A 12" glass lid is one of those quiet workhorses in the kitchen — it lets you check on a braise, a batch of rice, or simmering sauce without releasing the heat and moisture you worked to build up. Because it's tempered glass, it stands up to daily use and oven temps up to 450°F, so you can start something on the stovetop and finish it in the oven without swapping cookware.

This lid is built to pair with Misen's 12" Carbon Nonstick Frying Pan, with a silicone rim that creates a snug seal and protects the pan's surface from scratches while keeping steam circulating and dripping back into your food. If you're outfitting a kitchen from scratch or want a lid for both your 10" and 12" pans, the 10" + 12" Glass Lid set covers both sizes at once.

It's dishwasher safe and easy to live with day to day, and the stainless steel handle stays cool enough to handle without a pad most of the time. For cooks building out a full setup, browsing Misen's cookware sets is a good way to see how lids, pans, and other pieces work together.
