How to Choose the Correct Lid?
The most important aspect is the diameter. Measure the inner diameter of the pot or pan's top rim (not the outside). Standard sizes are 20, 24, 26, 28 cm. If you have atypically sized cookware or want to save space, a universal lid (with silicone steps) is the ideal solution, fitting 3 different sizes.
Material matters: glass is excellent for visibility, while metal lids are lighter and unbreakable. Ensure the handle is well-insulated against heat.
| Lid Type | Features | Main Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Heat-Resistant Glass | Transparent, stainless rim | Visual cooking monitoring. |
| Universal (Silicone) | Flexible stepped rim | Fits multiple diameters. |
| Splatter Screen | Fine metal mesh | Lets steam out, stops grease. |
Frequently Asked Questions about Lids
Can I use glass lids in the oven?
It depends on the handle material. If the handle is bakelite or plastic, it cannot go in the oven. If the handle is metal or heat-resistant silicone, the lid can be used in the oven up to a certain temperature (check specifications).
What is a universal lid?
A universal lid has a silicone rim with multiple steps (grooves), allowing it to sit tightly on pots of different diameters (e.g., a single lid for 24, 26, and 28 cm pots).
How do I clean grease from the lid rim?
Grease accumulated under the metal rim can be hard to remove. Soaking the lid in hot water with dish soap and vinegar, then scrubbing the area with an old toothbrush is recommended. Most lids are also dishwasher safe.
