Are the lids hard to get on after you have had them a while? I ask because I have a set by another company and the lids are impossible to get on.

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.

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.

Had my sets about a year now. Microwave, dishwasher, and grand kids and the lids still go on easily & seal tight. I also have some by another company that are a knife fight to get the lids on.

The lids do have a snug fit. Since they fit on the inside of the bowl instead of the outside, like a typical plastic container, they stay on quite well.

The lids are plastic but as other people have said, they don't fit well. I ordered the set and 1 lid fit fine but the other 2 were much too loose. I returned the set.

The lids are a hard plastic. They kind of suction in the containers. They stay in pretty good.

I've had mine in for almost a year and they are still squishy. As long as I keep the lid on I haven't had a problem.

I have not had this problem (yet). The reason that I bought this model was that the write-up claimed that the lid was "easy to open". I'm disappointed to hear that you are having this problem. If you do get it to open, apply the silicone o-ring lube to the threads also. This will help prevent them from seizing in the future.

They seem quite sturdy to me. I've used them all A LOT and I haven't had a problem yet. These things are so convenient. I will never look for another lid again! I hope this helps.

No I have not had this problem at all. I have three of these lids this one a ten and twelve inch. Use them quite a bit. Put them in the dish washer when I'm done.

They do not come with lids. I ordered these for my coworker, and that was her only complaint. I've been told you can buy lids separately.

I think they would do well for you. They have a great seal you just have to master the art of getting the lids on. Once you get a handle on that you will love them. Press the lid down in one spot then work the rest of the lid down with thumbs while pressing down. I got a bit frustrated at first with the lids but once you get the hang of it they are great I have no regrets with this purchase and did buy more.

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 have three sets of these and on two sets the lids are not easily removable, and I am sure they were made to not be removed. When refilling I start on one side of the system and refill the entire week, spin them around and finish the rest. The one set that the lids come off easily, it is more of a nuisance as when you replace the lid..was this am or pm side?? The boxes spin so easily it easy to lose track of what side or what divider is what time slot. With the fixed lid system you have no question what time slot you are filling and all four lids can be lifted at once and filled at once.

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.

I bought them; but don't use much because the lids are difficult to get on securely.

I have a hard time opening it too. I've had it for over a year and I use it almost every day, but even with constant use the lid has never gotten easier to open. I've just found better ways to open it. I now use a dime to pop the lid up.

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.

I'm sorry you are having such a hard time with your cookware. If you purchased this second set thru QVC, they may take it back,although I don't know how long ago you made your purchase or perhaps it's just this one particular piece and lid that you can have replaced, I would contact QVC since you bought the cookware through them. I personally have not had any issues at all with my cookware, I have been delighted since I took them out of the box. I hope you can get your situation resolved! Lori
