Know before you buy
The Smithey Glass Lid is designed specifically to fit the dimensions of Smithey Ironware skillets. While it may sit on other brands of the same diameter, the fit may not be as precise as it is with Smithey cookware.
No, this lid is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing it with warm, soapy water to preserve the finish of the stainless steel rim and the gold-accented knob.
While the lid is made of durable tempered glass, it is primarily intended for stovetop use. We recommend checking the specific temperature limits of your oven before use, as the knob and rim materials may have heat restrictions.
The lid does not feature a dedicated steam vent. It is designed to create a tight seal to effectively trap heat and moisture, which is ideal for braising and steaming.
You should select the lid that matches the diameter of your skillet. If you have a 10-inch, 12-inch, or 14-inch Smithey skillet, simply choose the corresponding lid size to ensure a proper fit.
