Stalgast Steel Lid for Professional Pots – 400 mm Diameter

A pot lid traps steam inside the cooking vessel, raising the boiling point and speeding up the process. The steam condenses on the underside of the lid and drips back, keeping food moist and reducing evaporation losses. A tight seal also prevents spills when the pot is moved or tipped, which is essential in a busy kitchen where pots are shifted between hob and worktop several times an hour.

To use the lid, place it on the pot rim with the handle aligned for easy grip. The multi-layer stainless steel construction conducts heat evenly across the surface, so the lid sits flat without warping. When the cooking cycle is complete, lift the lid by the handle and set it aside on a heat-resistant surface or return it to the pot if keeping the contents warm.

The lid is made of multi-layer stainless steel, which resists corrosion and staining from acidic or salty foods. The smooth surface allows condensation to run off without pooling, so the lid does not drip when lifted. A single handle is riveted to the lid for a secure grip, even when wearing heat-resistant gloves.

The 400 mm diameter matches standard professional pots and stockpots, covering the rim to form a tight seal. The size is chosen to fit vessels used for batch cooking, where a single lid can be moved between several pots of the same diameter during service.

The lid is dishwasher-safe, allowing it to be cleaned alongside the pots it covers. After washing, the stainless steel surface dries quickly and does not retain odours or flavours from previous use.

Compatible with electric, gas and induction hobs, the lid can be used on any standard professional stove without risk of damage or discolouration. The construction does not include non-stick coatings, so metal utensils can be used without scratching the surface.
