If you were hit that hard, you'd crack too, dear.

She's right, you know. This may be an opportunity. Unless you have
a real reason for wanting an iron lid, you might consider glass. I've
found that some Chantal (and look-alikes) lids also fit US vessels.
Metric measurement (in cm) of ouyr vessel can be compared to the
Chantal product listings on their site. I, for one, prefer being able
to see my dish without removing the lid. I use Chantal lids on my
Cuisinart Copperware. The Cuisinarts are metal.
