"What a great idea to have universal lids. An amazing to solution to different sized pots and pans. A very versatile cover and great construction. I really appreciate the attention to detail."
"I love this universal lid—kudos to the designer. It’s actually the only one I use for my entire cookware set, since the standard lids included with the set lack steam vents, causing pots to boil over and make a mess of the stove. To make the set look truly spectacular and perfect, I think all the lids should feature the logo integrated with those vent holes (perhaps a small metal piece with the logo that could slide to cover the vents for heat retention or open them while cooking to let steam escape). Also, the handles should be slightly larger to ensure better proportions and a more beautiful appearance."
"Love the lids. Like everything Hestan, they are top tier."
"So versatile, I do not need to look for a lid when I cook, truly universal lid . Easier to wash and more convenient to store. I do not know any downside to it. I love this size as well."
"Cooking on my induction cooktop is a breeze. Able to flip omelets, sauté vegetables, or sear meat easily and cleanly. Some staining occurs but I'm able to get back to a pristine finish with the included polish. Pans come out better than new!"
"It is a truly versatile lid, love that it is flat and I can lay stuff on it if I’m searing meat but also use it to keep oil from splattering!"
"It is a very beautiful set and cooks evenly. I'm not at all pleased with the way everything seems to stick to it, even when using oil."
"Universal lids ,great idea,simplify, All good"
"I rather have glass lids but these work fine."
"Quality materials and a good price. Probably the best value in a top quality pan set there is."
