Lodge Tempered Glass Lid ($11.78) from Amazon

The topping on a pan, much like the frosting on a cake or sprinkles on an ice cream sundae, can add an element of … how you say: "je ne sais quoi" to a dish by sealing in its gosh-given moisture and taking your dish to a whole new level. 

Using an ergonomic design with an easy-hold handle, this Lodge Tempered Glass Lid fits over most 10-inch to 10.25-inch Lodge cast iron skillets and 5-quart Dutch ovens for the kind of worry-free cooking you've always dreamed about — probably while smoking a pipe, staring out your window, practicing your pretentious French idioms.

An ultra-durable design paired with thermal shock-resistant technology keeps this handy glass lid safe from cracking and shattering while on the stove or in the oven. The stainless steel rim and silicone knob are both oven-safe but only up to 400 degrees — so be aware. 

Typically priced at $26.85, this Lodge Tempered Glass Lid can be all yours today for $11.78 from Amazon.
