If the lids don't lock in place, then won't they come off if you are draining all the water out when cooking pasta?

I always hold the lid with a pot holder while draining the water out with the other hand. I have not found that to be an issue.

Yes they do . My lids now fall through. If I had it to do over I would make sure the lid was hinged

I've never had trouble getting lids on and off unless the bowl has just been taken out of the freezer, but after it sits a minute, it comes right off. The bowls and lids ARE dishwasher safe, but I never put lids in due to warping.

Yes, lids come off easily. My only complaint is that the letters fade out real quick.

no - the lids fit very tightly and tried with water in the glass part, with lid and turned it upside down and not a drop.

no, but some steam comes out of the top. if your cooker is spitting water maybe you left the inner lid off (there is a removable inside bowl and lid)

Definite NO. The lid has a gasket and screws on tight. I know they can get into just about anything but these are secure from them. They also keep out the moisture. I use mine for my wood chips for my smoker and have had no problems with them being tight the lid is on.

The lid snaps on securely but when tested with water, it does run out of the handle area. This isn't a problem since I only use this dish to transport cooked casseroles and the dish sits snugly in the carrying case. You would need a lot if liquid in your dish and tip it quite a bit to loose any liquid contents.

All of the other answers are correct however if u have thick lids I wouldn't recommend this product. I have 1-2 in thick lids and it is hard to get them in an out of the slots.

They do break off. When the first one did I gave them to my daughter. Good idea....never having to hunt for lids but they didn't go the next step of durability.

I stack them with the lids on. I wouldn't stack them with the lids off as they could get stuck.

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.

This might sound funny, but we found that you need to make sure you don't put the lid on too tight. If you do then nothing comes out.

No. I have used the lids and have not experienced this as a problem. The pans are awesome, I love them!

It's easy to drain the water at the pour spout. No, the lid only sits on top. You drain the pasta without using the lid.

The lids push on and seal quite tightly. They're very handy to use just be sure you put them in the upper rack of the dishwasher

I have had a little issue with the casserole lids not having a tight fit after being used in the microwave. I have not had any leaks taking them to work, but I don't really challenge the seals either as they are always in a lunch box and not bounced around very much. The cup lids still fit tightly.
