If the lid fits, let the pan wear it.
I'm glad I bought it, because now when I need need a lid for my Lodge 12" cast iron skillet, I've got one. the first one amazon sent me, however, had all kinds of scratches into the metal of the handle. But I just sent it back, and they sent me a new one. The second also had a couple surface scratches, but not enough to make me want to return it again. Excellent cover and does what it is supposed to do When I bought this cover to go with the Lodge Logic iron skillet I purchased, I wondered whether I should have bought a glass one instead. I justified buying this because it can go in the oven and they advertised that the moisture is redistributed due to its design. That is absolutely correct. The dripping feature in this cover makes it ideal for cooking things that you will not need to constantly check in order to ensure moisture. It is a solid, well fitting cover that keeps your food in good condition. An added pro is that you can use it on a dutch oven when necessary, making the price easier to stomach. Gorgeous piece of cast iron! This is a very well made and quite beautiful (to a cast iron lover!) lid, and a perfect fit to its matching skillet. I love using the pan by itself, and with the lid it works wonders for slow cooking with the self basting underside. This lid actually seals better than any of my Calphalon Professional Stainless cookware! I've always kind of considered Lodge inferior to Wagner in quality, but this is an excellent buy and the quality is fine, with a very nicely finished appearance. I don't think anything is as well finished as the 70+ year old pieces, but I also don't think anyone who likes to cook with cast iron will be disappointed in this lid as an accessory to its companion skillet, they are a great combination! Multiplied the value of my skillet The title says it all. I've had my 12 inch skillet for a year or so and I've enjoyed it but it was limited by lack of a lid. When I received this cover I started to realize how much more I can do with the skillet. It can be placed in a vented or non-vented position on the skillet, it keeps the moisture in the food, and the pre-seasoning is first class, almost as black as my self-seasoned skillet. If you have the pan, you're missing out if you don't have the cover. Super product Love the skillet, love the lid. The spikes on the inside do an excellent job of making the food extra moist. I thought it was just hype but they really do work wonders. If you're getting the skillet, be sure to get the lid. | |
