Kuhn Rikon Universal Silicone Lid
Best space-saving solution for home cooks with limited kitchen storage.
Streamline your kitchen with the Kuhn Rikon Smart Lid, a versatile silicone solution designed to fit cookware ranging from 9 to 11 inches, replacing the need for multiple lids. It features an adjustable automatic pressure release valve: set it to "auto" for achieving crispy, browned results while frying, or switch it to "off" when steaming vegetables. This heat-resistant lid is dishwasher safe for simple cleanup. For safety, it is recommended for electric or induction stoves; if used on gas, ensure the flame stays below the pan rim to prevent damage to the silicone edge.
