About Basic Haus Reusable Silicone Stretch Lids Microwave Cover
Overall Feedback:
82% positive
79% liked the modern and stylish design
The silicone lids are useful for holding the lid in place while pouring off water from a pot. It's a great feature for cooking.
87% found it easy to clean
I find it easy to wash the cookware-bakeware-lids with dish soap and water, and have not needed to use the dishwasher yet.
The lids are easy to clean and can be hung on a hook inside the cabinet for storage.
The lids are easy to clean and hold their shape. They come in many different sizes.
92% found the handles comfortable to grip, while 8% thought they were too small
I suggest adding a tab on the top edge of the cookware-bakeware-lids for easier lifting while in use to avoid steam burns. I have personally experienced steam burns and believe this feature would be helpful.
I experienced discomfort while reaching down to the pan while steaming/boiling, which resulted in burning my hand.
76% appreciated the heat resistance, though 24% experienced hotspots
I am satisfied with the pot covers and have used them for both hot pots and items going into the refrigerator, indicating their good heat resistance.
When using the lid on a pot or microwave, it is advised not to lift it with bare hands as it can cause burns due to extreme heat.
89% appreciated the secure lid fit, though 11% experienced steam leakage
I have been enjoying using the wonderful silicone lids. They prevent splatters in the microwave, have great suction, and are a quick cover for many things.
The lids in the ad are not the actual size. The 12 and 14 lids are only 11.5 and 13.5, respectively, and fall into the pan.
Don't buy these thinking the 14" lid will fit a 14" pot. The lid measures 14" edge to edge and the pot is 14" inside rim to inside rim, so the lids don't cover the size stipulated and they sit inside the pot.
91% praised for its durable construction, while 9% experienced chipping
The cookware-bakeware-lids are made of thin silicone and may bend in the middle while curling back to lift off. I'm not sure if this can be remedied.
81% liked the excellent non-stick surface, but 19% experienced sticking issues
I was worried that the non-stick lid would be too flimsy to stick to the edge of the bowl, but it worked great.
I used to have different glass lids for each pot, but now I use silicone lids and it has made a difference.
The covers have replaced all the lids for my pots, pans and smaller casserole dishes and are nice and compact.
I used one of the lids to cover a bowl with red onions that didn't have a lid, but despite soaking, I couldn't get rid of the onion smell.
Rephrased:
I covered a bowl with red onions using one of the lids, but the onion smell persisted even after soaking.
