10 1/4" Lodge Cast Iron Lid
I have the 10 1/4" lid. While this lid does not come with the "flanges" to cover the side spouts as described (it comes as shown in the picture), it is a great addition to my cast iron cookware and I now want the 12" lid for my 12" skillet.There is enough of a lip that the side spouts are pretty well covered (some steam escapes). The spikes on the lid seem to be helpful and aren't too much trouble in cleaning in my opinion.
A tip: If you are looking for a lid for your skillet and have a need for a dutch oven, you can get both by ordering one of the 5 or 7 quart dutch ovens. I believe the 5 qt. dutch oven has a 10 1/4" lid and the 7 qt. dutch oven has the 12" lid. This is more economical than buying a lid by itself (if you have need ... Read More
Just what I needed!
My ancient dutch oven originally came with a glass lid, which was broken many years ago during a move... I'd never gotten around to replacing it, and so rarely found uses for the dutch oven.
The Lodge lid fits my "other brand" pot perfectly, and has given a nearly-forgotten utensil a new lease on life.

I looked at it like this:
The 5 Qt. Dutch Oven cover fits the 10 1/4" skillet.
The 10 1/4" cover is $16.99
The 5 Qt. Dutch Oven is $26.99
If I subtract what I'd spend for the 10 1/4"cover, the D.O. Only costs $10.00 more. That's a big hunk of iron for a mere $10.00.
I did the same thing by buying the 7 Qt. D.O. with Spiral Handle because the cover fits my 12" skillet.
Also, I found a brush that works very well to clean the pans and lids Power Tip Dish & Glass Brush
Those juicer spikes really do work!
I'd just thought I'd chime in and confirm that the much acclaimed juice spikes built into this solid lid really does keep the food being cooked (I use it mostly for meat) juicy and tender by dripping the moisture evenly back into the food.

Gotta have the lid!
This fits with the Lodge 10-1/4 inch cast-Iron skillet perfectly. If you're getting (or have the skillet) it only makes sense to have the matching lid. That said - this lid is almost as heavy as the pot itself... so beware. :)
