About Blackmoor Pan Lids
A good pan lid helps retain heat and moisture while cooking, reduces splashes and allows food to cook more efficiently. Blackmoor glass pan lids are designed as practical replacement lids for saucepans, frying pans and other cookware.
Available in 16cm, 18cm, 20cm, 24cm and 28cm sizes, each lid uses durable tempered glass so you can monitor food while it cooks without repeatedly lifting the lid.
What size pan lid do I need?
The correct pan lid size is determined by the diameter of the pan it needs to fit.
Blackmoor pan lids are available in:
- 16cm
- 18cm
- 20cm
- 24cm
- 28cm
For the best fit, measure the diameter across the top rim of your pan and choose a lid with the corresponding size.
16cm pan lids
A 16cm pan lid is ideal for smaller saucepans and milk pans. This size is particularly useful for cooking smaller portions, heating sauces and preparing side dishes.
18cm pan lids
An 18cm pan lid is a useful replacement for medium-sized saucepans and other 18cm cookware. It provides a balance between compact size and everyday cooking capacity.
20cm pan lids
A 20cm pan lid is suitable for many everyday saucepans and cooking pans. Its larger surface area makes it useful for family cooking, sauces, vegetables and one-pot dishes.
24cm pan lids
A 24cm pan lid is designed for larger cookware such as frying pans, sauté pans and other 24cm pots and pans.
The tempered glass design allows you to keep an eye on food without removing the lid unnecessarily.
28cm pan lids
A 28cm pan lid is useful for larger frying pans, sauté pans and family-sized cookware. It can help reduce splashing while retaining heat and moisture during cooking.
Why choose a tempered glass pan lid?
Tempered glass provides a clear view of food while it cooks, meaning you do not need to repeatedly remove the lid to check progress.
Blackmoor pan lids also feature a built-in steam vent that allows excess steam and pressure to escape during cooking.
The combination of glass and stainless-steel edging provides a durable construction designed for regular kitchen use.
Can Blackmoor pan lids fit other brands of pans?
Blackmoor pan lids are designed to fit Blackmoor cookware of the corresponding size. Because pan sizes commonly follow standard diameters, they may also fit other pots and pans with the same rim diameter.
Always measure your existing pan before purchasing a replacement lid to help ensure the best fit.
How to measure a pan for a replacement lid
Measure directly across the top of the pan from one inside edge of the rim to the opposite edge.
For example, if the pan measures approximately 20cm across the rim, choose a 20cm replacement pan lid.
Checking the measurement before purchasing is the easiest way to avoid choosing a lid that is too large or too small.
Pan Lid FAQs
