Is the lid intended to be used 2 ways? And if so, can you tell me the height with the lid in the tallest position. I have a very small microwave.

5 inches with lid in tallest position. Very handy as lid can be used both ways.

The lid can be used 2 ways-for cooking/steaming when placed upright, and for draining when inverted. It is about as tall as a 12 oz. soda can with the lid placed in cooking (highest) position. Really like this product.

No, the lid is not intended to be used for anything else besides covering the container
1762831
Whether intended or not, the lid can be used right side up or upside down (as pictured). With the lid right side up on the pot the full height if about 6 inches. The pot without the lid is 4 inches and with the inverted lid on is about 4 and a half inches high.

It does not fit in mine because it is too tall. It does fit without the lid.

I measured, and got a total height of 34 7/8 inches when the lid is all the way up. It will be very close, but should work. *I suspect you used a tape measure and included the extra 1/8" from the metal end of the tape. So I did too. Otherwise, you could consider the can+lid full height at a hair over 34 3/4". ** I have the version with the flat metal lid.

its says in the instruction manual that "Allow foods to cool before placing in the side bowl(s). Closing the lid with hot foods inside may cause the lid to deform and contents to spill." and also they add "Always remove the lid from the inner bowls before microwaving, and do to microwave the outer container. The lids and outer container are not microwaveable" and im sure you know but for a lid to be microwavable it has to have some sort of small hole in it so pressure wont build up , even if a lid writes microwavable on it if by design fault it does not have a hot steam escape hole on it you should never microwave it , you risk injury or at best destroying your microwave or food at best its says in the instruction manual that "Allow foods to cool before placing in the side bowl(s).

The one i bought was the 1quart and it fits in my 8inch high microwave. The larger one 2.5quart will most likely not fit.

Yes, with a little manuvering. I have a 1.2 cubic microwave and it fits in fine.

I ordered this one for my son but I have one I have had for years and yes I use the lids. I have enjoyed mine so much and if I cooked more these days I would order me a new one. Hope this helps, I will try to remember to ask him next time I talk with him but I would think you would use lids or the steam would just go in microwave, things would not steam. Just my thoughts.

Yes, my microwave is even fairly small and it fits. Agree with LM that it does probably take a bit longer. This item is wonderful!

No. The lid has a steam hole in it. Flip the button and there is a hole. Flip it the other way and it seals for storage. Never microwave with the steam hole closed and you won't have an issue. I use this thing everyday. Love it.

Hello BethanyIt has 23"x14"x15". Our microwave has 21"x14"x14.5" and fits perfectly. If your microwave is bigger it won't fit in the bottom but may fit on the top. We are very satisfied with this item. It's a very good purchase.Good luckNoella

I have a very tiny kitchen, with very limited counter spaces the microwave needed to sit in a small utility table. I would have liked.a little larger one. The dimensions are a little smaller than stated, they 18 W 12 1/2 D 11 H. My problem was the first one that was sent to me didn't work, I had to return it. I'm am elderly so that turned out to be a real hassle for me. The second one ,so far, works very well. It's a bit more tinny than I would have liked. Hope this helps with your decision.

The lid should at least sit well. Most microwave oven has a lazy susan that turns around to get the food heated evenly. This product the lid slides off. This seems to be a manufacturing defect. I have bought a similar product before hence, and my old one still works fine.

the manual say that you should have 1 inch dlearance above the microwave. I think it has to do with the heat

my microwave is not 2 feet from oven, in fact it is above in a built out cabinet space. it functions just fine. now, i don't use my conventional oven much and i have never used it at the same time as the microwave, but so far, i have had no problems with this microwave oven...i love it.

There is a 1"x1" protrusion on the left corner of the back of the microwave, that either protects the cord, or allows air to circulate through the rear vents. If the protrusion wasn't added, the microwave would measure 11 1/2" deep. However, it measures nearly, but not quite, 13" on that left corner. In any case, I think a 12" shelf might be somewhat unstable, as the microwave can slide around. I have a rubber mat under mine to keep it from traveling. And I use a gentle touch opening and closing the door. Other than that, I love the little critter for heating/reheating, popcorn, potatoes--and other simple cooking tasks...Not for gourmet cooking in my opinion.

Best to ask the manufacturer, GE. The NEW model did NOT fit into the space where our original microwave by GE went (because GE made the unit a bit taller), so we had to have a carpenter trim down the top and bottom of the cabinet so the taller unit would fit. It turned out fine, but it took a bit of effort.
