Is the handle on the glass lid plastic and if so does the plastic reach through the other side of the glass where the food would be?

I ended up returning this item so I can't look. As I recall, the knob is plastic, but the plastic does not extend through. it is attached with a steel (stainless?) screw. the screw head does protrude slightly from the lid, but because the lid is domed, it is too high to touch the food.

Actually, it's BOTH. The see-thru part is glass and the rim and handle are metal. Caution, it gets hot so use a pot holder if you've been cooking a while. Washes up beautifully or just put in the dish washer (not the pan, just the lid).

The lid is glass with a metal rim and handle. It fits tightly on the pan and works well for cooking rice.

Yes it is but I don't recemened that you put the lid with the bowel in the microwave together because someone I know did that and she said that the ld doesn't fitbthe container anymore because the heat from the microwave some how made it shrink so just the glass is fine and cover the container with a paper towel to warm things up Instead or a paper plate on top but otherwise yes it's perfectly microwaveable safe after all it's glass not plastic

I don't have a glass lid and use the plastic. It works great the way it is.

The string is attached to the outside of the lid and does not come in contact withe food.

I would say the picture that i see to the left is accurate. There really aren't handles on this product, just a small rounded extension to the pan itself which is 3/4" from the actual depression for the outside corn molds. There is a hole at center on either end. Hope that helps!

The inside of the lid is stainless steel but the outside of it is a type of plastic

Its a basket. The sides of the basket go all the way up to the lid. They've also made improvements to the handles unlike some of the earlier critiques.

The lid pivit on the side over the wheels is used as the handle..it's full width and heavy enough to work very well. Great can it has so far survived my trash guys torture tests.

it has fluted sides so I'm not sure. I gave it to my daughter and she loves it..I never thought of using it for food since it's metal but i guess that would work. it is pretty deep.

The handle goes both ways, but if you hold the barrel (where the grated cheese comes out) and reverse the handle it unlocks and the handle comes off, so that is how the whole think comes apart to be cleaned. I previously had a metal cheese grater, and this zyliss one in plastic seems more secure and works great. We are using it daily and are glad we purchased this brand of grater.

No. It's glass. There is a metal band holding the handle on but the part that isn't glass is plastic.

The lid goes on the outside of the glass so that no aluminum is touching the food.

The handle gets in the way only minimally. The handle can pivot to either side and I find it fairly easy to access stuff in the bottom tray.

Yes, the handle lays flat in a recessed area on the lid. I love these containers--I now have two.

The top of the lid is metal, but the underside is plastic. Well made, thick, not at all flimsy.
