What customers say
Customers highly praise the Lodge Tempered Glass Lid, especially when paired with Lodge cast iron woks. The primary focus is its perfect, snug fit, which significantly improves cooking consistency.

Know before you buy
This lid is specifically engineered for Lodge 12-inch cast iron cookware. While it may sit on other 12-inch pans, the fit is not guaranteed to be airtight or secure on non-Lodge brands.
Yes, the lid is oven-safe up to 400°F. Ensure your oven temperature does not exceed this limit to prevent damage to the glass or handle.
The integrated steam vent allows excess steam to escape during cooking. This helps prevent pressure buildup and reduces the likelihood of liquids boiling over, which is particularly useful when steaming or simmering.
The handle is designed to be heat-resistant, but it can still become hot depending on the cooking duration and oven temperature. We recommend using an oven mitt or pot holder when handling the lid after it has been in the oven or on a hot stove.
The lid is made from tempered glass, which is significantly more durable and resistant to thermal shock than standard glass. While it is designed to withstand the rigors of a kitchen environment, it should still be handled with care to avoid heavy impacts.
The lid is dishwasher-safe, making cleanup straightforward. For the best results, ensure it is placed securely in the dishwasher rack to avoid contact with other items.
