Jill,
In that case I would call the Cookware and More people and see if they
happen to sell lids separately... never seen them there, but it couldn't
hurt to call. A 6" lid should fit both (unless the 2 qt. happens to be a
saucier). I have a 1-1/2 qt. All-Clad pan that I use constantly and it also
uses the 6" lid.
