Bye bye lock &lock

Has anybody else noticed there’s only 58 pieces. They always has twice that amount I really l like l/l. Hope it’s not I’ll be so disappointed 😢

I did not have a 100% performance from lock & lock and I switched to OXO and selected square glass bottoms but they also have plastic.

I own a LOT of L & L. But within the last maybe year or two I have had to throw pieces out due to pitting and staining and tabs breaking off. I've been using anchor hocking from hsn. True, it's glass but the lids flip inside out for easy cleaning and glass doesn't pit or stain.

I just did a search and there are threads just like this going back to at least 2013 except they dont have a misleading title like this one. .

Isn't this brand available at other places??? Exclusive to QVC??? I just googled it and available, of course, at Amazon and Macy's and maybe others. Why depend on QVC??

DO you proofread and edit your posts or is this meant to be a joke?

Please re-read and/or edit your post. It makes no sense.

I don't need massive quantities of kitchen storage items. I prefer the glass L&L especially because it has the bore silica glass and none of the others do. Pyrex used to but they cheapened their product just like eveybody else, so today's Pyrex isn't your grandma's Pyrex.

I have one what I would consder large set of plastic L&L and don't even use most of it. I have one large container I keep tortillia chips in and I have actually held it by one of the end tabs to put it back into the cabinet since my hand isn't large enough to hold the entire container. No failures in any of them yet. Anything plastic is going to pick up colors from acid sauces like spaghetti sauce.

Sadly, I was putting a couple of my glass pieces (1 L&L and 1 Anchor Hocking) back in the cabinet after washing and, of course, the one I dropped on the floor had to be the L&L.

When I read @Tara811's post, I understood right away what she meant.

I'm sorry that you did not.

Couldn't you have asked your question differently? What an unkind response.

Finally cleaned out my excess plastic LNL and replaced with the HSN TS glass pieces by Anchor Hocking. I also picked up LNL square and smaller rectangular pieces.

I changed my pantry over to OXO canisters and love them!

LNL is a big seller I doubt they're discontinuing but for me I don't need big sets and I no longer buy them.

I have lots of it and have no problems with breakage. I use mine mostly for dry foods like cereal and baking stuff. I prefer glass for wet leftovers. Tabs will break if you try to open them when still frozen or drop when frozen. Did that. Otherwise I like them.

I don't think this brand is going anywhere; the best selling pieces seem to be available all the time, and other popular pieces are rotated in from time to time.

The pieces I bought 10+ years ago are my favorites; the plastic is heavier, the silicone seal is thicker, and the tabs are sturdier, in comparison to what is being sold now.

I will not buy anything else in this brand.

I still have lock & lock pieces I bought in 2002. I've only had one tab break. And that was a container I took out of the freezer and dropped it on the floor.

Like others have said, I've seen lock & lock at Macy's and Home Goods.

I have no clue what the OP is referring to.

L-n-L, in general, has been a bit disappointing. Sets usually have good pricing, but include sizes that are unusable to me. I've also had issues with the flaps breaking off the lids or the containers cracking. Now that it's just DH and I here, we have way too many pieces and need to eliminate some.

I've gotten L&L from Amazon, eBay, and the L&L site itself. Lots of choices out there.

One thing is that sometimes I find that one piece of a set is particularly valuable so I take the item # off the bottom of the vessel and seek out how I can get more of just that one size. More often than not I will find it on Amazon or eBay (I buy 'new' only).

It's a great product but I wish they would not promote using it in the microwave.

At this point, since I have hundreds of them, I am making every effort to not buy more. I wish I could find a replacement lid for one large bowl, though.

Didn't mean to come off rude in my response about "58" pieces(original post)...I thought it meant number of listings too, but that's not the total I saw at the time I looked it up...so it didn't make sense to me....

No matter. It WAS a rude response on my part, and I apologize.

I need to proofread my own posts!!!!
