Stalgast 280 mm Stainless Steel Pot Lid for Professional Kitchens

A pot lid seals the vessel to trap steam, raising the temperature inside and cooking food faster than an open pot. The steam condenses on the cooler lid and drips back, keeping ingredients moist and preventing evaporation that would concentrate flavours unevenly. This method is essential for braising, simmering and slow-cooking where even heat and consistent moisture are critical.

Place the lid on the pot once the ingredients are loaded and the heat is set. The snug fit over the rim reduces heat loss, so the hob can be turned lower while maintaining the same cooking temperature. When the cooking time is complete, lift the lid carefully to avoid steam burns and set it aside on a heat-resistant surface.

The lid is made of multi-layer stainless steel, which resists warping and distributes heat evenly across its surface. It fits pots with a 280 mm diameter rim and is compatible with electric, gas and induction hobs. The material is dishwasher-safe, allowing for thorough cleaning without manual scrubbing.

A diameter of 280 mm matches standard professional stock pots and braising pans, ensuring a secure fit without overhang. The size is chosen to balance capacity and weight, so the lid remains easy to handle during service.

The lid is dishwasher-safe, so it can be cleaned alongside other stainless steel kitchenware without risk of corrosion or discolouration.
