Personally, I'd rather buy the pan and lid separately. I bought
several sizes of lids to fit my various pots and pans from a
restaurant supply store xx years ago and they are still going strong.
In fact, I just "inherited" some glass lids from a kid who had thrown
out the cookware they came with and I imagine I'll have them either
until I die or I move out of this house.... which ever comes first.
