Calphalon Contemporary 12 Inch Glass Covergood

I have had this thing on my wishlist forever. It was only $20, but for some reason, I never pulled the trigger on getting it. My birthday rolled around, and being that you don't get presents at my age, I thought I'd finally get this for myself. I know, that's lame, right? "Yay it's my birthday, now I can finally get that PAN COVER I've always wanted!". But well, that's how it went down. I'm sure there's some psychological reasoning behind that - I bet people buy more crap on or near their birthdays. Anyhow - this shipped to me fairly quickly. The pan cover was wrapped up super-tight in bubble wrap; nothing was going to damage this en-route. I have a 12" Calphalon pan with no top which I've ALWAYS needed. I have the 10" pan too, and it has it's cover, but I always end up using the bigger one ALL the time and always wish I had the darn cover. I was using tinfoil whenever a recipe called for simmer something with the cover on. Lame. Well, this thing fit my pan just perfectly... Read more

After reading some of these reviews I was worried it wouldn't fit my Calphalon contemporary non-stick 12" frypan (code 1392 etched on the pan's bottom). However it fits fine, good seal, nice to have glass. What's not to like?

I ordered both this and the 10" lid. Both of them fit my "Contemporary" non-stick set. I noticed complaints from other reviewers. If you have the "Unison" or other style non-stick these may not fit. If you go to the Calphalon website you will see that the "Unison" pan lids are sold in a two-piece set, but you have to buy the individual lids for the "Contemporary" style. Know your pan styles before you buy, because these lids fit my pans perfectly.
