Amazon.com Review
This 12-inch cast-iron lid comes pre-seasoned (coated with Logic’s own vegetable oil formula and baked in hot industrial ovens) and ready to use; hence, the Logic in the name. Compatible with the 12-inch Lodge skillet, the lid even has two side flanges to cover the skillet’s pouring lips. Excellent at keeping in heat, steam, and splatters, the heavy lid will also fit the 5-quart chicken fryer and the 7-quart Dutch oven. Lodge’s legendary cast-iron cookware will last for generations.--Ann Bieri

Customer Reviews

Lid is more expensive then the frying pan
First of all let me say that I only use cast iron and stainless steel cookware. I don't use aluminum (brain damage) or non-stick (carcinogenic) cookware ever. Cast iron cookware takes years to season because it has to smooth out from use and the deposit of microscopic carbon molecules. Because of that pre-seasoning is kind of useless. I think every cook should have 3 pieces of cast iron: A grill pan, a dutch oven and a frying pan. If you can't cook it in one of those, it probably can't be cooked.

As far as the lid goes; it fits tightly on the Lodge Logic 12" frying pan. I wouldn't say it's an essential item (especially if you have a dutch oven) but it's nice to have. I think the price is too high considering that the frying pan (with more metal) is about 1/3 less expensive. This lid was $10 in 2007.

Get your cover and a Dutch Oven on the cheap
I looked at it like this:
The 7 Qt. Dutch Oven cover fits the 12" skillet.
The 12" cover is $20.01
The 7 Qt. Dutch Oven w/Spiral Handle is $38.98
If I subtract what I'd spend for the 12" cover the D.O. only costs $18.97 more. That's a huge hunk of iron for a mere $18.97.
I did the same thing by buying the 5 Qt. D.O. because the cover fits my
10 1/4" skillet.
Also, I found a brush that works very well to clean the pans and lids Power Tip Dish & Glass Brush

Packing
Worst packing I've ever seen from Amazon!!! It's amazing the Lodge cast iron lids (10 and 12 inch) survived unbroken. I did have to "re-season" the lids to cover the scratches from all the banging around they did in shipping!! I was lucky... If you need lids, I would find another source to eliminate the potential headache of returning due to damage. Thanks Amazon. I've read other reviews concerning shipping on this product and thought it must be a fluke or just another pinhead review... not so!
