Is this normal for a slow cooker? It has about a 2cm space between the crock and the lid.

The lid doesn’t seem big enough, but maybe a little bit of space is normal? This is a Kitchen Aid slow cooker.

there is a gap with mine. once the lid doesn’t fall in then it’s fine

Most slow cookers I’ve seen have a rubber gasket for a seal.

Well it would do if you have a fork between them.

Don’t cook with it. Exchange it!

No!

Mine has a gap, too.
Currently making chicken pot pie soup. Will add the chunks of warm pie crust on top, when I serve it.

I use a hand towel or a large banana leaf (I live in mexico) to keep moist inside.

My KitchenAid slow cooker lid has a lot of play but rests on the ceramic crock without a gap. In answer to the other poster, I read the Amazon reviews and don’t think people realize the slow cooker actually cooks slow. If they don’t see it boiling the contents they don’t think it works properly.

It’s fine. It’s not a pressure cooker, the crock will heat and evenly distribute the heat. Cook away!

You could throw some foil over the pot until you get the gasket.

A temporary solution maybe would be to line the edge of your whole lid with foil. Hope that helps. You need to trap the heat. You wanna slow cook your food, not keep it warm.

Did you try taking the fork out?

I have three different slow cookers. None have a gap like this.

No should fit properly, especially if cooking something for 8 hours.

Piece of foil over croc (don’t crimp down). Place lid on top. Good to go

I reckon this is fine. Mine has one

No big…but I’d exchange it for one without such a large defect
takemystrife
That’s just sloppy craftsmanship. Send it back

Does it have the clamps at each side? How does it seal when you clamp it in?

Absolutely not.

Because there’s a fork in there, maybe? 🤔

Take the fork out and the lid will fit better 👍

After time it’s a thing with the lid & the crock has to be in the right place

Just spray paint a line on the lid & crock matches up every time
