Are the lids slotted for spoons and can you get replacement lids if they break?

The lids are not slotted for spoons. You'll probably have to check with the manufacturer for replacement parts.

Nope, there are no slot cut outs for serving spoons. You probably can order lids if you need to from Oster.

No they are not slotted for spoons. Do not know about replacement lids. Overall good buy. Have used it twice for party and have been very happy with it.

I have not figured that out yet, but they do have spare lids available at the Thermos site for $6.75 for 1 lid and $11 for 2.

To be honest, I haven't searched for any replacement lids. Have you tried contacting the seller or manufacturer?

Yes, but it takes several years. It's plastic, so it will eventually become brittle. Finding replacement lids can be a bit problematic, but overall these cups (and their lids) have worked very well for us for a long time.

Yes the lids have a cutout for the spoon, I ordered 3 1oz ladles to use for sauces, it works great.

Yes but it is much easier to wash the lid than replace a cup because it broke. My kids have dropped theirs numerous times over the past 2 years (even chucked across the floor in a store during a tantrum!). They're scratched up but never cracked or broken! The designs have even stayed well through countless washings in dishwasher and dropping.

Yes, I've reused the lids and the cups. I like them better than the little cups you can buy in the grocery stores.If the cup starts to show a crack I throw it away and get another. The lids fit the K-cups you buy already filled too. So you can use them over too. :-)

Nope! Just stainless. Lids are plastic...lasted me over a year, no cracks yet. Love them. Have 3 sets.

I don't know what you mean by "breakdown", but I don't know if new lids can be ordered. Sorry.

Ditto. My cats use the lids as toys, and then they disappear into whatever dimension cats keep their fav toys in. Personally, I never see the lids again. But I would dearly like a few replacements.

I never use the lids. I have three just sitting in my cabinet. Let me know if you want me to send you one of mine. Otherwise, I would get in touch with the manufacturer. Thanks, Elizabeth

I have a large collection of these, and the lids are definitely not difficult to pry off. They are dishwasher safe (I have a Bosch dishwasher with a third rack for flat items, which is where I put them, not sure if that makes a difference). Mine are relatively new so I don't know if they will warp or fit less well over time, but so far they are fabulous.

No they are wrapped in a thin protective sleeve and placed in a cardboard box that has dividers. If any of they come chipped they will replace. I had a lid that was chipped and they mailed me a new one

The lids are metal and the middle hole is perfect for a straw. I've also put them in the dishwasher and they did great. I would highly recommend these!!!

Well,,, yes they can be removed by pulling straight up on both lids at the same time. They are attached to the divider bar by means of plastic pins. I don't think it was designed for regular removal of the lids, but I just tried it and it worked. It was a bit of effort to pull it out. Then just re-insert the pin to put the lids back on. It may however, after continuous removals and replacing wear out the pens. But on the other hand the lids don't open as fully as i would like them and makes it a little hard to fill the cups up. So even though I hadn't thought of it, I may just start taking the lids off too! :) Well,,, yes they can be removed by pulling straight up on both lids at the same time.

I've seen lids for these, but I don't recall where or how much they were. The first two results at http://goo.gl/bO6aJ have the lids, but you may be able to find them on Amazon if you poke around.

The lid can break if dropped but Thermos sells the replacement lids for $3. I bought some spares and have been happily uses my same bottles for 2 years.
