Le Creuset Glass Lid with Stainless Steel Knob vs DIIG 12-Inch Glass Lid

The Le Creuset is the sturdier, better-finished lid, with a stainless steel knob and a tempered glass body rated oven-safe to 425°F. The DIIG is a plain replacement lid that costs far less and comes in more sizes, but its build and hardware are basic. Buy the Le Creuset if the lid will see oven heat or you want it to match a good pan; buy the DIIG if you just need a spare cover for a skillet.

• Choose the Le Creuset if you want an oven-safe tempered glass lid with a stainless knob that will hold up to daily cooking and dishwasher cycles.
• Choose the DIIG if you need a simple see-through replacement lid for a 10, 11 or 12 inch pan and don't need oven use.
