Ordered this to use with my eight-inch Lodge cast iron pan. Same quality as Lodge pans, heavy and solid. Pretty straightforward- it does the job for which it was intended and it nests upside down in the pan nicely enough to store easily.

I do wonder why lids cost more than pans, but given none of the Lodge pans and lids are very expensive, especially compared to other cookware with much shorter lifespans, I don't have a problem with it.

Also, kudos to Amazon for continuing to mail even heavy items without shipping charges. That policy, and responsive customer service during this period of price gouging and an enraging lack of customer service across all industries, ensures I remain a loyal customer of Amazon.com. So two thumbs-up, Amazon!

The cheapies don't have the little nipple things that enable better dripping off the lid. Another quality Lodge cast product. After trying several cast brands from cheap to expensive, it's made in the USA Lodge cast iron only for me.

This is fantastic. I never knew that the cast iron line even had lids. They are a perfect fit and extremly heavy!

It's a lid. It's a great little lid but, at the end of the day, I'm just glad it fits the pan and... it's a lid.

The 8" Lodge skillet is great little pan as you probably know. After purchasing it I decided I wanted to add the lid and did so, but there are a couple things you might consider in such a purchase:

1) What was an economical cast iron pan ballooned into $30 for the combo. While cast iron devotees probably won't find this a problem, others might want to consider that a lot of stainless lined aluminum 8" pans come with lids and are available for less.

2) Unlike other Lodge lids, the 8" model doesn't have the "ears" necessary to cover the dual pouring lips on the skillet. This means you're going to lose heat and moisture. This is particularly odd since they cast this model with the "drip spikes" in the lid designed for moisture retention.

3) While this is somewhat subjective, the quality doesn't appear to be the same as the 10" and 12" lids I have for other Lodge products. The casting doesn't appear as smooth and the lid doesn't fit as precisely as the larger lids.

I don't have a gripe against Lodge and, as you can tell by the many glowing reviews, people here on amazon love the product line. I just wanted to add in a little bit of info that's not readily available on the product page to help you make an informed purchase.

This lid is very helpful. If I'm making pancakes, I use my Lodge 8 inch frying pan to make bacon or sausage. Then, if the meat is done before I'm done cooking the pancakes, I just stick this 8 inch lid on top of the frying pan to keep the meat warm while I finish up the pancakes.

Made in the USA.
This cast iron will last a lifetime. I am now cooking most of my meals in cast iron and loving it. These lids have points that allow the moisture from the cooking to condensate on the lid and fall back onto the food as it cooks. Did I mention MADE IN THE USA. Thank you Tennessee.

This product works great with the lodge logic eight-inch skillet.
Also, it mentioned in the product features to hand wash this idea. I just wanted to state that a lot of people told me that it really cannot be put in the dishwasher.

It's Lodge, it's preseasoned, it's cast iron. How could you go wrong? It didn't fit exactly as I'd hoped, but the pan I bought it for isn't a Lodge cast Iron Pan, it was a hand me down, and no idea what brand. The lid fits good enough and when I buy other Lodge cookware, I know it will fit perfectly. One piece of advice, once you get that set of Lodge coookware, make sure it moves wherever you move, one of the few reasons you might ever have to replace it.

I like cast iron, but it is a challenge to keep clean & from rusting. I like the size and find it to be perfect for cooking or re-heating food for my husband, 2yr old, and I. It is a bit heavy, but still I can one-hand it.
