Is the plastic lid sturdy? As in will it break easily? Or is it a little bit forgiving and will easily "give" with opening and closing?

Susie, it is sturdy and doesn't look like it will break easily. And yes, it is forgiving. Also, its the kind of plastic that won't break if you drop it.

the lid is great.. it has flexability to it.. so it has good give when opening and closing..

Well. I would say it's study. It takes some force to close, but once closed, it doesn't come off and seems to be plenty sturdy. It hasnt broken. I really like this pan.

Its like a tupperware lid. It is giving. I stored my cheesecake on the bottom of a stack of prepared pans in fridge at holliday time. It worked great!

It can take some abuse and protect the stuff inside (it's silicon, just like a silicon spatula) - the lid is pretty easy to take off, and it is hard plastic.

It's amazing you asked this question: the lid's corners broke off after the frst use! I brought a cornbread to a meeting and after I got it home noticed the crumbled catches... I thought, "Dang, someone opened it wrong!" But then again, how does one improperly open a lid? Good question. Pass on this unless you're extremely cautious when removing the lid... don't let someone else open it. If you write to me at musing1 at verizon dot net I'll send you a photo.

I find it to be sturdy. My daughter with CP is able to open it (non to gently) and it closes okay.

No problems. I love this lid. I bought 2. It been about 6 months. Easy to clean.

I have carried a pie i left in a springform pan and the lid stayed collapsed. It really depends on how heavy it is but its pretty darn sturdy. I love that you can transport decorated goods without worrying theyll de crushed!

The lid clicks when closed but remember you can easily lift the lid with your fingers. I am not sure to what degree you mean "that secure".

I can't answer that question but here is what I can tell you about the lid. It is quite light weight and seems well designed. It does take some persuading to get it to snap onto a standard 5 gal. paint bucket but once on it won't easily fall off. Handle it with reasonable care and it will likely last for awhile. My only complaint, and it is significant, is that instead of making the lid of a durable plastic they made it of a brittle plastic and the lid on mine cracked on the first trip. Admittedly it was packed on a burrow for a rough ride but still should not have cracked so easily. The seat remained useable but the lid had a six inch crack through the middle. Hope this helps.

I'm sure it could break, is made of plastic, but we have had no issues so far and have used it daily for about 2 mos. now.

Yes, very easy open. At first I struggled with closing the lid because I didn't understand that I have to pull the lever with my thumb for opening AND closing! FYI, I have crippled hands from severe rheumatoid arthritis. But I still can do it.

it is hard plastic. I've been using it for a few months now, and the threads inside the lid are stripping a little.

Yep, it has held up for us but just have to make sure the lid is snapped on securely. I wouldn't recommend anything that is of more runny consistency though. If I'm unsure I just put it in a zip lock or snack bag

Knowing toddlers, there isn't much they CAN'T get into. However, this bin is pretty sturdy. I do not believe the lid can be ripped off, or the can tipped over. My only question would be the step-on lever. He may find that fascinating, but may be too difficult for him to push down. Being stainless steel, it wipes clean nicely. I would recommend this one highly. Good luck

It's very sturdy. Only thing is do not bend the lid back by hand. There is a button for it to automatically open the lid. If you open the lid by hand you could get burned or break the lid. We use it daily around 5 - 10 times a day without worry. Cleaning is simple and easy. Just wipe the outside with a wet cloth, rinse the inside if necessary. Very good pot that will hold up for years. I highly recommend it!

That's asking a lot for a thermo-plastic box. Sitting on the corner where it's reinforced....yes; but standing on the lid is too much PSI for this material. That said, it is a strong box w/ four-side latches that is not flimsy at all.

As long as you don't have kids trying to rip the lid off, you'll be fine. I love this can. Have had it about 2 years now and can't imagine the plastic breaking as it is hard, thick plastic....not the soft plastic you often see on cheaper garbage cans. This can is expensive but worth every penny.

The lid is metal so you should be fine and it's attached to the lid and bottle so unless you drop the whole bottle you'll never drop the lid. It's great.
