Ikea has some nice saucepans with metal lids. I like the Favorit line,
which is stainless steel with an aluminum core, but they have others, I
believe, that are just stainless steel. The smaller pans, < 4 quarts,
also have one long handle riveted to the pan.

I didn't associate Ikea with kitchenware before, so I'll see if local stores
have anything.

You can still buy saucepans like that, although as you have found,
glass lids seem to be becoming more common. I'm not much keen on them
either. I've bought a lot of my SS pots and pans (with SS lids) from a

Thanks. I'll also see if there's a Victorian equivalent that has an actual store
I can visit.

It's quite an impressive store we have, considering the size of
Launceston. They know me well in there

I have no doubt you'll find an equivalent store in Victoria. I agree,
there's nothing like seeing and handling cookware yourself to really
know if it's what you're looking for.

When I go to Amazon and do a search:
http://www.amazon.com/s/search-alias...ords=saucepans

And scroll down, I find a Revere 3-qt, a Cuisinart 3-qt, a Cooks Standard
3-qt, a Farberware 2-qt. That's just for the first page.

As for diameters: The Revere is 20 cm, if you click on the Cuisinart there
are four 3-qts shown. The Cooks Standard is also 20 cm. The Farberware is
smaller than you want.

Some of those look good. I'm a bit wary of buying one online. I'd really prefer
to examine it properly first, but I'll do it if there's no other choice.

Take your lid with you when you shop and try it on the pans that
interest you. If it fits, use it and give the glass lid away.
Personally, I don't have a problem with glass lids, so that wouldn't
factor into buying a new saucepan.

Amazon has single handle saucepans in the 20cm diameter. Best to
search your local Amazon to see what's available in cm instead of
inches.

My main reason is that metal lids are indestructible. You can treat them
roughly, whereas you need to be careful with a glass lid. Drop it just once and
I'll have a useless saucepan I can't cover. Metal lids are also lighter.

Disagree on all points, but it's obvious that you're not going to
change your mind - so bring your metal lid with you when you shop.

So far I have yet to break a glass lid. They are heavier though so if he
has trouble with stuff like that, metal might work better. He might also
consider a universal lid or one of the silicone ones if he doesn't need a
tight seal. I use my silicone things for almost everything now if I need a
lid.

Thanks Julie! I've never heard of those silicone universal lids so after
looking at some just now, it looks just like something I need. I don't
like having to have a separate lid for every pot or pan.

My main problem with the glass lids with a metal band around the edge is
fat and water can get between the glass and metal. Then when you think you
have cleaned it, what was trapped leaks out.

I like 100% glass lids, as sold with Pyrex casserole dishes.

Don. www.donwiss.com (e-mail link at home page bottom).

I am like SF, and like my glass lids. I have never observed any liquid
leaking from any part of the metal rim. Mine go in the dishwasher, and
if there were such reserved moisture to leak out, trust me, I would notice.

My only problem is that yes, I have dropped the largest one and it
shattered (into nubbins, like a windshield, not into shards because it
Is tempered glass) and a more minor drop might bend the metal rim.
But I still like them much better than metal lids, no question.

I am hand washing, until my kitchen renovation is done. I only own the one,
and it was bought after my renovation was started. So I have no idea how it
would do in a dishwasher.

It did have a little fall once. So the rim may be bent a little. And it is
large, like 11" diameter. It was bought to fit over a fry pan.

I have no preference. I take what I get, think one works as well as
the other and have never broken a glass lid.

Do you have a discount chain called TK Maxx over there? They have
excellent household departments where you can get high quality goods at
very reduced prices.

It's very much like TJ but minus the clothing. I wondered when I first went
there because the items seemed the same. The Home Goods place just had a
lot more of the home type items such as furniture, rugs and pet things.
Oddly enough the kitchen part wasn't a lot bigger. I did buy a couple of
knives there and some whole wheat pasta. I may have bought a throw rug. I
do remember looking but not sure if I bought. I think I also bought a set
of pillowcases.

Overall, I didn't notice any really good prices on cooking type stuff and
much of what they were selling was not a known brand. They had a lot of
nice looking skillets in terms of if you were looking for something in a
bright color or a leopard print on the outside, but the skillets themselves
looked kind of crappy to me. So perhaps nice for a show piece if you have
one of those hanging pot racks but I'm not sure I would want to use one.

One place the OP might consider is a hardware store if he has a smaller
store where he lives. Although Lowes does sell some kitchen stuff, I don't
know about pans. I am always surprised though at what the smaller Ace
hardware store has here. And when we had a store in downtown Edmonds, they
were good for kitchen things too.

I never know what to expect when I visit one of their stores - stock
changes rapidly. They appear to purchase a fair amount of overstocks and
gone-out-of-business merchandise. I've found some really nice
kitchenware there at amazingly low prices.

