can you use any glass lids on the instant pots, or is this one a must? I have many lids from pan sets that may work with the instant pot...

you can probably use one of your currently existing lids so long as the measurements match up. there is nothing particularly distinctive about this lid in comparison to lids for other cookers except for the small steaming vent hole as seen in the photo.

I tried every pot lid I had and they didn't fit just right, so I ordered one. It didn't cost much and it fits perfectly.

You can use any crockpot type lid that fits. Meaning, crockpot lids tend to have a "special" type of rubber seal around them and have a "vent" hole. Note the hole at the 4 o'clock position in the picture.

Sorry, no idea. I sent mine to Goodwill. I use one of my other glass lids of the same size. I like to be able to see what's in the pan.

No the lids can't go in the oven. I use tin foil or don't cover it at all when cooking in the oven. I love the Snapware Glasslock containers so much that I bought two sets!

I use one from another pot. Pretty standard size, but I don't think a lid is available for the specific pan.

I didn't read the other answers until after i posted mine. You should buy the glass lid.

I was lucky to find the right sized lids at one of my local thrift stores. I looked for glass, insulated tops, and the right circumference. I try to be as thrifty as possible. The pans don't seem to mind.

Mine has a black stainless steel lid, No glass lid. But it works very well. I really like the pots. I have cooked all kinds of things in it. You do have to let it get very hot first and for a while and then you can lower it. My friend calls it the "magic pot." I think she is right.

Comes with glass lids for all the pots, but not the skillets. You may be able to find aftermarket lids, but I don't know for sure.

I would address this question to the company particularly with respect to glass top stoves. Don't have one; don't like them. The pot is very narrow relatively to height and I think not an appropriate canning pressure cooker.

If you mean glass lid, if it fits tightly over the cooker it should work. I use my pressure cooker lid for slow cooking and it works just fine.

Mine didn't come with lids...I had some glass top lids from previous skillets and they fit fairly well so I presume most standard lids would work. Hope that helps!

the instruction book says; some glass stovetops may not produce enough heat/energy required for safe pressure canning-suggests not to use. hope that helps

They should work well. We have All-Clad stainless lids and they do the trick...no tea pot however. The handle covers may be loose given they are universal and will fit many types of lid handles. They are secure however and avoid the need for a pot holder. Hope this helped.

I do not know. Are there specific pots you can use on a glass top stove? This is an aluminum pot ... which I absolutely love ... if that helps at all.

Hmmm...I thought the brand was GraniteWare, but I guess that is incorrect base on Martha F's response. As for the stainless steel lids, I have used a stainless steel lid with the one I bought and it worked out just fine. I've used a glass lid as well with no problems. I will say this: these pans are not at all non-stick. If you have anything that'll burn on the bottom or stick to the pan, you have to stir constantly at a low heat to keep the bottom from sticking and burning. Everything else about the pan has worked out just fine for me.

I use the lid from the Infinite 10.5" covered buffet casserole. But each pot needs it's own lid for me, so I found an extra one on eBay. It was a random sale, but keep looking. The universal pan lid cover also works very well.

absolutely fine to use over gas burner, we do it all the time, and in the oven. However, be careful with the lids, because they do not appear to be the same quality glass as the pots. One of ours shattered when subjected to rapid cooling
