  9. Kathleen A. (store manager)

    I was very happy to know that I could get a replacement valve for a lid to my small pot that I have had for 17 years. And it shipped pretty quickly during this pandemic.

  10. Scarlet E. (store manager)

    Just what I needed and it fit perfectly!

  11. Sharon K. (store manager)

    The replacement valve fit my cookware lid perfectly!
    Thanks. Arrived quickly!

  12. Cheryl F. (store manager)

    The handle on my lid for my Kitchen Craft pot had snapped off while cooking. The CSR was awesome in working with me to determine which handle to send me and ensured I understood how to replace the handle and valve when it arrived. My replacement arrived within a few days and changing it out was easy. The new valve works better than the original ever did.

  13. Greg L. (store manager)

    Good

  14. Jeanane W. (store manager)

    It was easy to find the correct replacement part and it arrived quickly.

  17. Sheri J. (store manager)

    Love the cookware! I have had mine for about 15 years. The only negative is that I have had to replace the knobs more than once because they keep breaking in the same place.

  18. John B. (store manager)

    very simple repair

  19. Monica A. (store manager)

    Awesome, I received my replacement whistle valve at no time, I have the large kitchen Craft set, I have it for 18 years and still looks brand new. I love it…. simple the best.

  20. Karen U. (store manager)

    An exact match and very easy to install!

  32. Laura D. (store manager)

    Happy to have received my replacement k one for what I’ve always referred to as my “Magic Pans”

  33. Linda B. (store manager)

    I would have given this purchase an excellent except for the fact that the knob doesn't fit snug to the lid. But, I will say it works ok. Too bad the shipping and handling cost more than the replacement parts and felt that it should have been under the lifetime guaranty and not be charged for it. Oh, well.

  34. Ray H. (store manager)

    Great product, replacement part were easy to find.

  40. Diane L. (store manager)

    Great customer service, received whistle valve in a few days, and easy to replace our broken one. We are so happy to have our lid working again.

  41. Rosa V. (store manager)

    I was very pleased with the kit, it fit just right. I will say that I was disappointed with the shipping price because it was more than my purchase price. In all, I was glad to replace the broken part and I am able to use the cookware. I now have a few parts I did not need but I am happy. Customer service was great! I received call backs on my messages and they were very helpful. I was very please with the experience.
    Thank you!

  69. Ann I. (store manager)

    Great service! Perfect fit!

  70. Lydia S. (store manager)

    The part came and I was able to install without issue. Thank you

  71. Sylvia L. (store manager)

    Right item was received in a relatively short time span. I so love my waterless cookware. I accidentally put the lid over a pot, in a too hot oven and the handle cracked and broke off. My favorite thing about the cookware is to bring veggies to a boil, then turn them off and then they are done in just a few minutes, time and energy saving.

  72. Debra P. (store manager)

    It didn't fit immediately. My husband had to take it out to the garage and make some kind of adjustment. Then the first couple of times that I used it the valve wouldn't close completely, but after that it has worked fine.

  73. Christopher J. (store manager)

    Works great, just like new again.

  74. Dawna R. (store manager)

    Repair to my pot that is over 20 years old. Good as new again.

  75. Anita R. (store manager)

    It was an easy install and seems to be working very well. I hope that this one last longer than the original skillet knob. It seems that the vapor emitted in use broke down the plastic around the screw portion of the knob. However, the new one is great so far!
    Anita

  76. Andrea S. (store manager)

    After we ordered correct lids all went smooth and they are easy to install

  77. Janie P. (store manager)

    The part is exactly what I needed. It comes with no directions how to get the old knob off and install the new knob.

  78. Kirby T. (store manager)

    .

  79. Sara C. (store manager)

    Part was as described. Was more than twice as expensive as quoted by representative on the phone, but still affordable. Lifetime Warranty is kind of a joke when you have to pay for shipping both ways, so it’s more expensive than buying the part outright. I’ve spent over $1,800 on Kitchen Craft, and you couldn’t sent me a $12 part in the 15 years I’ve owned them. The representative said you couldn’t afford to – really? How often does your stuff break? I’ve had one thing wear out in everyday use in 15 years. I love your merchandise…. your warranty, not so much.

  80. Bernie S. (store manager)

    My wife was expecting just a replacement handle for a pan cover. So She was really surprised when she received the addition to her cookware.

  81. Ron G. (store manager)

    Great prompt service

  82. Catherine R. (store manager)

    I have had my cookware for 21 years now and have only had one vapor valve break. Best set of pots and pans have. Well worth the money. The replacement part, the vapor valve, I received was an exact match to the original. I have no idea if it was under warranty and I really didn’t care since I’ve had them for so long.

  83. David M. (store manager)

    Excellent quality and excellent service.

