I got the 10Qt model and now I'm trying to figure out if I can get a standard lid that will fit on top of it for non-pressure cooking. Any ideas anyo

I do this all the time by using the pressure cooker lid and setting it to release steam. Works great!

I bought the Fagor Futuro in 6 quart and 10 quart. Check out http://www.fagoramerica.com/shop2/accessories. They recommend GLASS LID 9" Item#: 998229000 for the 6 quart. They recommend GLASS LID 10" Item#: 998228000 for the 10 quart. Amazon sells the GLASS LID 9" Item#: 998229000 under the title Fagor 8.5-inch Glass Lid. Fagor seems to size both seals and lids to the diameter of the lip on the base that touches the seal. Not the inside diameter nor the outside diameter but in between. The 8.5 on Amazon seems to refer to the inside diameter. That threw me off when I first bought my 6 quart pressure cooker. Amazon lost my sale for the lid. At second glance, I realized Amazon does have the right part number but the wrong diameter.

I think if you carefully read your manual, you will find that you can use the existing lid without pressure. Good luck! I have the smaller, 6 quart and love it. I had been using my mother's old Presto from the 1950s and I'm delighted to be cooking in stainless instead of aluminum. Also, the seal on the Fagor is easier to establish. Again, good luck!

You may contact Fagor, I believe they sell lids so you can use the pressure cooker as a regular pan

Sharon, I'd probably take the cooker to a few local thrift stores (lol) to see what I could find. They always seem to have an abundance of pot lids in various sizes - but no pots to match. If that doesn't work, just go to the Fagor website and see what they have to offer. Wow, you got a 10 QT model! I'm coming over for dinner!

I have the standard 10.25" diameter skillet; so I assume the lid will fit the 3qt Fryer, which also has a 10.25" diameter. It certainly won't fit the 5qt Fryer as that has a 12" diameter.

Not sure about the 8" one, my 10" didn't come with a lid. But if it does, it would state it in the description, and the description for the 8" makes no mention of it. But I found my 10" Calphalon lid fit it perfectly, and others I have that are to that size. The 8, 10 and 12" sizes are pretty much standard and your 8" lid from another set should work just fine.

I just purchased one of these from Kmart and after cleaning it and getting ready to can, read the booklet that specifically states NOT to use on glass cooktop. I returned it for a refund and am now looking for a flat-bottomed canner that is no larger than 1 inch bigger than the burner on my cooktop. I am looking for a stainless steel one that will last. I'm shying away from the porcelain due to the porcelain overlay may cause damange to my cooktop. I read this in one of the reviews from this type.

Yea I loved to cook with it, but I even contacted the maker of the thing & they told me they no longer make or service it. Now I got a nesco which has a gasket that looks exactly the same as Montel Williams one. If your brave enough try them. You lose though if it doesn't fit.

I have one I can sell you as my husband messed up the lid of mine and I ended up buying another brand pressure cooker (luckily i bought extra gaskets and seals when i bought the cooker in the beginning.) Other than that the montel Williams one is no longer made and neither are the parts or gaskets. I searched for some time tring to find the replacement part for my lid. And was finally told its no longer supported.

What kind of pan do you want to use? The picture I see is an aebelskiver pan. I don't know if there's even a cover for it. I think the best thing you could do would be to contact Lodge Mfg.--they have sites on the internet--and see what they tell you. otherwise, you could measure the diameter and what kind of lid would work. (I'm sure you'll want a lid that won't rest too close to the food and squish it.)

Cook's Illustrated Magazine just did recommendations on the lids for this T-fal skillet. They highly recommended the Paderno World Cuisine Stainless Steel 12.5 Inch Lid, but it's pretty pricey. Their second recommendation is the Norpro Stainless Steel Universal Pan Cover for half the cost. They did have one reservation about this lid and said, "Its wide, flat rim rested reliably on the pan's edge, although it left a few tiny gaps and also loosely fit our favorite 12-inch pans. Its plastic handle grew too hot to touch." I am ordering this one to try. Needed the lid the other night and foil just didn't do the job.

I have both skillets (much older version on the LCS3). The P10S3 has more slope on the sides thus a smaller actual flat cooking area. This glass lid on Amazon -Tempered Glass Lid 24 cm (9.5 inches) Diameter (type it in the search area) fits the P10S3 perfectly so I use this pan when I want to poach eggs for example or cover something. The LCS3 has drain notches on the sides so a lid does not work as well and, in my opinion, lids are harder to find, but has a little larger flat area (where the food rest) for cooking. I like them both very much and they season up well. Only other thing is the P10S3 has a larger and more manageable handle on the end...some people require two hands to manuver these heavy skillets so that is a nice feature. Hope that helps.

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.

The cooking surface is 6.25" x 6.25". My 8" skillet fits perfectly. Ditto for the 2qt saucepan I use. I don't think anything larger than the footprint of a 10" skillet would be feasible. Anything with the footprint of an 8" skillet or smaller would be the way to go/ideal.

You should get the 3-4 qt one. I ordered 3-4 q. the size was OK but the rubber sealer was very narrow and thin. I threw it away. I trusted the description on the package. I have exactly the same pressure cooker that you have. The best way is to go to a shop such as Walmart or ......, take the sealer and get the right one. I got the correct one from a friend who bought it from a shop. Good luck.

I have two ot the Fagor pressure cookers a smaller one and the 10 quart and the small one is great for smaller dishes but the ten quart is fantastic for large roasts and hugh corned beef and cabbage dinners. My suggestion is go for the larger unit.

After buying several lids for this pan, I found the Nordic Wear restaurant 12" brush stainless steel lid to have the best fit. It's somewhat flimsy but costs under $20 at Amazon. The type of cooking I do in the pan doesn't require use of a lid for very long.

You can find one that fits well on Amazon, just search for Anchor-Hocking 2 qt Batter-Bowl lid. I am not sure the lid is less than another whole set.

It did not fit my Ultrex 8 qt pressure cooker but theres really no generic sealing ring. I'm still looking for one to fit. I know now I need an accurate inside & outside diameter measurement. Make sure you measure your's.
