I don't usually like glass lids because of the grease/food that usually get between the glass and the metal. Is this a problem with this lid?

I have not had any problem with any of my Lodge glass lids. They always come out sparkling clean from the dishwasher or if I wash them by hand.

No I have not had this problem at all. I have three of these lids this one a ten and twelve inch. Use them quite a bit. Put them in the dish washer when I'm done.

I have not had any problem with that problem, of course I rinse every thing with hot water before I put it in. The dishwasher And I love my glass lids. I have one for the 10' 12' skillets and for the 10 inch grill skillet.

Not Snug is actually a little better. there was an issue with the original MagnaLite Professional lids (Yes I own a set) and they would tend to seal themselves with moisture. this (I have read) had caused a couple of lids to "blow off" the pot. Also, the lid was designed that any steam that hit the lid would funnel back down to the inside lip and back into the food. The fact that the lid is not very snug is a good thing IMOHP...

Yes -- this is a real problem with this lid. Every once in a while I have to wait to have one of my sons get it off for me (it can take brute force).

I think there is no problem there. However I wanted to put this comment, one of the lids broke, by itself, while it was on fire. The good thing is that when it broke it did not shatter glass everywhere, kind of like when the car windshield breaks, but still, now one of my pots has no lid.

I understand what you are saying, you dont want the plasic near your food, especially the condensation that naturally occurs with crock-potting, my suggestion, look for a replacement glass lid for a mini crock-pot that is the same dimensions and toss out the toxic plastic lid. I am now not buying this for my husband because of your bringing the lid to my attention. very disappointing for crock-pot to manufacture the plastic lid, maybe you should send them a letter? good luck!

The inner cover has an aluminum base. It will never come in contact with the food due to the polished stainless steel inner lid in between. The steam that passes through the inner lid is also is directed to the overflow cup and not back into the food.

I have a mixture of both plastic and glass and have had no problems. I am very happy with this spice rack.

No--this is a solid lid, which is why I bought it. I do now that AllClad makes a line of saucepans for Emeril with glass lids,though.

I didn't read the other answers until after i posted mine. You should buy the glass lid.

My lids are silicone and give a snug fit. You can use the lids on just the glass insert without using the silicone liner, if you wanted to.

My Anchor Hocking 1.5 gallon jar has tight, well fitting lids. The lids are metal with a plastic "lip" around the inside and not in the least flimsy. I do not put my lids in the dishwasher.

Thanks much for the tip. I'll give it a try. I too am not too concerned about the inside of the lid.

I haven't noticed but I wasn't looking for it. I usually like to leave the lid attached but sometimes if I go too far it comes completely off. I will check if I remember next time and then update here.

I use the plastic lids in the microwave all the time and I have not found it to be a problem.

I went back and forth a bit as well, but I am happy I went with the glass. 1) it was a bit cheaper...always a plus 2) So far there has been no staining and the seal seems to be very reliable on all of the lids.

Since it's all stainless steel inside and out, I would say YES to this question. The one issue is to be sure and thoroughly clean the rubber lid as this can collect the grungy bacteria that can form with milk products sitting against it for periods of time. The lid is the critical issue that requires good cleaning.

Yes! That's one of the nice design features. I should mention that I didn't actually get the stainless steel one, it looks a little different, but I'm assuming the lid design is the same.
