According to the data at amazon.com both the 1 qt and 2 qt All-Crap
sauce pans are a 6" diameter and take the same lid. Depending where
All-Crap cookware is purchased it may or may not include lids, and the
price will reflect the difference with a lower amount without lids. If
lids are important to you then buy them... I would suggest buying just
one lid... personally I see no use whatsoever for a 1 qt pot.
