I see where a complaint with other universal lids is they don't work with handles on pans that slant upwards. How about this one?

The lid needs to sit on a flat surface. But since this lid is so large it could be positioned on a 10 inch or larger skillet / pan and you would not have to worry about placing it on the handle. The black rubber outside is very wide to accommodate the problem cited.

Bought this as a gift and asked the gift recipients, they have only used it for flat even surfaced handled pans and it works well.

The Norpro lid seems to work fine with my 10-inch frypan that has an upward slanting handle. There seems to be enough flexibility in the outer rim to avoid a problem with single-handle frypans. There might be a potential problem with some smaller (8-inch) frypans, but in general the lid should work of you just off-set it from center toward the end opposite the handle. Larger (12-inch) pans with double handles should not pose a problem, since the lid is just slightly larger than 12 inches in diameter.

I also have found it too large for my small skillets, as it doesn't rest fully on the rim and tips awkwardly off one side of the pan. But I LOVE it for the 10" - 12" fry pans. The adjustable vent is brilliant! I wish they made a smaller size universal for 7"-8", but will keep using my saucepan lids for now.

I purchased this as a gift for someone who does not live near me. I will ask the person I gave this lid to, but I don't know at this moment. It will take me a few days to receive an answer.

If the handles on your pans slant upwards very high, then I think there would not be any universal lids that would work. One of the unique features that I like about the Norpro Smart Universal Lid is the flexibility around the outer edge. Our skillet handles have a sharp rise, but we are able to adjust the lid and it seals. It fits a little off center but gets the job done! I love this lid and I'm very pleased with how well it works on our skillets and pans.

If the pan is 7" - 8", that's a problem with this one as well. It's just too large, and can't be placed squarely on the rim. But I mostly use it on 10" and 12" skillets, and there's no problem. I love it! And I use a lid from one of my saucepans for the small skillets.

The lid is designed to work on pans from 8" to 12." On the smaller sized pans, handles can be a problem. On the larger pans, they are not. Overall, it is a great solution.

as for as I can tell the lids are universal. They have not changed the size of the pots. I gave these as a gift to someone but she said the new lids fit her older pots perfectly

I use it on an 8" skillet and have an extra 1 inch plus space at the end of the handle cover. I believe it's pretty universal to fit the different size skillets.

I have very brittle fingernails so they're no help to me. The set I have has very snug fitting lids but they seem to be truly round and smooth which allows me to grasp a lid and rotate it as I pull up on the lid, ergo, no problem with my set.

This type of pan is a flipping pan, I do not know of anyone thathas used it with a lid.............lots of luck to you..........

Not sure what does not fit but if the lids do not have a round handle it might be difficult to get lids to fit. And might require a custom bend if they are extra thick lids. Start from smallest to largest or largest lid to smallest lid. If all the lids are the same size and larger they may not fit.

I use this for my Calphalon lids and they do not touch each other. It will not hold the largest, oversized cover.

Not to answer your question directly, I love the universal lid I bought on Amazon. It fits almost any pan you own, has partial glass lid, and steamer vent. For me, the answer to any pans without lids.

I think so. The handles are affixed with a screw that is pretty universal - that is, it will fit more than one size lid.

I suggest getting a universal pan lid that is at least 12 inches in diameter. I use the Norpro Smart Universal Lid. Good Luck!

Sorry I dont know-the model I have has a straight handle that doesnt unfold

Great question. I've never tried that so I had to go to my cabinet and try it to answer your question. The answer: YES, you sure can slide the lid handle over the pan handle. Great idea for those who hang their pots and pans. It's a good skillet. I use mine a lot.

Look at the bottom of the pans. If they are the same "dash-number" (-30, -24, etc), then the lids of the same size (-30, -24, etc) can be used interchangeably.

I would call or post the company! It sounds like your helper handle was attached incorrectly. Mine looks like the picture and I cannot see how the lid fits if the handle is tipping towards the inside. Good luck!

The shield will NOT tip over if there is no pan handle to lean against. I have used mine on several pots and pans of various sizes.

I use a universal lid that has grooves in it so it fits any pan small to large. A dinner plate works too.

There is a lid that works for the smaller skillet, but the larger skillet does not have one that works. I bought the Ecolution Kitchen Extras Graduated Universal Lid, Large, and that works beautifully with the larger skillet.
