Suction Seal Lids

I was just watching the presentation with this Lids and it gave me a thought. I'm going to throw away all my pot and pan Lids and just use these. I'm thinking of all the extra space I'm going to have. YEAH,

Don’t throw anything away until after you have tried these for a while. I have purchased several different versions of suction lids (not this specific set) and I was not pleased with any of them. Be sure you are happy with the new before you get rid of the old tried & true. I donated a few things too soon and wish I had the old stuff back.

I also agree with Havarti! Maybe try them if you want, but don't throw away your lids!

Years ago they had these clear plastic things like this and I purchased them, thinking 'what a great thing'. Well, they died pretty quickly and I'm one who is VERY careful with my things.

At first they seemed like a great idea. But 'idea' was where it stopped. The execution was sadly lacking to the extent that they would not only pop off but they started falling apart in quick order.

@chickenbutt I purchased that same set and had the very same experience you did. You said it perfect, it is a great idea but is apparently not that easy to get it to work longterm. After several offers of these not-so-good lids you would think QVC would do better testing before bringing another version for introduction. Where oh where is the Q (quality) in QVC when it comes to these things?

I have purchased Charles Viancin lids for years. They are sold in a lot of boutique type stores. I love them. I have them in all different versions. They are a pretty thick silicone. I've used them in the fridge and stove top. I clean them in the dishwasher. Definitely worth a try if you are thinking about them. They can be pretty pricey out in the marketplace.
