Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Progressive International Stainless Steel Universal Lid
Customer Review: Practical versatile lid. Easy storage. Vent opens and closes.
Summary: 5 Stars
This appears identical to the same lid we got at a local store several years ago. We are happy with it. As implied by the word universal, it can fit many different sizes of pots and pans.
About the shape: The center of the lid is recessed; it is lower than the outer circumference. In between the center of the lid and the outer edge, there is a stair-step pattern of graduated heights. Actually, each concentric circle is angled downward towards the center, a slight angle. This design allows the pan to cover a range of small, medium, and large pans without leaving a gap at the top of the pan.
Venting: There is one small vent, easily opened or closed using one finger. With the vent closed, the lid is not 100 percent air-tight, but good enough. I don't think we would want a completely air-tight lid for cooking (except for pressure cookers which are an entirely different story).
Storage: Some lids are a hassle to store in a small kitchen, if the handles are tall. This lid does not have that problem. Because the center of the lid is recessed, the round knob adds very little to the overall height.
A storage option: It can hang from an angled nail on the back of the pantry door. The vent opening is easy to slip over a nail or small peg.
Not so flimsy that it would bend or dent. This stainless-steel lid is between medium and light weight. That is OK with me; I don't think a lid needs to be heavy (unlike the pans).
The center knob seems to be some type of synthetic material -- not sure what. I assume it should not go into an oven at high heat. The ideal universal lid would be something versatile enough for oven use.
The knob does not get hot, but a potholder is still recommended, because the knob is short.
