Does anyone have an idea what the clear lid is made of and how thick it is?

It's like some sort of plastic and it's about an inch thick. I would recommend a vaccum oven though it works waaaaaay better than this

The box is very sturdy. Nothing bends or gives when one presses on the top or sides. I took a digital caliper and measured mine. The lid is made of steel plate that measures 0.186" thick. That's well over 1/8" (.125"). The metal on the box is also steel plate that measures 0.141" thick which is also over 1/8". This is not a 'tin box' with a lock - it's a welded box made of steel plate. Very high quality product.

It is hard plastic with a removable rubber ring around it like other travel mug lids. The rubber ring makes it fit snuggly and it removes easily for cleaning.

It's the older one with aluminum lid. Also it burned when I made tamales. Had to throw it out. I wouldn't buy another one. Sorry I don't have better advise.

The exterior of the lids are silicon, and i'm fairly certain the the middle of the lids are polycarbonate with a thermal weld between the two, but the manufacture data isn't exactly clear (if it was you wouldn't be asking). no info on the country of manufacture

no the lid is not transparent. I don't know of a compatible transparent lid.

The cover/lid is metal. The product appears to be entirely made of metal. I don't use it; my wife does and she really likes it.

The lids are glass with a plastic ring that seals them very tightly! Truly a quality product!

Hard plastic, with some flexibility. Lid has not cracked. Pan is 5cm or about 2 1/4 inches deep.

Not entirely sure but the Zojirushi website has lots of info. It's a hard plastic with what I think is gray silicone gasket. The lid disassembles for cleaning into 3 pieces. I can't say enough about this mug. If maintaining temperature over SEVERAL hours (although I've only used it for hot) is important to you, this thing is the bomb. And it's beautifully designed.

It's made from a glazed ceramic or pottery. It has a wooden lid. It seals good and looks great. We like it a lot. I would buy it again.

I would guess aluminum, the top of the lid is black, silver on the underside

I believe it is a galvanized stainless steel. I have been using mine for a few months, and they are in perfect condition. Also, the food does not touch the lid anyway because you have to leave about an inch or two at the top for the bubbles and air.

The lid is made of thick plastic. The middle part of lid comes apart to keep screen clean from tree debris. It only takes a few minutes as needed to keep clean. Works very well and looks good. The lid snaps on over container. I seeno problem with sagging.

Yes, it is clear a plexiglass that feels/looks like regular glass. We've had this bucket several years now and the lid has not gotten scratched at all and remains nice and clear.

Seems to be a very hard plastic and durable. I looked at the box and it doesn't describe what they are made of. Not a bad product, easy to clean. After using them for a while, I find that they are not too easy to open.

The one I purchased does have a clear lid. Be sure to read the description, as one Med-e-lert has a white lid and another has a clear lid.
