Yes you can cook with the lid on. I have done so multiple times with no change in the lid.

I always leave the lid on when heating water. It heats more efficiently that way.

Yes you can cook with the lid on with no problems. Just be careful when taking it off, the steam from the boiling water will get you

Lid can be opened on slow cook. Cannot open on pressure cook, unless you release the pressure, then open.

My best answer, from using that style saute/fry pan here and in Europe, is no lid. In fact, I've never seen or used a lid on them. Not much of an answer, though captured moisture, also from a lid, might compromise the cured surface of the pan. Looking back, I really hate this answer, but there you go... Morgan Phenix

You're not supposed to clamp the lid while cooking. For those who do, the hole allows pressure to escape with no damage.

No, in fact the instructions claim the lids are not to be used during cooking process on the stovetop or in the oven. However, I always use mine on the stove top and haven't had any problems. It is recommended to use them after the food has been removed from the stove/oven to keep the food warm and in the fridge for an airtight seal to keep food fresh.

yes, you can microwave it without the lid on. However the mug is very tall and it actually doesn't fit in my microwave.

You can fry with the lid on, but it is hard to see through the little window while it is cooking. It fogs up. I tend to not use the cover at all. Whether it has a charcoal filter, I don't know. It looks like the filter you find in your over the range microwave oven vent. Hope this helps.

No need for a lid. My guess it would cause the noodles not to cook properly.

Yes you can, however I have not placed the lid in there only the pan with foil on top. works really well!

Yes there is a lid and you can keep it on while cooking. You can find this information on the product's website: http://www.gopresto.com/products/products.php?stock=05466

Yes, the lid can go in the oven and on the grill. This is a great pot to use when you barbeque.

Yes you can. I just tried it again just to make sure. But I only did it for 30 seconds and not a problem. The only thing I can think of that might happen if you heat it too long is that the cover might expand or be slightly sucked inwards due to the vacuum that may be created. I have had this happen with other lids (different brand) with no harm done.

No. These are very light and easy to work with. The lids fit well, and there are those little 'vapor' valves on top which allows for better cooking.

Yes you can fry with the lid on. There is NO charcoal filter. I still use the deep fryer in the garage to avoid having the house smell like oil

The instruction manual says the glass lid can be used during slow cooking. However, this is apparently only true for the newer IP DUO model.

Hi Lorna, Yes you can! But it is important to keep the temperature at more of a medium range and monitor the surface temperature as these can get very hot. Keep in mind the temperature at the lid will be much cooler than the grill surface temperature. In one experiment we did trying to push the limits, the lid temperature was at 550 degrees yet the actual surface temperature was 1000 degrees. So in summary, Yes, but keep the temperature at a lower range and or leave the lid open. Thank you for your question!!! Jamie

Yes no problem! You need to cut off the plastic between the handle so you can take it off to put the lid on though!
