Know before you buy
This lid is specifically engineered to fit the Netherton Foundry Spun Iron Wok. While it may fit other 11-inch pans, we recommend using it with the intended companion piece to ensure a proper seal and optimal heat retention.
Yes, the lid should be seasoned before its first use to build a protective layer. This helps prevent rust and creates a non-stick surface that improves with time and regular cooking.
Clean the lid using only hot water and a brush; avoid using soap or a dishwasher. After washing, dry it immediately on a low heat setting on your stove and apply a light coating of oil to keep the iron protected.
The lid weighs 20 ounces (567 grams), which provides enough heft to sit securely on the wok without being cumbersome. Its solid spun iron construction is designed to be durable while remaining manageable during stovetop use.
The lid has a diameter of 10.5 inches and a height of 2.25 inches. It is designed to sit perfectly atop the 11-inch diameter Netherton Foundry Spun Iron Wok.
