I've put pots on it without a problem, the one issue I have with it is that the vinyl coating is sensitive to sharp objects and once a small piece is missing it shows signs of rust.

cannot answer for hot plates and hot pots. item is durable for what it is - a sink insert.

The sink protector is pretty durable, I don't know that I have taken a hot pot directly from the stove to the sink - but I have put a very warm pot on them. They hold up pretty well!

No, it is covered wire with plastic, it will not stand up to hot pans. Hot water is about all they are suited for.

Hot pots and pans need to be cooled down with water before placing on sink mats.

Yes this is very durable! The wood is solid and thick. Personally we love the top part. We use every inch of it to store dishes and accessories.

Not if you are going to use them on it. It is a molded plastic, very sturdy but cannot take hot items.

We've been using this product for several months and have never had any problems with our regular set of pots and pans. Nothing special is required.

Ronald I use this daily and have had mine over a year, I even put heavy objects like Pots and stove top grills. Great project and hope this helps!

Yes! It's wonderful! Be sure to first preheat it on HIGH for a while otherwise you won't get a good sear on meat. I think today's glass cooktops are made with "gorilla glass" so they can withstand just about anything.

I have not had any issues with the care of this item. It is easy to clean. It is not super heavy, but, heavy enough. I have cooked several different things in it and not had any trouble with it cooking things too fast because it isn't heavy enough. I is deeper than the blue speckled one that I have. It fits alot of stuff.

I have had my set about five months now. I've not had an issue with the handles getting hot. I love my set!

Yes, it is. But it seems to be pretty durable. I've been using this for over a year, subjecting it to heat, rough handling etc, and it is still going strong.

They feel durable to me, I've used a bunch of them for moving a couple months ago and had no problems with any breaking (even with more load in them then was strictly reasonable). The plastic is a little flexible, so I doubt they are going to crack unless they stiffen substantially over time. I've not owned them for years yet, so can't conclusively say though.

They are fairly durable and hard plastic, I have not tried to use them on something that is currently hot but I am pretty sure as long as you don't let it just sit there then you should be fine.

They are very sturdy and can hold a lot. I've not had issue with hot food on them. I have been told they will hold up in the dishwasher but not personally tried that!

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!

The top is extremely durable. It's able to handle spills and toddlers climbing on it. The whole table is great for a play area. I'm not sure about the material in the top because it is covered with a green coating. The table has lasted through two kids for about 5 years so far and is still going strong.

Very well. They're not extremely thick, but they do seem to heat fairly evenly and I've found that things don't burn badly in them so long as I keep an eye on them. I use these pots constantly and have no complaints.

Yes. We have never had a problem with the handles being too hot. We still use this set everyday! Looks like new!

They are very durable with care. Mine is several years old and still serviceable but showing extreme wear as my wife beat the bottom with metal fork. Usually destroys a skittle in a month. Wash well, inside and out and do not use metal tools in it. Do have problem with egg sticking some. I really like the twenty dollar green pan (sold in various stores in the seen on TV section)just as well .
