OneLid Universal Pot Lid with Built-in Strainer - Fits 8.5 Inch Pots - Dishwasher Safe Glass Cookware Lid - Dark Grey - Perfect for Pasta Draining, Steaming Vegetables & Soup Cooking

The lid easily fits all for the underside is generally smooth. The only feature on the underside is the fan shaped grooves that carry away steam. Otherwise the underside is smooth and the lid easily fits any pan.The lid is rigid, with a very slight flex. I was concerned that it might be too flexible and slump into the pan. But it is rigid and stays in place, no slumping, with a smooth edge seal.The top handle is firmly in place. It remains at room temperature, no pot holder needed.The surface is smooth, easy to clean.Since one size fits all, one can interchange lids while cooking with different size pans.The lids take up very little space, with easy vertical stacking, taking up far less space than all those varied lids included with our cookware set. And one can drop a One Lid and there is no clanging noise that chases the cats out of the room.This is likely the perfect universal lid. I will purchase more of them.I was looking for a specific size to replace a lid I accidentally put in the goodwill box. I wasn’t expecting the special design to prevent boil over so well!! Fantastic!This is the greatest universal lid you'll ever see, and you'll get your money's worth the first time you use it (get the see-through lid, it's worth it). Easy to clean, lightweight, and the it's never too hot to handle.When grilling a burger patty with my cast-iron skillet, this lid traps the perfect amount of heat and moisture for an even cook. For soups, the ridged vents help prevent boil-overs (here's where the see-through lid is mandatory) and for pasta, they make for a lovely pour-off of the water.If/when they make a larger size, I'll buy that one too for my larger and oversized cast iron skillets and pots and give it the same glowing review. Support my fellow Danes and buy this - the cooking experience is made all the better by having practical, useful, beautiful equipment and One Copenhagen has made this excellent piece worthy of being in your kitchen, every kitchen!Works exactly as described. Heat resistant, good cover, works great as strainer. The handle is a little awkward but works well to protect your hands.Really glad I chose this higher quality universal lid instead of any one of the dozen cheap made-in-China options floating around out there. This one is designed in Denmark, and the dual venting/steam-release feature is both clever and convenient. It's perfect for my nonstick frying pan that has rolled edges I want to keep from getting scratched up by metal. I chose the one with the glass center for convenient viewing of food as it cooks. Helps a little, even when the view is obscured by steam, which is unavoidable. Really happy with this lid. If they made a larger version for 10 or 12" pans, I'd buy that one too!Love this helps to keep your small kitchen cupboards free of all other lids. Saved me so much room.We purchased this lid to use while camping. It is a little heavier than I expected, but it takes up less space than both a metal or glass lid and strainer. We used it when making spaghetti and it did a great job of draining the water off the pasta once it was cooked. Cleans up easily and is heat resistant. Would highly recommend.Great lids! We got one from when the company started this product on Kickstarter years ago, and recently had to get a new one after we accidentally put the lid on a stove burner. The versatility of this is great and it was a no brained to get a second time when we broke the first.Le couvercle est très pratique. Idéal pour verser l'eau de cuisson des pâtes grace à la fonction "passoire" intégrée.Le couvercle respire la qualité.Petite (bonne) surprise : commandé en noir et arrivé en gris clair; cette couleur n'était pas proposée par Amazon mais c'est bien celle que j'ai reçue (c'est celle que j'aurais choisi à la base)!