Ditto. They also sell some top quality household linen. Worth a
rummage. I have a weakness for huge soft luxury-quality towels :-)

I think you mean TJ Maxx. And they may well sell some high quality stuff
but they also sell a lot of crap. Such as the shoes I bought where one of
them totally fell apart within 24 hours. I was walking along and all of a
sudden, then I wasn't walking along. They were a moccasin style and they
had used one long strip of leather to connect the top of the shoe to the
bottom. That came loose. Thankfully I was able to rethread it and fix it
enough to where I could get myself home. I had gone to a Pink Floyd laser
light concert at the Seattle Center and was on my way in when it happened.
I haven't bought too much else there since.

As Sheila has posted, Maxx are TJ in USA; but TK here in UK.

WTF do you keep buying crap everything? Anyone with half a brain can

Give up, Janet. She'll never get it.

I bought a pair of sandals from a known retailer that lasted 20 years.
I bought another pair a couple of years ago, exact same style and brand.
They're still going strong.

I didn't buy them from some cheapo discount place that swaps out
merchandise every few weeks. But as others would say, oh well, it's her
money.

Do you have those shops 'over there' that sell nothing but very cheap
crap at very cheap prices? I'm guessing you do as they're pretty
endemic these days. They seem to be very popular here with ppl with
limited incomes... particularly those that could be classed as
'bogans' in Australia (these ppl are probably described as trailer
trash or rednecks in the U.S). They buy all this useless crap that is
lucky to last a week, but never seem to wake up to that fact. All they
see are the cheap prices.

You may consider yourself lucky. I used to buy a brand of boots that I
wore a lot summer and winter and they lasted for years. Over the years
they started needing more frequent replacement and soon got to the point
where they did not even last a year. I had a similar experience with
loafers. I had a brand I liked and got a couple years out of them, then
only a year. I stopped buying them after wearing out two pairs in less
than a year. I switched brands... went to Rocksport. I had one pair that
last a couple years and were always comfortable. When it came time to
repair them there was nothing of the same value.

As for sandals, I have a fondness for Birkenstocks. I bought my first
pair in Germany for $50 but when it came time to replace them they were
$150 here.... plus tax. When I questioned the price I was told it
costs a lot to ship them..... not $100. I waited until my next trip to
Germany to replace them. They have dropped in price here, and I have to
admit that they last a good long time.

I don't. I bought those shoes back in the 80's. I haven't bought much else
there since, much less gone into the store. I do go into one on occasion
when my husband is playing indoor golf. Watching that gets old in a hurry
so we will sometimes go into the store and look around. I did find some
discontinued spa socks there that I love. They were a known quantity. I've
had them before and they were fine.

You might try Ebay if you are wanting the exact same thing that you have.
Yes, it will likely be used. And I presume that you can still buy sauce
pans with metal lids. I just bought a big stock pot with a metal lid. Some
of my newer pans to have the glass lids. I have no issues with them.

Good idea. I've already looked in few second-hand shops (Salvation Army and the
like). There are a few pots and pans in them. They probably have what I want at
times, but I'd have to be pretty lucky to show up when they do.

There are new larger pots with metal lids but all the places I've been have only
glass lids for my size.

I dumped a bunch of my utensils and when the dust settled, I found that
I had no lids. Well I had several lids but they were way over-sized.
Oopsie! My plan is to got to Ross and get me some lids. I like the flat
metal lids the fit different sized pans. In the meanwhile, I'm using a
plate and a frying pan for my lid-ding needs.

My granddaughter got a beautiful set of stainless steel pans for
Christmas. Unfortunately she's 2 years old and I can't use the pans.
That's the breaks.

Huh? That's a Toys R Us Pot... I use a pot that size for scooping
bird seed... it's way too teeny for most cooking.
There are plenty of cookpots with metal lids... if you don't want to
spend a lot go for Farberware, their new design is a spectacular piece
of cookware... they are now heavy SS with a thick aluminum disk
stainless steel clad bottom. I bought a few and they are far better
than the originals... their 6 quart is my favorite, a relatively wide
pot with its high sides it's great for frying chops with very little
spatter. Of course there is no cookware that comes anywhere close to
the quality of Piazza... next to Piazza All-Crap is Dollar store
cookware.

There are common sets of 3 pots where one roughly the size I described is the
largest of the three. You must be cooking for a commune or something if you
think that's teeny.

I use it mostly for pasta, 150 - 200g (dry weight) with about 2 litres of water.

Someone else suggested that but the photo of the 3 quart one looks taller and
narrower than mine. The proportions of mine are just right for me, and the base
just covers the gas flame on full.

I had a look and there's a 3-quart one, although it looks a little taller and
narrower than mine. I would want the gas flame on full not to be wider than the
base. At 20 cm width the flame goes close to the edge.

The people that have metal lids want glass lids.

I don't. I'm fine with the metal lids. Revereware with lids that work
on pots and frying pans.
