Good quality cover that holds up well under daily use. Helps food cook evenly and keeps splatter to a minimum.

The 10" square basting cover is absolutely terrible. Which is strange, because the 6" round basting covers I bought from them are great - brass sleeves inside the plastic knobs and very sturdy. But the 10" square one is a totally different story. The packing tape used to secure the knob during shipping left a residue that naphtha wouldn't even take off. What am I supposed to do - burn it off?! There were scratches all over whatever metal wasn't covered in adhesive. The knob doesn't have a brass sleeve, so the threads stripped immediately. I've been happy with everything I've bought from Webstaurant except for this - this is going straight in the trash.

Thank you for your review, Dan! We would like to gather more information about your experience with this cover. A Customer Solutions Representative will contact you soon.

Love this! Works great with my outdoor griddle. Helps cook chicken wings faster and also melt cheeses. Love that it is square. Fits more under it than the circle ones. Also, the plastic knob is great because it doesn't get hot and I don't need an oven mitt to use it. Definitely recommend!

I recently purchased the American Metalcraft BASQ620 6" Square Aluminum Basting Cover for my Mexican food truck and it has been a game changer. The cover is made of durable aluminum and is able to withstand the heat of the grill without warping or bending. It has a convenient handle on the top for easy lifting and the square shape allows it to easily fit over my dishes on the grill. I love using this basting cover because it helps to keep the heat in and reduces cooking time while also keeping my food moist and flavorful. The tight-fitting lid also helps to prevent splatters and messes on the grill, making cleanup a breeze. Overall, I am delighted with my purchase of the American Metalcraft BASQ620 basting cover and would highly recommend it to anyone in the food industry. It is a reliable and efficient tool that has dramatically improved the quality and speed of my cooking.

Ii use these covers for paninis on my food truck griddle. It really helps melt the cheese and speed up the cooking process. They don't clean up as easily as I'd like; it takes quite a bit of elbow grease to get the grease off. Overall, I'm happy with them and would recommend them.

Same as the 10” cover I own, this is great for cheese melting on single burgers and getting some steam going on grilled veggies on the flat top.

We use these at our restaurant to cover our fresh housemade sausages while they are on the grill. The square lids fit over them much better than circle lids and actually fit more underneath. We will be buying square lids from now on!

This 10" Square basting cover works great if you have two hamburgers that need to come out at the same time. You can cover both at the same time, and the customers get the same exact kind of sandwich or hamburger they ordered. Works great!

Great addition to the kitchen. We were using old lids and it was looking a little amateurish. These do a great job, priced well, and look very professional for the open kitchen.

Great square basting cover and works well to cover steamed vegetables on a countertop griddle. Large 10" size, and square shape is efficient. It is easy to wash too.

These are great! We use these if we need to melt cheese on multiple sandwiches at once on our griddle. We can fit 4 sandwiches at once underneath the basting cover. The plastic handle does not overheat so it's easy to handle while cooking.

Screw top handle was a little loose whenever we received it, but after tightening it has worked great. Makes cooking on our flattop more efficient with the square shape. Would recommend to others.

I have been using two of these griddle domes for the last two years in a kitchen that produces quite a lot of grilled cheeses. The domes work perfect, my only complaint would be the knob on top becomes loose, and it is not possible to read tighten the screw. It actually stripped the knob. All in all I would definitely order again if I need more.

I do wish this was a little bit taller for steaming sandwiches on the grill, but it does the job well enough. It also cleans up nicely at the end of the day.

We use these for melting our grilled cheese on the griddle in the food truck. They work great and are easy to clean. We ended up drilling a little whole in the top to have the steam escape for our purposes.

The knob comes off of this top quite easily. We have purchased replacement knobs, but they break as well. You don't need a special basting cover. Just use an aluminum pie pan

The knobs don't come already attached to the cover. They come separately and the purchaser has to screw them on. The knob stripped super easily when being attached, so it's forever loose. :-(
