Does Libbey sell just the lids for the 6.25 ounce small bowls? My mom's caregivers microwave the bowls with lids and they melt. Need more lids

Actually, I've found that swapping out a cottage cheese or sour cream, and 32 oz yougert lid works well when this happens , and many come in clear like the libbey lids. Had the same problem with my family in their 90's. We use the 16 oz. because they eat together. Stay encouraged, and ask them to put a microwave dome over the glass bowl, I bought 6 at the dollar store, and for the price, always leave clean one inside microwave:) Praise God your mom is blessed enough to enjoy home cook food:) Sincerely, Linda in the evergreen state

I'm sorry, I can't help. I haven't put them in the microwave. The lids are still okay.

I don't know if they are sold separately anywhere, but I haven't seen any offered on Amazon. They should never be used in the microwave (cover with plastic wrap of paper towel). You can still use the bowls for cereal, fruit, etc. even though the lids have melted and can no longer be used.

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.

No. We do not put the covers in the microwave. We also usually wait for dishes to cool before putting lids on them. We do put dishes in the fridge and freezer with lids on them. We have no problems with the lids.

I haven't been able to find just the lids. I have broken 2 lids by dropping my cup on the sidewalk. I wish they would sell them separately.

I'll try to answer. They are essentially like the Pyrex Mixing Bowls, etc. that you were used to. They can handle hot liquids. I would say you can microwave them better than plastic left over bowls, especially if you've some type of tomato paste in them which would stain plastic. They are not too heavy. They are lighter weight for their size than the Pyrex bowls. I'm guessing 3/16" thick. I liked them for their lightweight.

Apparently, the product I purchased is no longer available on amazon. I was going through all of my reviews and some of them were for products I ordered a really long time ago. The product pictured that you asked about does not include lids. The product I reviewed, is a 4 piece bowl set with different colored-lids. I've also seen them (the 4 piece set with lids) at Walmart and Target.

According to the product description both 18 and 28 ounce bowls are 6.2 inches in diameter, so they should take the same size lids. I do not have any lids.

The lids are kind of hard to get on. I love the bowls though. Like you I had to replace some bowls I have had for a long time.

Mine came with the lids, but as a caveat, I purchased way back in Dec 2013. I know this is going to sound strange, but I suggest you NOT microwave the lids as much as you can. My previous lids became brittle and cracked over time (years of use). Perhaps Corning changed the material they used, but I am careful with mine.

I think they're like storage bowls. They may be okay to microwave a few times, but then they start to warp and melt. I absolutely wouldn't microwave the top pieces at all.

I put my smaller bowls in the microwave and haven't had a problem. The salad bowls are very large for individual salads though so I use them more for serving dishes. Therefore I rarely need to microwave the contents of the bowls. The bowls do conduct heat so be careful!

ARC International Luminarc White Working Glass Lids for Double Old Fashioned Cooler Glass, Set of 6 I purchased this set of extra lids before, but cannot find the Amazon listing now. So I went into "My Order" and pretended to want to reorder, then a message came up that this item is currently unavailable.

We've had these bowls for many years and uses and the lids still fit well.It's why we purchased additional sets - the bowls and lids hold up well.Also, never put plastic in a microwave. Chemicals leach out from petro-based products.

They do not come with lids. You can order them separately but they are shipped from a different vendor. Therefore, the shipping cost was separate as well. It didn't seem worth it to me. I plan to check the Tervis lids at a local store to see if they fit.

I just tried C & B and they only have the 9" lids. What is worse, ARC Int'l. doesn't even stock the lids separately for the 5.5" bowl. I've contacted EVERYONE! And I need 20!
