I purchased this lid because my old glass lid trapped used cooking oil between the metal rim and the glass, where it could not be removed. This lid does not have any such problem. The metal is thin, so the lid is fairly light, weighing 0.7 lbs. It should fit pots and pans with an inner diameter between 9.5 inches (the diameter of the lid's recessed portion) and 10.5 inches (the lid's overall diameter). Overall, this is a very good product, the one downside being that the handle becomes too hot to touch after a few minutes.

This is a simple 2-layer stainless steel cover with a riveted handle. The handle attachment is extremely secure, but the shop-end of the rivet looks like it was deformed with a hammer far from a nice round factory rivet look. Fits a 8" pot perfectly. The inside diameter of the lip is 7-1/2", the outside is 8-3/16". The surface is brushed metal, but not mirror-polished, has some scratches and discolorations out of the package. Made in the USA.

This cover fits the classic Lodge frying pan so well that you can vent out of one if the pan's pouring spouts if you want to. I would have liked thicker material but it's OK and looks good. Made in Minnesota USA!

Honest reviews on Nordic Ware Restaurant Brushed Stainless-Steel Lid

I bought a Nordic Ware Texas Skillet on markdown at the local big box store. It did not come with a lid. While the pan is described as 12". the inside diameter of the pan is about 11 and 7/8, and the outside diameter to the edge of the curled rim is about 12 1/2. I wondered if this lid would fit.

Ift fits like a dream.

The lid has a flat rim about 1/2 inch wide giving the lid an outside diameter of about 12 7/8".

You can see from the picture the dome of the lid is set below the flat rim. On the underside the protruding circle of the dome is about 11 3/8"

As long as the outside rim-to-rim diameter of your pot is not a lot bigger than 12" (to let the flat rim of the lid rest on the rim of your pot)

And the inside diameter of your pot is not smaller than about 11 7/8" (so the dipping part of the lid can fit inside your pot

It will fit great.

This is the same lid design I got in my Nordic Ware Restaurant 7-Piece Cookware Set. The largest lid in that set is 10 inches, based upon similar measuring technique. This 12" lid is also stainless steel, made in USA, and slightly less polished than the Restaurant lid.

These are the greatest lids. They sit flat on the pot. They do not rattle or shake. Instead of building up steam and boiling over they let steam out so evenly you cannot see it. The kitchen gets less steamy. The dropped dome must be part of it.

I love it. Everyone should have a set of these lids.

Made in USA! Pass it on!

I bought this from Amazon along with a 12 inch non-stick frying pan:

The pan is great but the lid is kind of flimsy by comparison. It did not fit well when it arrived but I realized it was slightly bent and was able to bend it with my hands and now it fits perfectly. It was not worth the hassle of returning for another one since it was so easy to unbend but that just indicates the thin metal.
