Has anyone used this for holding a hot lid when cooking?

I have not. But since it's bamboo, it should be ok. Has held up well with what we use it for, holding plates.

No, I have not. I would imagine the bamboo will tolerate that kind of heat.

What are the dimension in between? I want to use this to hold up some binders for my kids homework.

No, the handle and lid are very resistant to heat. But I haven't cooked over high heat for an extended period. Overall, a very nice pan!

I have used mine for coffee and it the lid works great. The only problem is the glass jar gets hot to the touch so this makes it hard to hold onto.

The lid handles do get hot, and you will need pot holders to lift the lids. You do not need pot holders for the long handles. That is the only drawback to these pans, I love them otherwise!

I've only used it for.canning and as a large stock pot. Works great I have have no problems since ordering. I rarely use the pressure lid as most of.my canning process doesn't require it.

I have a handle holder that is more like a quilted potholder. I leave it on the handle of my pan which I use everyday. I like it better than these silicone ones that can get singed by the electric stove burners. I think this is the one I have Lodge HHMT Max Temp Handle Mitt, Black

If you have "chef hands," you probably would be able to lift the lid without an oven mitt, but I have thin skin and so cannot. The handle doesn't get hot on my burner. I also have to use a pot holder on the inside cups, but a professional chef could do without.

My lid does not fit tight but it has not affected the cooking process. I steam a variety of vegetables in it every day and it works quickly and great!

We use them to hold the lid on our Nesco cooker, and we use them to hold the lid on during transport. we use one from each handle to the knob on the top.

You know, I was thinking about the pot handle, not the lid handle. Pot handle definitely does NOT get hot. Will try to boil something tonight and get back to you regarding the LID!

Peg ... I've had the lid for several months now and have had no problem at all. I'll admit that I typically don't cook the food so that it is producing large quantities of steam. It seems to act more as a gradual release, but I'd still be careful when handling it. I love this lid. It fits very well and the silicone rim makes a tight fit and a nice cushion against any pot or pan.

I have not. But judging from the fact that my griddle warped on medium-high heat after only weeks of use, I would not use it. Great for pancakes, torillas, eggs over easy.

I have used mine for that, it just takes a few minutes to get hot. This is a handy little melter and I have used mine for several different things.

I have used it for frying without the lid but never for steaks. I would use a cast iron or grill for steaks and burgers. Hope this helps.

I don't actually think a lid would work with it due to the pouring spout and helpful handle on the opposite side, as well as the brackets that hold on the looped handle. That being said, it is a wonderful vessel for cooking jelly. I've made three batches so far, it heats evenly on my induction stovetop with its stainless steel flat bottom. Cleanup is a breeze. Its a very nice pan, especially for the price.
