Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The reason I got this lid is because I have two saute pans that did not come with lids. Sometimes, I want to turn off the heat but cover the saute pan so that heat is trapped in. The manufacturer of this lid makes several claims suggesting the lid would work well for my purposes. They characterize it as a "universal lid." They say that the lid specifically fits "saute pans" that have a diameter of 7" to 12". They also claim the "inner ridges provide a customized fit." This is all very misleading. After trying out the lid, I now realize that most saute pans, including mine, have a handle that extends upward -- higher than the plane of the rim. So when you attempt to rest a wide lid like this on the rim of the pan, the handle is in the way. It will never lie flat. So for my 8" saute pan, this lid is pretty much worthless. My 10" saute pan is big enough so that the lid ALMOST rests flat on the rim. So if you have a saute pan that is more than 10", it might work for you.
By the way, the lid is very flat. The "ridges" really don't change anything in that regard. It's also very thin and light. The manufacturer claims that the lid is 18/10 stainless steel. That may be, but it is a very thin 18/10 stainless steel. I have mostly KitchenAid and All-Clad cookware made of 18/8 or 18/10 stainless steel. I don't consider the stainless steel in this lid to be anything like my cookware. The quality of the thin metal used in this lid is much more comparable to the inexpensive pots and pans that you find in department stores. Aside from that, the lid seems to be structurally sound.
