Why is the lid so much smaller than the pan itself? It doesn't fit OVER it, it fits IN it.

Watch some videos on wok cooking on YouTube. That's how it's suppose to be :)

hahaha.. its a WOK!!! it keeps the flavor in the pan..helps steam vegies better..

This is the correct way for the lid to fit.The steam flows back into the pan and does not run down the outside onto the stove/burner. The WOK is not designed to be filled with food so the lid fitting this way does not interfere with Cooking. The size of the WOK is designed so the food can be moved up and down the sides for increased and deceased heat. The lid as it is made will accommodate this method of cooking as well.

As others have said it's designed to be that way. One advantage of this lid is when I fry steak in the wok. I put the lid on and it keeps the steak really moist! I heat up the wok with medium to high heat and let it sit empty for a bit before I place the steak in it. The steak will sear very nicely and if you keep the lid on between changing sides the steak stays juicy.

The lids do not fit either of the skillets. The diameter of the saute pan(at least the one I think is the saute pan) is 11 1/2".

I just tried the lids on both frying pans and they both fit just inside the rim and not on the rim; I am not sure if that qualifies as "fitting" or not.

The lid that came with the pan is NOT transparent. I would have no idea where to begin looking for such an item. Except perhaps, asking the good folks at AllClad for any ideas that they might have.

It doesn't actually sit inside the pot-only into the lid area and about 1/2" deep.

The lid dimension is just over 9 1/8", but this lid works with my pan that has an inside diameter of 9 1/2" with the outer edge of the lid actually resting on the pan. Hope this helps I had the same problem trying to find the right lid.

The 2 1/2 quart sauce pans lid (just measured how much liquid it actually holds) does fit the small frying pan. Note: The frying pan is small e.g. two eggs will fill the whole pan.

The lid is approximately 12 9/16" in diameter. The frying pan I use it on is 12" in diameter. Obviously, the lid has enough over lap to accomodate so called 12" pans that may be slightly larger.

The lid should fit the pan for which it was made. But if you were to use a smaller lid on a bigger pan, then the lid would sit lower in the pan. Although you would retain some of the juices, the lid would not sit quite as snuggly as if you had used the lid made it.

I purchased this cover to go with the 'Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick Dishwasher Safe Stir Fry Pan, 10-Inch' I purchased for my parents and it is too small. Cover sits about a 1/2 inch into the wok. I did not have a tape measure handy to get exact measurements. I will be returning this cover and looking for something else :(

I saw that too, and it does, technically, fit, but it sits on top, not into the saucepan as I would expect... is that okay? I'm wondering if that even WORKS?

I measured mine and it's the diameter of the pan itself. The flat cooking surface is smaller.

One lid fits the smaller frying pan but -- alas -- none fit the larger frying pan. I really love this set, but this lid issue is a genuine deficit.

The saucepan lid fits well on the smaller skillet; however, the larger lid (for the stock pot) does not fit the larger skillet. I discovered this recently when making a one-dish meal in the larger skillet that required covering and simmering. I had to improvise. Not sure if the skillet lid is available in open stock...that's my next idea.

The pan is 8 inches deep and 9 3/4 inches tall including the bale (handle). I can't find a lid that will fit even though the pan can be bought on other sites with a lid, but it is more expensive.

I suggest getting a universal pan lid that is at least 12 inches in diameter. I use the Norpro Smart Universal Lid. Good Luck!

Sorry, no idea. I sent mine to Goodwill. I use one of my other glass lids of the same size. I like to be able to see what's in the pan.
