Know before you buy
Yes, with an 8.5-inch diameter and 2.8-inch height, it is perfectly sized to cover standard burger patties, grilled sandwiches, or even individual portions of vegetables.
Absolutely. The aluminum construction is designed to withstand high heat, making it an excellent tool for melting cheese on burgers or steaming vegetables directly on your grill grates.
The stainless steel handle is durable and safe for high-heat environments, including ovens up to 500°F. However, it will get hot during use, so we recommend using an oven mitt or towel when lifting the dome.
While the aluminum construction is durable, we recommend hand washing to maintain the finish and prevent potential discoloration that can occur with some dishwasher detergents.
Because this dome is made of aluminum, it is not compatible with induction stovetops, which require magnetic cookware. It works perfectly on gas, electric, and ceramic surfaces, as well as grills.
