I have had two of these pans where the covers cracked after a few months of use, Are the current covers any better?

I have only used it a few times so far, but still like new. I only place the cover when the brownies cool off. I was careful not to put the cover on when the pan is hot. I thought that might melt the lid.

I have not had any problem with the cover cracking. My old one was over 10 years old and still looks good, I just wanted a second because I love it so much and things cook soo much better.

I have had mine for about 3 months and have had no problems. I don't put it in the dishwasher though.

I have two pans as well and one I have had for over 10 years and I have never had a problem with the lid. I do not put it in a dishwasher and I never put it on the pan until the pan and contents are completely cooled. I hope that helps

I've only used the covers a few times in the past year and none of them have cracked.

8 months and no issues, also check out TeChef like these better. I did have a problem with one pan in the set so they replaced it and no problems

Yes, I do use a cover. Whatever pan I'm using , is the cover I use. It works wonderfully

Hi Robert! I bought this set 4-6 months ago and they are holding up well so far. My mom also bought a set about 3 months ago and hers are holding up as well. She has limited cupboard space too, so she puts a paper towel between each pan to protect it from the bottom of the one stacked inside of it (simple cheap solution). Hope this helps!

I purchased a new one-quart Revere Ware copper bottom clad saucepan last year and still have my original one as well. The difference between the two is night and day; The older one is heavier and has a wider ring of copper on the bottom.The whole pan is lighter than the old one and feels less sturdy. I would not want to leave anything in it on warm/lo for very long without being there to watch over it. I did not buy a new lid to go with the new saucepan; the old lid dos fit it.

Beware buying these pans, I purchased a set of Belgique copper bottomed saucepans about seven years ago. They came with a for life warrantee. Now the thin copper layer is beginning to peel off on two of the saucepans. I was told by Macy's that this is not covered under warrantee which only applies to manufacturing defects. I was also told that it was my fault for using too much heat (gas) and that these pans must only be used with low or medium heat. Nothing in the instructions say this.

If the question you really want answered is are these pans as heavy as others that are offered at slightly higher prices then it is no. These pans are a bit thinner than most of the other commercial pans that I have used. I do not use them in a rough manner but have had the corners bend a couple of times. The lids warp for a time when exposed to higher temps but will eventually flatten out. These would likely be apperpo for light duty but over the long term will fall short of satisfaction... Mine did.

My original porcelain pans that came with the range have rusted and need replacing. I am shopping now for some. So yes Linda, rust is an issue.

I have not had any problem with these pans and I've been using them for several months. They are probably not the best pans for ultra-high heat gas flame cooking, but are perfectly fine for electric cooktops. They clean up beautifully. I really could not be more pleased with this set. It's a great price for very good quality.

Yes, we have had this set for over a year now and we cook just about every day. The pans have held up well and the lids fit. I will say they aluminum is "thin" and by that I mean it can dent if you really slam it or jam it up against another pan. But to date we only have one dented piece and it didn't adversely chip the coating.

This cover showed some cracks in 4 months with a moderate use and became unusable in 6 months. I do not see any difference in durability between this cover and any of others I had before.

It sounds like your pan warped in the middle like my old, less expensive one did. This is a much better quality than the others are. Weighs more and has a different interior surfacing. This one is FLAT and should stay that way, too.

I actually got two years from the first cover, although near the end it was leaking a lot. The replacement seems to be of less quality as it shows seam splits after 4 months. I anchored the frame and it is solid and no issue at all.

They are a heavy pan and so not feel cheaply made at all. I use them on a gas burner. No issues the first few months then good started to stick to the non-stick surface.

I have used mine numerous times and have yet to have an issue with it. I am in love with these pans!

I haven't had the pan for over a year yet so unfortunately I can't answer you on that. I have had it for 2 months and so far it has been extremely durable. I use the Ozeri pan cover that came with it anytime I store the pan away so it won't get scratched easily.

They don't really go bad unless they have been used a LOT and roughly. I wouldn't put the top on the lower rack of your dishwasher and use high heat for drying, but I honestly never ruined one. I had a set of these I bought several years ago and, one by one, kept having the experience of not getting them back when I loaned them out. Never had one with a hole in it or whose top stopped fitting or whatever. I like them better than any of my other bakeware - even the expensive stuff.
