Bought 2 of these and one is total junk, the stew hole size is larger than the stew itself and won’t work, tried to initiate a return and the return cost is more than the purchase cost. We spend thousands of dollars a month and very dissatisfied with return policy.

Thank you for your review, Vernon! We are sorry this product has not worked well for you. A Customer Solutions Representative will contact you soon!

These lids are a game changer for short order cooks working the flat top. Whether you're cooking eggs, heating proteins or melting cheese on a burger, these lids cut your cook time in half and retain moisture.

This product works as advertised. We use it to help melt cheese on sandwiches we cook on a griddle. Easy to clean and cools down quickly so not to burn yourself when using it. The only drawback that I have had i that the screw inside that holds the plastic handle on the lid loosens every so often. It has never came off but just be aware you may need to tighten it up from time to time. Other than that I recommend this product and will continue to use it

This does the job you expect at a fair price and has good durability. We have used it for most of the year and it is holding up well against the daily usage.

The handle is easy and comfortable for my chefs to use. It is light weight. This helps us when cooking an item on the flat top and when we need to keep the heat in that area. I highly recommend this product.

What I liked the most about this product is that you can fit more than one burger patty. Also, it doesn't get too hot.
