Is the metal ring around the edge of the lid sharp or is it rounded that it won't scratch a pan if it fits inside the pan

The edge of the lid is smooth and it has not scratched the pan. Unfortunately, the lids are much better than the Ozeri pans, IMO.

The metal ring is round not sharp and would not scratch pan if it fits inside the pan

There is a metal piece under the lid vent mechanism and it feels like there may be a metal ring around the outer edge. The lid itself is great for those odd shaped pots. I have used mine on a 12" skillet and it fits perfectly. I don't think I would use it in the microwave and definitely not in the oven.

All parts of it that make contact are flat. It has a slight upwards indentation in the outer most diameter of the ring, but the center circle goes down to the same level of the edges flatly. I guess the profile of the bottom is sorta like this: l\___/l. Hope that makes sense!

The finish on this pan is a little rough. If you have a stove-top surface that is easily scratched, you may want to avoid this item. (Especially for your planned use -- you'll be vigorously moving the pan around on the hot eye.) Several times while caring for this item, I have scratched/cut myself on the handle part. The bottom of the pan I received is safe, but it is a little rough and irregular. The pan is also a little heavy for your intended use.

It didn't scratch mine. I have a gas stove now. Really love her pans! I think you will too.

So it is said. Nothing has peeled off and not a scratch on it. It is my wife's favorite pan. She seldom uses anything else. Surface is just as slippery as when I bought it. Nothing to dislike about this pan at all. We had a glass lid from another pan that fits perfectly. We love this particular pan.

I have opened a plastic peanut butter lid, but it was ridged. Not sure about a smooth one. It did not leave marks on metal.

Its not completely smooth, there are small grooves, very shallow, cut into the bottom in concentric circles. Not sure if it would scratch the hot plate.

They are slightly rounded and smooth ans they haven't damaged our stainless steel pans but using it in a non stick with a soft surface might make you nervous.

I would not recommend using any metal utensil. I did so last week as I was in a hurry grabbed the wrong utensil and flipped an egg; found upon washing the fry pan I had scratched the surface. It was minor but nonetheless after using countless times I had caused this one scratch. I otherwise, am very impressed with this fry pan. LJM

The inside has the Circulon non stick coating. It is very tough and hasn't scratched. I use mine mainly for cooking vegetables and pasta. The seal is not as good as a regular saucepan because of the spout. I like a heavier gauge steel for sauces and rice.

Unfortunately the corners are sharp. This is a kitchen for an older kid. Mine just turned 5 and we bought it for him last Christmas and before that he had two other kitchens that were plastic with all rounded edges. Hope that helps.

The pan has a lip indentation that you can drain it somewhat with the lid held on. You would have to hold it on, and I would suggest very good oven mitts if you are going to try that. However, I have to wonder why you would ask if you can screw the lid on?? It is oval.

No, it's not completely rounded like a wok, but the bowl shape is wok-like.

There is a slight groove, it is shallow and smooth, but it is not raised in the middle. It is a very sturdy pizza pan, the stainless steel is very thick. I definitely recommend this pan.

This model opens the lid from around the top and does not leave any sharp edges. I really like it.

None at all. I've owned the 16" for about six years now, and no problem. I just bought this smaller sized one as we're now empty nested and don't need such a large skillet. Use wooden or plastic utensils with it, never metal, and it should last many years.
