Are the time and temperature settings etched into the lid or are they printed on? Do they eventually rub off?

The time and temperature each have their own knob/dial on the lid. Mine have not rubbed off.

On the model i own, they are screen-printed onto the surface (slightly raised) but, seems to be quite durable.

They are not etched into the lid. They do rub off pretty quickly - with just a couple of washing.

Yes I have ordered 3. The one I have completely rub off. What I will do if and when I purchase another 1 I will use finger nail polish to at least I will be able to estimate the temperature. Example I will indicate each 100, 200, 300 etc.

They are etched, I used disinfecting wipes to clean it & they are still there.

Lids are clear. Yes there's writing.... says Xeonic in large letters then in very small letters it says "The best freshness by an excellent air tightness. Good design & convenient style" The writing is not an eyesore by any means. Didn't even notice it until I received your ? and looked to answer you. They're such a nice set...strong,bpa-free,dishwasher safe,etc. Got sick of the take n toss cheap stuff because they really do stain, unlike these bowls. Hope I helped!!!

The lettering around the timer dial has worn off on mine after about 18 months. Need to use a seperate timer now.

I have had mine for awhile now, and I use them almost daily. So far, no deterioration of the marks.

I don't know, but the temperature numbers ink wiped off completely when I cleaned it.

Time and temperature are stenciled on, I clean with mild soap and it has held up very well with heavy usage for over a year.

I have had mine for 2 years and the writing has rubbed off, but not in enough places that I can't tell what they are. You could always go back over it with a sharpie. Mine are always hand washed, so I have never had any melting issues. I love these measuring spoons though and actually just purchased a set for my mom.

it's pushed in with a nice tight seal . I do 90 minutes in mashes and it will lose 1 to 2 degrees over 90 minutes and that is taking the lead office 30 minutes and at 60 minutes to stir . if you don't take the lid off it will probably hold the temperature for the full 90 minutes .

The lid has a switch on the top, so it has an on and off setting. Works well enough!

I have been using mine for about 2 months and there is no sign of deterioration or fading. The stickers are printed with the letters and have excellent sticking power. They look just like the letters on the original keyboard. If they wear out, I would buy them again. Hope that helps.

The older version wiped off. Called oxo and they sent me these for free. They have fantastic customer service and these new ones I have had for 2 years and not a thing has rubbed or washed off. It's permanent

The preset times are set as is. However you can manually set times according to your needs by using the PRESSURE COOK TIME button. This is a very user friendly pressure cooker, you are literally pressing buttons, locking the lid and walking away. Fabulous.

I do not. I cook them and once the timer goes off leave them set for 2 to 5 min in the machine still covered. Come out perfect.

No they work perfectly well and has the same application as the more expensive thermos containers. They are well insulated and keep hot or cold for about 2-3 hours.

I am so sorry, but I bought these mugs to give as a gift for someone else and only examined them briefly. I don't recall seeing an indentation but I cannot attest to it.

I've had mine for about 2 months. All of the print is still there, so far, but I also hand wash it immediately after use. I could see how the print could rub away, but, as with anything, if you care for it carefully, then it will last much longer. (I was actually concerned about this issue before buying since I saw some of the reviews saying that these measuring cups were losing the printing on them.)

YES, the disappearing lettering is a problem, even tho we were more careful with the 2nd and 3rd kettles. But this unit is, by far, the best I have found. We use ours all day long - everyday and they last about 2 yrs. We even have a spare for when we travel.
