lid gasket is not a consistent oval my new crock pot lid gasket is not smooth all the way around. There are buckles in it. I used crock pot last night and there was no steam leakage, but I am concerned it will not keep its seal.

I've only had my crock-pot for a short while, so can't vouch for the longevity of the seal. But I expect it should last. At least to keep food from leaking out during transport; it's not to be locked down when cooking.

If it becomes a problem during the warranty period, perhaps a return for replacement would be in order.

I've used mine multiple times and have not had a problem with the seal. I think the lid clasps forces a tight enough seal to take care of the gasket irregularities.

I'm pretty sure if you had no steam leakage it will keep the seal.
