I purchased the Farberware 12-Inch Glass Lid thinking it would fit my Farberware 12-Inch Deep Skillet. Silly me. It didn't fit. Not even close. It seems that while the curved side of the skillet arcs down to the base directly from the edge, the lid has a lip that is more or less perpendicular to its edge - an incompatible state of affairs. After spending a little time audibly pondering the mental capacity and pedigree of whoever at Farberware was responsible for this SNAFU, I "fine-tuned" the lip of the lid with a pair of blunt nose pliers and thumb/forefinger pressure to achieve an acceptable fit. My wife is satisfied so all is well.

Realizing that a lot of Amazon shoppers probably would not take this course of action, I am submitting this review to advise fellow deep skillet lid seekers to look elsewhere for a lid that fits "out of the box" and to remind everyone that sometimes the 12 inches you're looking for is not the 12 inches you get. So be careful out there.

Well, what can you say about a lid? I think it does its job fine! I love these see-through lids, watching the steam fogging the pan, and then forming drops of water on the surface, which accumulate, accumulate, and suddenly flow back to the pan! Ah! The poetry of cooking! No, seriously, it's a good lid. It also has a small hole that allows excess steam to get out.

I bought his lid for my Analon 12" pan, and it fits it like a glove. I use it frequently and it always performs well. I just throw it in the dishwasher for a quick clean up.

Part of alluminum edge on the ring was slightly pushed in, looks like the part where it joins together, however it still holds a nice seal on my 12 inch pan. Rubberized handle does not get hot so you don't need a pot holder to remove the lid.

It is so nice to have a lid that will fit the 12 inch Tfal skillet. Other brands of lids do not fit the 12 inch Tfal. Another plus is being able to see what is cooking without lifting the lid.

We purchased a 12" Rachel-Ray fry pan, but it didn't come with a glass lid, so we got this - and ta-dah! It works!.

Sturdy, well-made. Just doesn't work with the T-Fal pan I needed it for. I knew I was taking a chance but hoped it would fit well enough. If the edges of the lid were slanted inward instead of 90 degrees, it would work much better. I may have to try the pliers fix as a previous reviewer did... though I hate to really screw up the lid.

Bought this to fit over my Cuisinart 12" pan and it fit perfectly. I was apprehensive at first because of the reviews, but took a chance. Glad I did because this Farberware 12" lid fits just as I wanted.

Fits the 12" skillet I ordered it for like a glove.. Also, two other cookware items. Great value.

I bought this pan for my new skillet and use it a lot. I like being able to watch my food cooking. My only complaint is that the lid does not have a steam hole like my Lodge lid does.
