The product, in the report: Oneida’s glass cover (lid) of stainless steel 5 quart dutch oven (pot) 62400-5
Re: glass cover (lid) of Oneida stainless steel 5 quart dutch oven (pot) 62400-5, photos attached
Purchased from Kroger less than 10 years ago as part of a 10 piece cookware set
4-20-2018 In the evening, I put beans covered with water in the pot covered with lid to soak at room temperature overnight. In the morning, I tuned on the electric stove top burner and slowly cooked the beans for a few hours, stirring about every 20 minutes. I then added cooked meat, tomatoes, liquids, celery and spices and turned the burner up from simmer to low (2 out of 10) and continued to cook and stir the soup. It came to a low boil. About an hour later, I removed the lid and held it with my left hand and stirred the soup with my right hand. THE LID EXPLODED IN MY HAND, I WAS LEFT HOLDING ONLY THE HANDLE! THERE WERE TINY PIECES OF GLASS AND GLASS DUST ALL OVER THE KITCHEN.
I am so thankful that my grandchildren were not present, they had recently visited, and none of the pets were in the kitchen as they often are when I am cooking. Also I was wearing glasses which gave me some eye protection. I had only 3 tiny pieces of glass imbedded in my skin which I was easily able to remove.
An internet search revealed that many others have experienced glass cookware spontaneously exploding, often when simply setting in a cupboard at room temperature. It seems that items that do this are tempered soda-lime-silicate glass, made in China since 1998. Consumer affairs .com lists dozens of incidents of Oneida glassware exploding. Sadly, although several people have been seriously injured, Oneida is not the only manufacturer that continues to sell tempered soda-lime-silicate. Most older bakeware was made from annealed borosilicate in the USA. This type is more likely to break if it is dropped or bumped and when it does break, the glass is in shards. Oneida claims that their tempered soda-lime-silicate has equal to or greater thermal shock resistance than annealed borosilicate glass bakeware. I do not want a replacement glass cover lid for my 5 quart dutch oven because it is not safe to use. I never want to have another experience like the one described above. I do not want the glass cover lids for my 3 quart sauté pan ([REDACTED]) or my 1 ([REDACTED]) and 2 ([REDACTED]) quart saucepans. I saved the handle and rim of the shattered lid. Please send me a prepaid postage label and I will return the remains of the shattered lid and the other 3 lids to you. I do not see that Oneida makes a stainless steel lid. If they do, I would like stainless steel replacement lids for all 4 pans. If they do not, I would like a refund of $10 per lid so I can try to find a suitable substitute and $10 to help cover the cost of the ruined soup ingredients, totaling $50.
Thank you for your attention to my report and request.
I called Oneida’s contact number on 4-23-18 and was told to email them with my story, which i did the same day. Today is 5-1-18, more than 1 week later, and I have received no response, not even that they received my email.
