This multisize lid works as described. The holes allow steam to be released to keep food from getting soggy while still redirecting heat back onto it. It helps minimize splatter while decreasing cooking time. Simple and effective.

For some 12" skillets it will be just shy of a good fit. I have a Lodge 12" cast iron skillet which is a bit large for this lid as well as a Calphalon non-stick skillet. Luckily for me I have lids for both so it's a minor concern. For all other pans in my pantry this lid works fine.

This is a very good cover to keep on hand. It's not bulky when storing and can easily fit inside the dishwasher. The small vents that are interspersed throughout help keep the moisture from building up. It would get 5 stars if it were 12" across. Being smaller, the lid rests on the inside edge of my 12" skillet vs. resting on the top edge. Still okay, but an extra 1/2 inch would be better. It's perfect for my smaller skillets.

This lid works really well for those pots or pans that didn't come with a lid. We use it mostly for steaming things in the frying pans and its versatile size works great. It is a good weight of stainless steel as well.

We leave our frying pan on the stove but of late the cat has developed an obsession with licking it...which is a little gross. Also, the boyfriend likes to cook but apparently can't actually see grease splatters from all his bacon and eggs that coats the stovetop because he never cleans it up.

So this was a solution for both...and it mostly works! Boyfriend likes it as it makes the pan "cook more evenly" he claims, cat licks the top of this instead (still gross, but less so).

It fits the frying pan we have well (11 1/2 in). No warping after several weeks of cooking...nice solid feel.

Only two complaints:
1) The top of the lid gets really greasy (on the outside). I don't know if this is because the cooking grease oozes out the pores? Solved by dishwasher however.

2) There is no indication that I can see to tell whether or not the black plastic knob is oven safe. I'm going to guess not, but some plastic is and gee it would be nice to know! Plastic keeps it cool enough to touch however.

On the whole quite acceptable.

As in marriage, there is a pot for every lid, this is the lid for every pot. Had mine a year now, washes up easily, heavy, durable, dishwasher able, works well with it's steam vents and no more clutter, get two or three and toss out every other lid in the kitchen.

This cover is just the thing. We have several large skillets that have no matching lids. Other "almost fit" lids resulted in condensation dripping onto the glass stove top. This one fit well and no drips. Good solution to a small by pesky problem.

It works fine. It's nice to have a cover now for the pans that don't come with them. I wish there was a smaller version as well.

I originally planned to use this pot cover, which incidentally covers most large pots, when cooking on the stove. However, one time I had placed a pot into the stove to cook (Farberware is okay on this occasion,) and the black handle on top of this pot cover melted and smelled unpleasant to say the least. I hardly used it on top of the stove when this incident happened. The stainless steel did not change, but the unit is almost useless without a handle.
