How is the quality of the lids and handles? Thanks!

The lids and the handles on this set of cookware is some of the sturdiest I have ever seen!

I gave the set to my daughter for a wedding present. Her only complaint is that the handles get hot since they are also stainless. The set is beautiful and very efficient with the multi-layered clad bottoms.

We are ordered this set more than a year ago. When the set arrived in Trinidad & Tobago via Miami, we found that 3 pots had its rims bent and the plastic part of the handles were broken (the top part of the handles are stainless steel while under the handles is a plastic portion to allow you to hold the handle without burns although I would still recommend pot holders). We feel this damage happened during the shipping since it was shipped during Christmas time. However when we communicated with the supplier about the damaged pots, they replaced all 3 pots and included 3 extra plastic parts for the handles. The lids are very sturdy and so far we have not had any problems with the temperature gauge on any of them. We love this line of cooking ware and we were equally impressed with the quality customer service. The quality of this line is amazing and it has definitely improved the taste and quality of our food.

The quality of this set is excellent including handles and lids. The only thing I struggle with is how heavy these pots are but they cook fantastic and worth the weight.

The lids are quite well fitting and tight. I'm not going to turn a bowl of soup upside down over my head to prove it but I can say for normal use they keep liquids from spilling ...hold on a minute.Okay, I turned the small bowl half full of water with the lid on upside down over my head and I'm still dry. So, yes the lids are quite nice and tight.

The handles are urethra plastic and appear to be sturdy. I have looked for these spatulas for a good while and am delighted with these.

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 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 find the handles to be very sturdy. They have not bent and I've had mine for a few years now. My Husband has even used them and he hasn't bent them either. He is a bit more rough with things than I am, well because he's male ;-)

The handles are made from a decent quality silicone. Provide excellent grip and do not get hot. It is riveted although it does not go all the way through to the inside.

Mine are fine. I've only had them for a few months but the handles look like they did when they were new. I don't put mine in the dishwasher very often and that might be why they are coming apart on them if they put them in the dishwasher.

The lids are very sturdy! I just drop in my purse and go one. No spills or leaks. Also, they are air right so no moisture will get in. They are amazing.

I've never tried to be honest. They hold just enough ice cream for my 2 and 4 yo so lids haven't been needed :)

I used the whole set today. Got the job done. Eyeshadow looked very good, blended well. I think they're firm but soft. But everyone's perspective on them is different. The handles though, don't drop them. They will break off.

The handles are plastic, so I'd recommend the top rack. (The bottom rack is hotter.) Like Jim, I haven't tried it.

They are thicker then they look....Very sturdy!!! Yes the handles are smooth comfortable to hold.....we had a neighbor with big hands use them and he had no complaints that I'm aware of.....

They are canning jar lids so they are pretty durable. We hand wash and dry or put them in dish washer.

The lids fit really good on the set that I received. My grandsons (19 mo old) love cooking with these pots!

Hi K, all I know is that they are the best pans I have ever had. The handles are great and they are completely non stick. Take care, J

I would say the lids are about the same. The latches and hinges are better though. They are made out of metal.