  84. Liesel H. (store manager)

    This was exactly what I needed to replace. Perfect fit and match for my lid.

  85. Greg M. (store manager)

    great

  86. Mike S. (store manager)

    Easy to install, works great and looks good.

  87. Leonard C. (store manager)

    Exactly as needed. Great service

  88. Daniel G. (store manager)

    Parts fit…

  89. Richelle W. (store manager)

    I bought a set of pots and pans with a LIFETIME, UNCONDITIONAL WARRANTY. To get the wrong handle for the pan is bad enough but to have to pay for it is over the top. Not only will I not fall for ANY spiel that includes an unconditional warranty, I doubt seriously that I'll buy anything from a salesman again.

  90. Charles Y. (store manager)

    Fits lid well, however I sent picture of replacement needed and was told this is what I needed does not match original knob . Was disappointed that I had to purchase complete set and not just the correct knob.

  91. Gregory K. (store manager)

    Perfect fit replacement part. Arrived very soon after order was placed. Love this cookware!

  92. Barbara H. (store manager)

    Used as replacement knob. Excellent! Now I would like to know which handles would go with this pot used with this lid. It’s the pot that goes on the slow cooker plate. West Bend.

  93. Jerry L. (store manager)

    I replaced the knob which had broken when it was dropped.
    NowI have a “new “ pan.

  94. Janice W. (store manager)

    Very easy to replace.

  95. Cheryl T. (store manager)

    Service was excellent with good communications. My handle fit perfectly and performed as it should. I could not be happier with my order or this company. I love my cookware.

  96. Marcia C. (store manager)

    It works really good thank you.

  97. Martha L. (store manager)

    one of the vapor valves was damaged on a recent move. Thankfully replacements are available. Thank you Kitchen Craft!

  98. Vincent T. (store manager)

    Exactly what I needed, easy replacement and fast shipping.

  99. La P. (store manager)

    Perfect fit replacement top for my pot lid.

  100. Julius D. (store manager)

    I am impressed with the cookware so far. The heat transfer is amazing.

  101. Linda S. (store manager)

    Kitchen Craft – P542-19J – Vapor Valve 3 Kit is much better than the original.

  102. Lydia S. (store manager)

    Exactly what I needed for my lid just great !

  103. K L. (store manager)

    The vapor valve replacement kit worked as advertised!

  104. Tina S. (store manager)

    The vapor valve kit is a perfect match. The parts were easy to look up and order.

  105. Irene D. (store manager)

    Shipping charges are too much.

  106. Catherine L. (store manager)

    Exactly what I needed! Arrived on time!!

  107. Gerardo M. (store manager)

    Can’t review, haven’t received product,

  108. Penelope R. (store manager)

    I am very pleased with my experience with kitchen craft! I have had my cookware for almost 20 years! And use it daily. My lid handles just wore out in time, and kitchen craft stood behind the warranty I received at the time of purchase. A wonderful company.

  109. Marcia G. (store manager)

    The lid is usable again. thank you

  110. Vickie H. (store manager)

    Guess the lifetime warranty isn’t all it made out to be.

  111. Maureen C. (store manager)

    Fit perfectly on lids that are 17+ years old.

  112. Jack C. (store manager)

    .

  113. Pamela F. (store manager)

    It still isn’t the right replacement part. I have been waiting for someone to return my call.

  114. Henri B. (store manager)

    PRODUCT IS GREAT,HOWEVER , SERVICE IS BAD, ;YOU SHIPPED WRONG PART AT FIRST, HAD TO RE-ORDER, AT MY COST. I'M NOT A HAPPY CUSTOMER

  115. KarenL L. (store manager)

    The part was fine except I only needed part of it. When I ordered it I couldn't find a piece with only the section I needed. Since, you have advertised only the part I needed at a lesser price

  116. Bruce G. (store manager)

    There nice fit ! Had our set since 2000 . But they are alittle pricey !

  117. Marissa T. (store manager)

    I was so happy to find this. I received my cookware as a housewarming gift for my first apartment 20 years ago from my grandmother and love them! When my most used lid knob broke off I was so bummed. Remembered this stuff has a lifetime warranty so I jumped on their website to see what I could do to get it fixed but found it’s not covered. Then I saw they sell this replacement valve kit for only $12. Whew I was okay with that, it probably would’ve cost more to ship the lid to get fixed anyway if it were covered under warranty. I bought 2 and when they arrived it was easy to replace the broken one and fit perfectly!

  118. Janis L. (store manager)

    Could not get it to work

  119. noel H. (store manager)

    Grateful to be able to replace knob on my double boiler and get the correct plug for my electric skillet. My set is twenty years old and I intend to leave it to my granddaughter who loves to cook. These pots are made in USA of great quality. Made to last generations.

  120. JoAnn H. (store manager)

    Perfect like new, quick and easy to install.
