Simply producing a suitable lid for cookware is not enough for de Buyer. The development department also wanted to optimize form and function. The result is a round and curved stainless steel lid that retains heat in the pot and enables energy-saving cooking. The lid is polished to a high gloss on the outside and matt on the inside. Now let's talk about the optimization: In the center is a recess that efficiently redirects condensation onto the food being cooked. This effect can be supported and strengthened, for example, by placing ice cubes on the lid. At the same time, the recess provides a safety distance between the handle and the hot lid. The riveted handle made of ergonomically shaped cast stainless steel only warms up slightly even during longer cooking times and is always easy to grip. This lid is universally applicable and fits all pots, saucepans, and sauté pans with a diameter of 14 cm. This lid is particularly suitable for the de Buyer cookware series with cast stainless steel handles.
