The lid is actually not the *lid*. I think it is for pressing because
it falls into the pan and has the circumference size is the size of
the bootom area of the pan.

Well, I asked the employee lady at the store and she said "It's really
good. People have been buying like crazy." Of cosure, this was last
November. With my latest experience with the incompetence of the store
employees (at electrical supply places) , I wouldn't have bought it.
But I guess, I will use it for boneless chicken breast. I only use
that type of meat for chicken except when I make soup where I use cut
up whole chicken. I haven't made soup for a while.
