwing it in the trash after about 2 months use. You would be making a big mistake buying this item.

Yes - although I don't know why you need to stir when its running. It is stirring ultrasonically.

I don't know if you "have" to; I always do. The lid is extremely useful in the sense that it warns you when it has reached the right boiling point pressure. To that point make sure that it is well placed (you will feel a satisfying click).Best regards.Sherban Popovici

You could but it would be a waste of energy. The canner has a lot of mass and it all has to be heated. The porcelain canners have far less mass and are designed to heat up quickly (and their cost is minor). If it were me I would use the right tool for the right job. If you decide to do it anyway DO NOT SEAL THE LID.

The instructions say you should lock it down, which I found odd. If you don't latch it, the lid can rise a bit.

Yes, absolutely! I make my own lattes and coffee in the morning and put it in the mug without the strainer. The seal remains tight since the strainer basket screws in the inside of the lid.

good question - never even tried! All you really need to do is get a good pot cleaning (like coffee cleaning agents) stuff, and boil 4 times and it will be squeaky clean on the inside

The lid is spring loaded so will stay open while pouring. It can not be removed but the opening is large enough to allow for cleaning when necessary.

Yes, if you lift the lid by hand instead of by foot pedal. it stays 90* open.

It is better to stir the product with a spoon. The ingredients inside can build up if you shake it with a lid on, and it can actually pop the lid right off.

I always cooked with the lid down to hold in the heat and prevent oil splash. But I think you could cook with it open.

On its own it will run for 8 hours. It is simple to interrupt this though, just open the lid. I do it all the time.

Sure you can. You would, I believe, just use the canner without making the pressure lid closed. It can act like any pan if you don't secure the pressure lid.

If it will fit under the closed lid, you are good. A caution, however - putting a pot of hot oil on an open flame is a recipe for disaster

Can't help you friend. The instruction that came with mine , stated the lid is to remain open during operation. Sorry.

Yes, absolutely. Using a potholder is a good idea too, since you may risk being burnt by the rising steam from the lid.

yes you can cook with the lid open but why would you. the grease will splatter all over with the lid open.

Yes. There is a small hole in the top that serves as a vent for that purpose. You just rotate the dial on the lid.
