SCANPAN USA Inc Scanpan Classic 8-Inch Glass Lid, 8 inch, Silver

Eurocast makes a 12" skillet, but sells it without a lid. The only way you can get a lid for that skillet thru Eurocast is to buy their huge Wok that is around $250+ and comes with a lid that also fits their 12" skillet.After searching, measuring, and searching more, I thought I would try Scanpan Classic 12-1/2-Inch Glass Cover. It came today and FITS PERFECTLY!!! It is a very nice, well made, heavy glass lid and is exactly what I was wanting. If, you also, are a Eurocast purchaser and want a lid for your 12" skillet without purchasing a $250+ pan that you don't want or need - this is the perfect lid for you.

This lid is listed as an accessory for the Scanpan Classic 9.5" fry pan, but I bought it to go with the 9.5" fry pan from the Scanpan Professional line and it fits perfectly. The glass is solid and Pyrex branded, with three slight bumps equidistant around the circumference of the rim, to keep the edge raised a bit, allowing steam to escape. Some assembly is required as the handle is a six-piece affair of plastic, silicone and stainless steel that takes two minutes or less to put together (the instructions are on the clear plastic bag the parts come in, so be careful when opening it). I ordered this from Amazon and felt lucky that it arrived intact... the packaging did not seem terribly secure for a breakable item like this. Before I opened it I was very worried it was broken, because the parts bag was rattling around inside and hitting the glass, making an unhappy sound. Thankfully the lid was unblemished. A bit on the pricey side, but exactly what I was looking for.

See the above as a tight fit is extremely important!

High quality.

Really like how this fits my scanpan and another open pan that's only marginally smaller than the scanpan lid. I have run it through the dishwasher several times and so far it hasn't collected moisture where the knob connects. I purchased some universal lids that were disappointing. They didn't create a seal and if I used the back burners on my freestanding range it would bump against the back of the range. This lid solves that space problem and makes a better seal. The only snag is the size of the knob, it gets caught in the space dividers of the lid holder I use if I don't take them out just so.

This cover isn't cheap. In fact, it's a bit more expensive than another excellent glass cover that I liked better, but which didn't fit my pan in spite of being specified as 32cm. This cover fit perfectly, because its ring is a couple of millimeters smaller in diameter than the exact 32cm of my 32cm frying pan. I believe that, thanks to the overlapping shape of the ring, it would also fit a pan that's a couple of millimeters larger in diameter.I wish cookware manufacturers would get together and standardize on how they measure their products so that you could be sure of getting parts that fit.

I purchased this lid because I couldn't find anything that would fit my 12-1/2 inch ScanPan frying pan. This lid is the perfect fit, it arrived as promised and as with other ScanPan lids I have, I expect it will wash easily and be perfectly clean. I would definitely purchased something again from this company,

First of all, let me say that I really like Scanpan. All of my frying pan purchases in the past 5 or so years have been Scanpan as I slowly displace older pans. I've also contacted them for warranty service on a different pan, and they came through with shining colors! The 10-1/4 inch Scanpan fry pan that I use for making breakfast every day did not come with a lid, so adding one for steaming eggs and vegetable was a must. This particular lid is very nice and I use it on my Scanpan fry pans as well as my older Calphalon pots. The picture doesn't show it, but there is a Scanpan logo in black lettering on the glass of the lid. The glass has a slightly greenish hue to it, but isn't noticeable during daily use. The metal rim around the edge extends from the top lip around the bottom of the glass and then ends with a small lip that sits in the pan for a good seal. The rim seems to be quite strong and able to protect the glass from minor incidents. The plastic handle is a nice size and non-conductive so I don't burn my hand when removing the lid from a hot pan or pot. It also has four small, but unobtrusive vents for letting steam out. Overall, a nice lid that I plan to use for many years to come.
