Some may wonder why anyone would spend as much, or even perhaps more, for a lid for their cast iron skillet as they did for the skillet themselves. If you bought the skillet a few years ago you likely paid less than the current price of the cover. However, if you're into cooking and you've really come to know and love what cast iron cooking is all about then you'll realize, from a purely financial standpoint that it's more analogous to buying a house than a cooking utensil. What I mean is that this cookware, if properly cared for, will literally last you a lifetime. If you consider the cost in terms of amortization over even twenty years, and you couple that with the superior functionality of a cover such as this compared to your alternatives which are likely the Lodge GC12 Tempered Glass Lid, 12-inch it's a bargain. Personally, I think you're absolutely crazy buy a glass cover for a cast iron pan. The reasons people buy glass covers are the exact reasons that people should not buy cast iron cookware to begin with.
If you read the reviews for the glass covers, and the reviews are generally positive I might add, you'll find a common appeal. That is, that they are dishwasher safe, they are relatively light, you can view the contents of what's in your pan or pot and they provide a cover for their cookware. Furthermore, if you buy the Lodge brand of glass cover then you MAY get a decent fit on your Lodge pan but certainly not nearly as good of a fit as with this cover. For what it's worth, the Lodge brand glass lid, that's inferior to the cast iron is made China. All Lodge cast iron cookware is made in the U.S. I don't mean to imply that being made in China is necessarily a bad thing but I have learned that a lot of people have issues with it. That is is made in China makes it even harder for me to fathom how it could sell for even half the price of this lid. It simply shows that people will pay the money for the Lodge name but again, if all those convenience issues are what's important to you in cookware then why bother with any cast iron cookware to begin with? Your Lodge 12" skillet is going to take some of your precious time to maintain. It's going to be heavy when you lift it and you're going to have to wash it by hand immediately after cooking with it then make sure it's towel dried exceptionally well and after all that you may need to season it again and leave it in a hot oven for an hour or more. Some people find this to be a chore. I take delight in it because I know I'm caring for a life long investment. I also enjoy honing my good knives. It's really very similar. You know, it's like some people will only hand wash their cars because they don't want the cloths from the automatic car washes gradually damaging the clear coat and ultimately the paint finish on their car and those car washes will damage your paint over time.
But, if you're into cooking and you've experienced the superior cooking aspects that can only come from good cast iron cookware you're happy to do it. But would you put cheap tires or cheap anything on your Porsche? Don't put a cheap lid on what may be the finest piece of cookware you'll ever own.
If these are things (light weight, dishwasher safe, a see through lid, etc.) that are really important to you then I suggest you shouldn't be buying cast iron cookware to begin with. Cast Iron is heavy. It is not dishwasher safe, if fact if you put it in the dishwasher it's a given that it will be ruined immediately. If you don't wash and dry it promptly and properly, you'll start seeing rust soon too.
Like this cast iron cover, the glass cover also gets stellar reviews. I'm sure it's a good cover. A Volkswagen is a good car but it's not as good as a Porsche. The analogy is not that questionable.
There are many enhancements that can end up staying created to your residence and some can demonstrate to be a significantly greater financial commitment than some others. The Lodge self basting cast iron cover is IMHO and enhancement that's worth every penny.
You can certainly buy other 12 " covers for your cookware but a real chef will tell you that not all covers are the same and some covers serve a greater purpose than just overing the pot to keep the heat in. This Cover Provides Self-basting Spikes On The Underside That Allow The Nutrition And Flavor In The Steam To Drip Back Onto Food. Also, many people won't spend the money on this lid because "they only use the lid occasionally". I've found, now that I own it and see how useful it is that I almost always use it. Have you been cooking bacon in your cast iron pan without a lid? Try cooking it with this lid. One might think that the bacon won't get crispy because it will steam. NOT SO. Not only does it prevent the grease from splattering but the bacon will crisp up as much or as little as I want it to. How about fried eggs? I used to always go for over easy or over medium. No more. Now, I always use the lid and my fried egg of choice is "basted". Hey, don't knock it until you've tried it.
This is a better lid than the standard cover; not only for your pan but for your dutch oven as well. You may be tempted to buy the less expensive glass covered lid and justify it because it costs less and you can look at what's in the pan but if you're really into cooking the self basting feature of this type of lid is all you'll need to be sold on it. For stovetop the glass cover will let you see inside. It is not as heavy and it has no flanges to cover the spouts so it will let more steam out. For oven use I would get the iron lid. Even though the glass lid is allegedly oven safe to 400 degrees F, it has a plastic handle. I would not want to test it. The beauty of cast iron is that you'll never have to worry about such things. Since the iron is heavier it will have somewhat of a pressure cooker effect and hold more steam in than the glass lid could ever hope to. You really want the self-basting iron lid for baking tender roasts. The iron lid is the one you can use absolutely anywhere, stove, oven, indoors, camping.
I deliberately waited to review this product, because there are so many reviews which praise or dismiss cast iron within a few days or weeks of them using it for the first time. So please take this review from someone who had the patience to experiment with the pros and the cons.
Personally, I feel that cast iron, in general, is fantastic, because it will last for several life times if taken care of properly. In addition, it doesn't have Teflon, which is becoming a constant concern for those who know better.
Pros:
It is durable for decades, if not centuries, IF CARED FOR PROPERLY.
It distributes heat more evenly.
It retains heat longer than other cookware.
Once well seasoned, it almost takes care of itself.
Cons:
It's heavy. People with arthritis, or some other physical impairment may have a problem with its weight.
There is a learning curve, which takes some getting use to, because of the fact that it retains heat more evenly, and retains it.
Un-learning how to clean your cookware can be counterintuitive. Don't soak it, don't use soap, and don't scrub it. (It removes the seasoning that makes cast iron so great.)
The 10.25 lid is versatile. While it completely covers the 10.25 pan, it does a fairly good job of covering the 10.50 inch square grill pan. And of course of you have any other 10.25 pans, Dutch ovens, etc, you won't need to buy an additional cover. And while yes, a round top can't completely cover the square pan, it still fits, though it allows vapors to escape. You can decide if that is a pro or con based on how you cook. The only real problem was that by its design, this lid is somewhat more susceptible rust. So I HIGHLY suggest storing the lid upside down, if you can, to help prevent this. But, after seasoning it a few times, the potential problem has become no problem at all.
MY BOTTOM LINE: If you're willing to put a little more time in cookware that will take care of your culinary needs, as long as you take care of it, then buy this. Yes, you'll have to do some small amount of rethinking how you cook, but ultimately, anyone who is passionate about cooking will appreciate cast iron. But, if you want a light weight, easy to maintain even for a five year old, then cast iron products may not be for you.
I'd appreciate any questions or comments, so please feel free to ask me anything about cast iron products. And if I was helpful, please give me a positive vote, and of course, I'll address your comments and concerns when you post them.
Thanks for taking the time to read my review.
