The companion to the No.8 (10 ¼”) cast iron skillet, our pre-seasoned 10 ¼” cast iron lid includes vintage-style self-basting ridges for easy stovetop and oven braising. Made in the USA.
The lid fits my 10 1/4” skillet perfectly, and those self-basting ridges really do keep the moisture circulating — my pot roast came out tender without me having to lift the lid once. It's heavy in the hand but that's exactly what you want for even heat.
The self-basting ridges on the underside work exactly as promised—my pot roast came out tender with barely any liquid added. It sits snugly on my 10 ¼” skillet and the pre-seasoned finish means I didn’t have to fuss with it before first use.
The self-basting ridges on the underside actually collect the juices and drip them right back over the roast—my pot roast came out noticeably more tender than with a flat lid. It’s heavy, but that’s exactly what I wanted for oven braising, and the pre-seasoning meant no fussing before first use.
