Ranking of the best dish lids for 2022

Dish lids are an essential fixture in any kitchen. They have a wide range of functions - preventing dust or insects from getting into food, protecting the stove from splashing juice or grease, keeping food at a high temperature for a long time and increasing the effect of heat on food during cooking, and are easy to store.

While going to the store, you can see the variety of these utensils, but only a few manufacturers make a truly high-quality product that is not only durable, but also safe for health. Knowing the types, selection criteria, as well as the rating of the best products in this category for 2022 will help to distinguish the best models from low-quality ones.

Kinds

What are the covers? First of all, they differ in material, since if we talk about the shape, then they are produced mainly round, and square ones are extremely rare due to their impracticality.

Types of covers by material:

• Made of silicone - elastic silicone products keep heat well and protect the stove from grease, but they have to be washed with a lot of detergent, because, according to customer reviews, silicone has the ability to absorb odors, even if the manufacturer claims otherwise.
• Made of glass - the advantage of glass appliances is easy maintenance and the ability to observe the cooking process through a transparent surface, however, they are quite fragile and can become very hot when exposed to high temperatures for a long time.
• Cast iron - cast iron kitchen items look stylish, protect the surrounding space well from splashes of grease and keep heat under them for a long time, but at the same time, the combination of carbon and iron has a lot of weight, which not everyone likes.
• Made of steel - lids are made from a metal such as steel, which is characterized by a high level of resistance to temperature fluctuations and any kind of damage received during cooking - scratches and bumps. The downside of the steel lid is considered to be very hot, so this product must have a heat-resistant handle.
• Made of aluminum - aluminum kitchen accessories do not differ in durability and strength, however, if an affordable price and low weight are important to the consumer, then they are perfect.
• From ceramics - ceramic fixtures have a more varied and striking design than all other types due to the chemical composition of ceramics.It is worth mentioning that such products have strength and the ability to retain heat for a long time, but at the same time they are prone to chipping on the sides, where the material is especially thin.
• Made of plastic - lightweight material allows you to make universal and inexpensive devices for protecting food from dust or insects. Plastic models are produced in all shapes and sizes, however, plastic tends to age, because of which it loses its strength and begins to either lose color, or, conversely, absorb the color of products.
• Made of polyethylene - disposable lids are made from this available material and, most often, they are equipped with an elastic band in order to better fit the dishes. Polyethylene products are not used when covering hot products, as well as on a stove due to the fact that this material can melt.
• Cloth - suitable for keeping food warm for a long time, but not intended for use on the stove due to the risk of fire. They can be of any design and shape, but they have to be washed almost every time due to the ability of the fabric to absorb odors and food juice.

According to the type of construction, the covers are divided into:

• Flat - designed to cover plates, and then the rest of the dishes, since most of them are made only to keep food warm. Often they do not have handles and are made of lightweight materials - plastic or silicone.
• Convex - are universal devices in the kitchen due to the curved shape and the presence of a handle that prevents burns when removing the lid during cooking.

Also covers are divided into:

• Disposable - designed for 1-2 applications and therefore made of cheap plastic or polyethylene. Housewives use them only to cover fruits, vegetables or food that has already cooled down.
• Reusable - designed for frying pans or hot food, therefore they are made of materials resistant to high temperatures - metals, ceramics, high-quality plastic, silicone and glass.

Currently, reusable lids are the most popular, as people more often think about the environment and choose those things that will serve them for a long time. Disposables are gradually leaving the kitchen market, as they are made of plastic and have a weaker resistance to cracking under pressure, accidental impact or sudden changes in temperature.

Criterias of choice

How to choose a lid for dishes and avoid mistakes when choosing? Often consumers pay attention only to the diameter of the product, not paying due attention to other criteria. In order for the kitchen appliance to be convenient and serve for a long time, you must follow the following tips:

• Measure the diameter of the dishes that need a lid - before buying such a product, you must first measure the diameter of the dishes that it will cover. Otherwise, the lid will be either small or large. This will not affect its functionality, but will greatly affect the convenience during use.
• Consider the size and material of the handle - the handle should be of medium size so that it does not slip out of the hands and at the same time not be too large - in both cases, the risk of falling and deformation of the product, as well as injury to the user increases. The material should not get very hot, otherwise the product will be difficult to remove from the pan or pan. It is also worth checking how many degrees the handle can withstand if it is made of heat-resistant plastic.
• Look for a lid with a steam release function - during cooking, excess liquid is released from food, which, under the influence of high temperature, turns into steam. This steam needs an outlet, as if this fact is ignored, the consumer may get burned.

By following the above recommendations, it will be easier for consumers to decide which cap to buy?.
