Lancaster No. 8 Cast Iron Lid
The Lancaster No. 8 Cast Iron Lid is a versatile companion for the Lancaster No. 8 Skillet, No. 8 Griddle, and 5 Qt. Dutch Oven, giving you more ways to braise, steam, simmer, and finish everyday meals. Made in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, this American-made cast iron lid helps retain heat and moisture for dishes such as sunny-side-up eggs, tender braised meats, steamed seafood, and slow-cooked vegetables. A solid brass knob provides a sturdy, comfortable grip and adds a distinctive finishing touch.
Designed with a self-basting interior, the Lancaster No. 8 Lid helps distribute condensation evenly across the cooking surface instead of allowing moisture to collect around the edges. This promotes more consistent braising and helps keep food moist and flavorful as it cooks. Durable, functional, and built to match multiple pieces in the Lancaster cast iron cookware line, this cast iron skillet lid is a practical addition for home cooks who want greater versatility from their American-made cast iron.
Historic Sizing Honoring Generations of American Craftsmanship
The No. 8 designation follows traditional American cast iron sizing standards dating back to the 1800s, when skillet numbers corresponded with the cooking eyes on wood-burning stoves. The number 8 is traditionally a top diameter 10.5" skillet.
