RSVP UNIV-G Universal Lid w/Glass Insert Review

RSVP UNIV-G Universal Lid w/Glass Insert
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.

I purchased the pressure cooker several month ago. I love it but manytimes I wanted have a normal lid. I did not know it is available until my friend told me. It was very good price too.
I am very glad amazon carries all the lids and sealing rubber parts. Now, I use as normal pot with this lid and pressure cooker which is great. Only thing I wished that the finish of the rim of lid would more smooth.
Well, overall I am very happy wiht it.

Designed to fit four sizes of our pressure cookers, this WMF glass lid is great for viewing the contents in the pot when keeping your meal hot on the stove. Once your preparation is completed using the WMF pressure cooker, simply remove the lid after the pressure is released, and replace with this glass lid. This lid is also a nice accessory piece for those times when you opt to use the pressure cooker as a regular pot on top of the stove, to make sauces or gravies. Lid fits the WMF 3-, 4.5-, 6.5-, and 8.5- quart cookers.

Fagor 9-inch Silicon Gasket Review

The problem with many pressure cookers is the rubber gaskets get hard, and then the cookers won't seal. The new one from Fagor is silicone, so it should last about forever. The original gasket was rubber, not silicone, so this is an improvement.

A rubber gasket's primary purpose is to create a constant tight seal. Over time a gasket can dry out and lose its elasticity. If you notice this happening, replace the gasket immediately. A worn out gasket can lead to steam not building up, or worse, escaping from your cooker.

If you purchase a Fagor cooker, or really any 10 inch pot that does not have a glass lid, this is a good option. Just a lid, but it's a good one.

I happened to purchas Fagor Multirapid Plus 10-Quart not long ago. When I bought this lid, I thought it would work on both of my 6-Quart and 10-Quart pressure cookers since it stated " Fits ALL Fagor pressure cookers" under "Features". It turned out that it did not fit the 10-Quart. The lid just dropped to the bottom of my 10-Quart pressure cooker. This is a great item to own if you have 6-Quart or less pressure cooker. If you have 10-Quart pressure cooker, you are looking at the wrong lid. It's too small for the 10-Quart, therefore it does not fit ALL Fagor pressure cookers. Other than the misleading information, it's a fairly priced and good quality product.
