I have just places an order for two sets of 4. It seems most reviews are not infavor of the lids.. Is it true they do not stay in place?

Hello! So far I have had no problem with the caps, its use is in the fridge, I have not warmed anything with it, nor did I put it in the freezer. I tried it in the oven now and resists heat low heat just something, maybe less than a minute. It is possible that continuous use in the oven cause damage.

Mine are pretty snug. I made mini flans and the lids keep the caramel in nicely. No problems at all.

I was worried about that too, but mine are perfect. They fit nice and snug- I have salt, pepper, sugar in them- I haven't tried liquids, but I really love them!

The lids are slightly loose, but I love the shape of these dishes and use them constantly. The lids are tight enough for storage purposes, but if holding liquid and tipped sideways, you might have a leak on your hands.

They are not snug and after a few months of use they start cracking and eventually split to the middle and become unusable.

I have a set of these a few years old. While the glass part is very rugged, the lids are unfortunately far from. Every one of mine developed a split in it rendering them useless. As a substitute, plastic wrap does cling well to the glass.

I was fortunate that the lids on my set did fit well from the start. But I tend to misplace them. A good substitute is the lid from a can of coffee (most brands, maybe not all).

They stay in place just not super snug fit. If you had a liquid in a dish and turned it upside down it may leak out.

I have not had any problems with them yet. I even put coconut oil in one of them with a lid and keep it in my swim bag. It has not leaked yet.

I have not had any issues. I've even put them in the dishwasher and the lids still fit snug.

can also pull them off with a little effort. I also bought the WalMart "Better Homes and Garden" container w/ the flip lock lid and I can do the same with a little more effort. I've had them for 6 mos. they both seem to keep things fresh and bugs out. (I live in Florida). They also look nice on the counter.

I have had no problems with the way the lids fit any of the pans. I absolutely love these pans.

I seem to be the only one who has a bit of trouble getting them all screwed together. It is a bit more difficult than I'd like, but that said it's not enough of an issue that it would keep me from using them. I love the size and haven't had any issues with leaking. Though, like many of the other answerers I have not put liquid into them.

I've noticed that one of the three we bought seems to get them but we haven't had a problem with the other two. I have no idea how they got in to the one since the lid appears to fit securely. I ended up just treating the one that I saw a problem in; I wouldn't bother if you haven't noticed any when you open the lid.

I have to say yes. While I haven't put any liquid in mine, the truly secure way the lids fit would indicate a leak proof seal. The lids will be very tight, almost too tight the first time. I them in warm water to soften and have had an easier time since. Lids are still very tight, but that's how I want them.

They hold tight. I'm not putting in the dishwasher though because I don't want them to change their shape. I also bought a set of Anchor Hocking and the lids on the Pyrex are so much better fitting.

I don't have any issues at all. I like that they seal airtight. I put the lids in the dishwasher on the top shelf. I don't know what the company says, but it's been fine for us.

Our experience is that the lids do stay on when needed. However, the lids are not heavy enough to allow stacking bowls on top of each other.
2045011
Yes, they do stay on very well, but they fit inside the bowl so the top part of the bowl is not usable space if you are using the lids. I sometimes use plastic wrap if I need more of the bowl. I am very happy with the bowls. I feel like they are a real value.

As long as you push the lid into groove, it stays on very tight. I am very pleased with mine. I got them about 6-7 months and had no problem.

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.

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.

So far... I have not had this problem with my (4) keepers. When I just looked at one of mine, I noticed that there is a groove in the seal that must fit OVER an inner "ridge" in the top of the lid. It kind of 'snaps' onto that ridge when it is on right. You may not be getting the groove on the ridge properly. If that does not correct the problem, then you may want to return it for a new one. I have used one of mine for almost 2 years and have had no problems.

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.

Nope, the locking parts are stuck to the lid and sometimes flop down and get in the way a bit. They are supposed to fit in a little slot to stay put, but mine don't. Not a big deal and am used to it now. I think that they have a similar model without the locks though.
