Are the the lids glass? And the handles, it seems like it would be an inconvenience to be putting them off & on. Also with the handles, do they attach securely, no loose connections?

This is the best set of pots and pans I've had in a very long time. The ONLY problem I've had is that the rubber cord that holds the entire ensemble together is somewhat hard to get in place.

All of the lids I have fit very tightly. On the large round ones, I have to pry them off with a knife handle. They don't leak or spill at all.

the lids are not attached. The containers are fairly small for dry snacks, though. But I can see using them that way. Just not exclusively.

Yes - in my experience, the handles do not get hot. I can grab them without any problem while cooking.

The lids have high handles, yes which is good when the lid is hot. To store them, I used a wire/plastic coated dish/pot wrack and they stand up behind my stacked pots/pans.

They should work well. We have All-Clad stainless lids and they do the trick...no tea pot however. The handle covers may be loose given they are universal and will fit many types of lid handles. They are secure however and avoid the need for a pot holder. Hope this helped.

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.

I've never had trouble getting lids on and off unless the bowl has just been taken out of the freezer, but after it sits a minute, it comes right off. The bowls and lids ARE dishwasher safe, but I never put lids in due to warping.

They hold tight. I'm not putting in the dishwasher though because I don't want them to change their shape. I also bought a set of Anchor Hocking and the lids on the Pyrex are so much better fitting.

The lids stay on. There is a tab at one of the corners (not shown in the picture) that you sue to take off the lids. Otherwise, it would be a little hard to get them off. However, it is easy if you use the tab. So they stay on very well but are also relatively easy to take off.

Yes the lids seem airtight to me. They have screw on grooves that secure on pretty well. Interesting idea to use them for dry snacks. Will have to try.

Yes, the lids "screw-on" and are very secure. I pack the bowls in my backpack and take the train daily and have never had a leakage problem. I ended up ordering two sets because I use them so much.

The lids are the same in term of leakage. I use saran wrap before I put the lids on. That works for me.

I haven't had any problems, although I usually don't transport liquids in them. This is my second set and I just love them. This set seems to be made better. The lids lock much better then the previous set.

So far they seem air tight and spill proof but my concern is over time and with the heat from the dishwasher can they sustain their durability (the lids in particular). By the way, one of the lids was broken.

I experienced no problem with the pot handles at all, but I only used the stovetop, and not the oven. I never used the lids during my (short) trial period with the cookware.

I haven't had any problems with the pot handles getting hot. The lid handles are cool touch on the underside of the handle however the tops are not so they can heat up. If you lift the lids from under the handles its fine.
