A normal glass lid traps the moisture completely. The water vapour condenses on the underside and drips back into the food, so that meat or fried potatoes are steamed rather than fried. The Kochblume frying lid lets the steam escape through its special design. This way the moisture escapes, the fat stays in and the food becomes really crispy.

The valve of the pan lid reacts automatically to the pressure inside the cookware. As soon as too much water vapour forms when frying or cooking, the valve lets the excess moisture escape upwards. This prevents condensation from dripping back into the hot oil. Your food becomes really crispy and juicy instead of becoming watery in its own juice.

Yes, that is one of the biggest advantages. Thanks to the stepped underside of the silicone bead, the lid adapts flexibly to different diameters. So you no longer need a separate lid for every single pan, which saves a lot of space in the kitchen cupboard.

Yes, both the tempered glass and the food-safe silicone are absolutely dishwasher-safe. You can simply put the pan lid into the dishwasher after cooking. Should grease ever stick to the silicone rim, this can also be washed off easily by hand with some hot water and grease-dissolving washing-up liquid.

No. The elegant flower-look knob is also made of special silicone. Since silicone conducts heat extremely poorly, the handle stays pleasantly cool even with prolonged use on the stove, and you can safely lift the lid at any time without an oven cloth.
