does the pan/lid, secure/ fit snugly to the pot when stored? I just got the Snow Peak Trek 900 Titanium Cookset and the lid falls off all to easy

No - It doesn't fit snugly. If you push the lid in place as shown in the photo and then turn everything upside-down the lid will fall off.

The pan/lid fits snugly, but it is a *friction* fit. I don't go around turning mine upside down a whole lot. Also, just about the only time I have my lid in place is when I'm about to put it in the included stuff sack (which fits around the whole setup *very* snugly). With the drawstring on the stuff sack pulled tight, I'm supremely confident that everything will stay in place. Hope this helps. I don't use the pan portion of this unit very often, but the 1100ml pot is very nice and I use it a lot.

Mine fits fine very happy with my toaks 1100ml ti pot I also have the 750ml cup I use every day with my coffee

The lid is loose when on top of the pot. You need to use the provided stuff sack to keep everything secure. Although it adds a little weight, the sack is kind of nice as it has a sleeve in it to hold a spork securely.

The lid stays on just fine. In fact, if my husband is already asleep and i want to make a late night cup of tea, i fill the pot with water earlier in the evening and have it ready, becuase putting the lid on and clicking it in makes a noise. it fits tight and does not leak. i am very happy with mine. the handle is stationary, so you have to finagle the lid a bit to get it in and clicked tight. but i have arthritis and i can do it so it's no big deal. dee jaquet

Heat should not escape from the lid. I had mine for just over a year and then it just died. I replaced with a much cheaper crock pot and have had no issues.

The handles are screwed on to the pot and do periodically come loose. The good news is that the screws are easily tightened. This version of the handle, by the way, is better than the original.

mine fit great but I never put the pot or lid in the dishwasher. I hand wash all pots and lids after they have cooled.

We did not experience that issue with our cooker. However, we threw ours out after the handle broke off while transferring the cooker from the cooktop to the work surface. We think it is poorly made so not surprised to hear of your problem with it.

Yes, I had to bend the top back so the smallest lid did not fall thru. All lids handles were angled and slid towards left right left to settle down on that u knob side. I have it on the wall above my stove. Looks good and works find and is sturdy. Trying to center lids with handles does not work and getting the lids out require alwaways taking other lids out to get the one you want. Now I can liftout the lid I want.

The saucepan lid fits well on the smaller skillet; however, the larger lid (for the stock pot) does not fit the larger skillet. I discovered this recently when making a one-dish meal in the larger skillet that required covering and simmering. I had to improvise. Not sure if the skillet lid is available in open stock...that's my next idea.

Hello Shawn, I bought my lid for a 14" pan must I must say that the lid I bought is a great fit. I can use both together and the lid fits snuggly into the top edge of the pan, almost as if it had been made together. When cooking the lid allows me to watch my meal being prepared while keeping all of the moisture inside the pan. Things I cook don't dry out. When I need to lift the lid off it comes away such that the moisture will remain in the cooking pan if I want or get let out to begin the "drying" of the meal.

If what you are asking is- when the cup-lid sits on the lower pot, is the complete assembly watertight, then no, it is not water tight, it's not even tight, it just sits there. Having said that, I can store an standard gas pancake cylinder, upside down in the pot, and in the concave void of the cylinder I keep my Pocket-Rocket stove and lighter, then the cup-lid sits over that, and the whole thing fits inside the drawbag which came with the set. A new Jetboil does the same thing, but since I already had the stove and needed a lightweight pot to boil a couple of cups at once to replace a damaged pot, this was a good cheap alternative. Good luck. If what you are asking is- when the cup-lid sits on the lower pot, is the complete assembly watertight, then no, it is not water tight, it's not even tight, it just sits there.

I have the covered stock pot with glass lid. It's the one from the set which costs $49.99. Wish I'd gotten the whole set. I make chili & soups in the big pot & when it's empty, I rinse it out & put it in the dw. It's still red speckled & the Teflon finish is unharmed. My hubby bought another brand (set) in black. It says NOT to put it in dw. We put a couple of pots & steamer in dw & it discolored it inside & out. He paid more for his than this set. I'm thinking of ordering the set & will put it in the dw.

The lid is not heavy but it fits deeply and snugly into the pot. That should keep it in place through an average low rolling boil, but it's not a pressure cooker and I'm sure a fast boiling large volume of liquid could push it up.

Yes, the lid has a tab to the rear to secure it during pouring. It won;t fall off as you pour.Unfortunately, the lid does occasionally get wedged, at least with my pot, perhaps because the lid is slightly oval, so the fit is a little tight; it can be difficult at times to move the lid and take it off. This might not be true of every pot - it could be an aberration, rather than a feature.

no. The lid fits very loose so that it is easy to serve. I used cling wrap and a rubber band on the pot itself then set it in the black pot. I then put the lid on. It did keep the soup from spilling out. I hope that helps.I love the soup Kettle and would buy it again. But it is not for travel for sure.

Yes, a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pans, and to the sides and top of pan. I took a magnet from my refrig. and tried it. The pans are very light weight and not a heavy weight of stainless steel and after cooking in it, leaves like a rust stain that I have to scrub out after every use. I don't know what's up with that?? The Top Lid part that locks, is held in place by a little piece of straight metal that is not screwed in or anything to the side of the pans, and they come out all the time. This is dangerous when trying to pour hot water out of the tops and the pins fall out and let the lid fall off. Now the lids won't lock either because I lost the pins and didn't notice they had fallen out. For the money it was ok. But the next time I'll buy a more expensive set, and hopefully the lids will lock on right. I still use the big pot, and I hold the lid on while I pour liquid off. D.Wright

Sorry, wish I could be more help. Mine was an older model as well and it was trial & error. I did find that as long as you go with the same brand as your cooker, odds are you'll get a seal if it fits the lid. Be sure to take gasket out when not in use and store separate from lid

I agree with Seppi below. Great wok. We only use the lid if we are steaming vegetables or to keep the finished meal warm, so it doesn't get crazy hot. It is metal, so you may need a pot holder, but it is a nice shape to grip with a hot pad.
