What is the lid for? For baking or storing? Does the lid come all the way apart from the pan? Thank you!

You can put the lid on if you want your bread flat on the top, so you will have a perfectly (almost) square loaf of bread. It does come all the way apart from the pan, just slides right off.

The lid is used for baking to keep the steam in to allow the bread to rise before the crust develops. It slides apart from the pan so you don't have to use it if you don't want to.

This pan is making a pullman loaf which is essentially a square loaf of bread. You can back with the lid on and the lid slides off completely. Go to the King Arthur Flour website for recipes and usage. I have not used it without the lid but I can imagine that it would make a great loaf of bread.

The lid is for baking to make a completely square toast. The lid does come off completely which you can bake with or without the lid.

The lid is used to compress dough to make a more dense loaf during early part of baking when still rising. A specific pain de mie recipe is used when making bread in a pain de mie pan with lid so the dough does not rise to much and squish out of the pan during baking. Check King Arthur Flour web sight for guidance. I also use this pan with out the lid to make banana bread, a good multipurpose pan for baking things you don't want so wide.

No need to. The lid is just a cap with a plastic window that can melt in the oven. The canister is designed to not spill any of the contents when the lid is removed.

It is a plastic lid for covering and transporting or storing what's baked in the pan. If you make free-form bread, this pan will bake the best loaf you've ever made.

No. It's an oven pan. I think it's perfect for baking or broiling things in the oven. I often use it for sausage or a couple filets of fish on the top rack, and any grease drips into the bottom (which is great). Or I use the bottom part, with the top removed, to roast a small portion of veggies like asparagus, carrots, etc. It can take high heat in the oven, but it's lightweight, and no meant for the stove top.

No, the lid is not tight at all. If I could explain better, the lid when on, will spin. I just use it for rising dough. It basically covers the dough.

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.

I don't believe they sell the lid as part of a set rather it is separate. There are sets but usually the top is another pan unless it is the dutch oven (which is sold with a lid ...not glass)

The description for this pan as of 10-19-15, still states that this pan comes with a clear glass lid. The description is wrong. You get the pan only, and no lid. You do not need a lid for making crepes, but as this pan can be used for other things (making fried eggs or silver dollar pancakes, Indian dosa, etc), some may think the description is correct. It is not correct.

There's nothing, that I cook in this pan, that would need a lid. I've never tried one, sorry.

It doesn't come with a lid; and I am not sure if one can be bought. It is perhaps the one thing missing from this pan. I hope this helps.

My two pan that I have are just a fraction larger at the top then and the bottom. I find this very helpful when baking some thing. It gives a fraction more room to get what I am baking out of the pan with out damageing the pan or what I am bakeing.

You do not remove the lid, put the hole unit in the oven, it will vent through the small holes in the sides

Yes. The lid is the same material as the pan. (Can even use the lid as a cookie sheet.). It fits snugly, easy to take off and on.

To Ed C...Mine did not come with a lid. I would not spend a cent on this pan, if I were you. It has never been non-stick, not even when using oil!

there is a rubber seal that goes around each lid to keep your item fresh. they seem to make a nice seal and would work great for like storing flour and sugar and whatever else you may decide to put in them.

I haven't noticed but I wasn't looking for it. I usually like to leave the lid attached but sometimes if I go too far it comes completely off. I will check if I remember next time and then update here.

The lid is for covering muffins, cupcakes, or whatever, to keep food fresher or for transporting to a potluck, for example. It is not for use in the microwave or oven.
