Let me start out by saying, I don't keep 2 lids of the same size just because one is glass and came with the pot and the other is stainless. I hate messing with lids. I pick which one of one size I want to keep and that's it. Frankly I'm not a big fan of the glass ones... they are heavy and if I want to see what I'm cooking I can always lift the lid. So when I went to choose a universal lid, glass wasn't an option for me. I have this lid rack:

And it stores about 7-10 lids for me. But in the year or more since I bought my universal lid, I have never taken a lid out of this rack to use. In fact, I'm thinking about offloading all my lids and putting cutting boards and other stuff in the lid storage.

My universal buddy is always within reach of the stove. I've put this bad boy in the dishwasher too and it's come out great. Usually I hand wash it though because I don't want to wait for it.

I'm always tempted to buy another one in fear that something would happen to universal buddy. But that would defeat the purpose of having a universal lid now wouldn't it. Get this lid... you won't regret it.

For a generic reasonable price, it does the job of covering all those different sizes of fry pans that come without a lid. It is used almost every day.

The only problem I've encounter is that it won't fit on some of my smaller pans that have an upward tilted handle. But this is problem just because the pan is poorly designed.

This lid is great, and fits all my frying pans which came without lids. I like that it has a steam vent, which can be closed or opened as you see fit. Everybody should have a universal lid, and this one, being stainless, is easy to clean and would meet your needs in every way.

I THINK THIS ITEM IS REALLY CLEVER...AND FOR THE PRICE, IT CAN'T BE BEAT. IT'S ATTRACTIVE AND CLEANS UP VERY WELL. IN ADDITION, IT DOES WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO DO...NAMELY COVERS PANS FROM 7" TO 12". FOR SOMEONE LOOKING FOR A COVER FOR DIFFERENT SIZE PANS AND HASN'T THE ROOM FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL PAN, THIS IS PERFECT.

This lid is well constructed, nice heavy stainless steel and heavy duty riveted handle but it has ONE BIG ANNOYANCE: It is skimpy in diameter. I have a 12 inch skillet and this lid just isnt large enough diameter to cover it nicely. Sure, it lines up exactly at 12 inches, but dont vibrate your skillet or the lip tips off. Too bad the company didnt make it 3/8 inch more diameter with a down-turned lip to keep it secure on your pot or fry pan. If you are buying this for a 12 inch utensil, look elsewhere because this just wont be satisfactory.

This lid is perfect for larger (10"-12") frying pans. The lid is very sturdy, with a handle that won't come off like some of the other universal lids. The downside, as someone else noted, is that it doesn't work well with smaller pots that have handles that angle upward; the handle prevents the lid from lying flat. The basic design is good, though--I just wish they had a smaller version as well.

Reasonably good quality stainless lid. For those needing dimensions, they are:

Overall outside diameter: 12 3/8"
Diameter inside rolled edge: 12 1/8"
Diameter across dome: 7 3/4"
Height of dome: 1 1/2"

So, the largest pan this lid will work well on is, say, 12 1/16". Beyond that, the rolled edge will prevent a stable fit.

I LOVE IT!!! IT COVERS MY ALL-CLAD AND ANOLON SKILLETS AND MY MEALS TURNED OUT "GREAT." I AM IMPRESS WITH THE QUALITY OF THE LID AND THE PRICE IS RIGHT. I HAD ORDER OTHER ITEMS AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TO ARRIVE WITHIN A FEW DAYS. IF YOU WANT AN INEXPENSIVE SKILLET/LID COVER I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS.

I just received my Lid, and it's excellent! I finally have a lid for my multiple skillets that didn't come with one. The only thing I have a problem with is there is a little bit of a lip around the edge of the pan and therefore it doesn't fit my 12" skillet very well. I have to carefully place it so the lip won't make it slide off and leave a gap for any steam or splashing to escape. Other than that it works great on the rest of my pots and pans.
