Glass Lid Popping Sound - Normal or Cause for Concern?

[jeninthekitchen5]

Has anyone experienced the glass lid making a popping or crackling sound when removing it from the skillet or after resting countertop? Mine has doen this a couple of times but I've only used it 3-5 times.

Nope, never heard anything like that...

All my lids make that sound. No problem, yet.

I have had my 12" Skillets (SS & Exec) for close to a year and the lids have never made that noise.

But, I just got the 5-piece set and the lid on the 10" skillet was constantly "popping". It is hard to describe - but I know what you mean. The lid would make popping/creaking noises while on the skillet and also when resting on the sink or counter.

Since none of my others did that, I exchanged it. The rep I spoke to had never heard of it - but she still arranged for an exchange. The new lid has not made any popping noises!

Yes! I just got my new Executive Family Skillet w/lid. I used it for the first time last week and it made the popping sound. I noticed it more when I would take it off the skillet (to stir my rice) and after I turned the burner off while it sat on the skillet. Weird....

I've heard it when I left the lid on the counter. I think it has something to do with the heat taking the air out from under the lid. That's just my theory.

I'm glad I'm not the only one! My non-PC glass lid for my old skillet did that. Now my new PC lid for the skillet does it. It does it even while it's just in use, too. I wondered if I should call. But being that my old one did the same thing, I thought maybe it was normal for some reason.

Mine do it too!

That is so weird! Glad I am not the only one. I wonder if we should return them, or if there's no harm. I would hate for the glass to crack one day!

mine do this as well. Thought it was just a temperature change thing.

Yes that's what it is. Mine have always did it.
