Do you need a lid to cook paella?

I used a recipe I found on www.paellapans.com/Paella-Recipe- Seafood and it worked fine. Adding the chicken is no problem- just sauté the chicken with a bit of garlic in oil in the paellera prior to adding the rice. I used ready made fishstock , available in cartons in the soup section of the supermarket. I also used Bomba rice ( like the pros!). After failing to find it locally,I ended up buying that on Amazon . It seemed expensive but makes lots of paellas and keeps well. Sorry I can't print out the recipe but I'm late for work. Good Luck!

I use a Cooks Illustrated recipe for paella (adjusted somewhat). Part of the cooking is on the stovetop and part in the oven where I cover the pan with heavy duty aluminum foil as per the recipe. This works really well. I have this pan myself and have bought it as a gift, it cooks and cleans up well. Paella always makes a stunning presentation for a dinner party, and it's delicious!

No lid. Max oil fill line is well below the top edge so there is very little splatter if that's what you are concerned about.

I did not want (or receive) a lid with my pan. I just sit a larger size pan over it for a few minutes if I need a lid. Regardless, I have found that by exercising proper care, it is the best non-stick pan I have ever owned, and I've had them all.

I am sorry I cannot be of help. I did not need a lid. I use it for frying . Sorry I couldn't help.

No you do not need the lid unless you are wanting to serve the food in the aluminum pot and then you might want the lid. You do not need it if you intend to transfer contents to another container when you are done.

Snap the two pieces together and then just put them on top of the pot with no lid. This allows steam to escape without running your food over onto the stove.

No lid but I had an All Clad 8- inch lid from non stick I replaced with this, and it fits perfectly. Great pan !

nhullen, No it doesn't have a lid. I use a plate, with about 1/2 inch space around it and some kind of wieght on top of plate. It made great saurkraut, I recommend this crock for sure.

No, sadly this pan does not come with a lid. Wish it would, then it would be perfect!

No, there really isn't a lid for it. I use it to make oatmeal in the morning so I don't need one. I use it also to melt butter, etc. I worried about it not having a lid too but so far, it hasn't been a problem.

Dear Yidan, Thank you for your inquiry. No that is designed without a lid. Should you wish to use a lid, we recommend using a universal lid that is sold at any store that sells cookware in your area. Thank you for allowing me to be of service to you. Kind regards, Audrey Consumer Relations

Hmm. I've never used a lid for it. If I were, I'd use a standard fry lid. It would cover, so keep heat and oil in, but it wouldn't seal for, say, simmering. The pan is designed more for stir fry or sauté or light cooking, not for boiling I think. Picture shaking the pan to flip the food :) It's more for quick cooking, not to leave it on the heat and walk away. Cheers!

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

No lid. It's small ... Like 2 inches. I don't know how you use it for, board or plastic cannot goes in oven.

Hi, Richard. I agree with "Jay" that you use this steamer in combination with the sauce pan and use the lid that comes with the sauce pan. In short, no, this steamer does not come with a lid.

There is NO lid. I think it just meant in general that the glass lids are heat resistant.

I saute all the time before cooking. I do this to brown sausage and onions when I make jambalaya for example. The saute funtion works with the lid off so you can stir stuff around and add ingredients too.
