Lodge 12sk lid, what can I use?
I have Lodge 12sk(13") skillet. I would like to find a lid, glass or stainless steel, the lodge cast iron lid is too heavy for my spouse. And recommendations would be appreciated.
I was thinking that an inverted Norpro 5672 pizza pan may work, but I don't have one to try. Does anyone have a 12sk and Norpro pan they could try?
Thanks

I often use a baking sheet. Not pretty, but it works. Combine with foil for a tighter seal.

What can you use to cover a cast iron skillet?
That's right\u2013a cookie sheet. It's usually pretty wide (and if it doesn't completely cover your large stock pot or fry pan it probably isn't much of an issue\u2013most of the heat stays inside) and it very heat resistant. Just place it on top of your pot or pan. Viola, instant lid.Can I use a glass lid on cast iron?

Answer 2
There are a couple of companies that make 'universal lids', where it's effectively a series of steps at different diameters, such that it'll center itself well on a variety of sizes of pans.
(being well centered can be important if you have significant steam generation; a centered lid might pop up as steam escapes, but will tend to settle back down on the pan ... an uncentered lid might slowly wiggle its way off the pan)
I can't comment on any of the current ones on the market -- I had one back in college that was just cheap aluminum. I gave it away when I got a set of pots as a hand me down that all had their own matching lids.
I'd personally steer clear of glass lids if there's a chance of the glass coming into contact with the pan itself (and not just a center insert around an otherwise metal lid). Tempered glass can fail destructively after too many hits, and a bubbling pot can cause the lid to repeatedly tap against the edge of the pan.
