FireInMyBonesi have an updated BOT 700 and used it for about a month this summer- the lid worked just as it should- i will say that hydrating my food in the BOT and then heating it on my pocket rocket burned everything i tried this with, including noodles- i did not stir constantly, but will use this more as a pot than a pre soaking and warming container. it is my go-to pot for back and bike packing
