Has anyone used these with the Calphalon kitchen essentials lids?

Actually I do have one Calphalon lid in one of my Cabinet Door Lid Holder. I bought 2 Cabinet Door Lid Holders so I could store most of the lids I have. I also store pirex lids, lids for pots and pans, as well as lids for my mixing bowls. The Cabinet Door Lid Holder can be versatile as to the kind and size of the lids because you can bend them a little to get different lids to fit.

Agree with the first answer; Calphalon lides don't fit in this item. They slide around and/or slide out completely.

I don't think they would work for pot lids, unless your lids have a wide lip on them, sorry

No I have not had this problem at all. I have three of these lids this one a ten and twelve inch. Use them quite a bit. Put them in the dish washer when I'm done.

Yes, you can use regular canning rings with these lids. I suggest you keep the ring on after the canning process. My experience is that this lids came loose after a couple of days, but they worked very well for some people with the rings staying tight for some time.

Did anyone find lids that worked for these? They are useless to me without luds, but maybe perfect with lids.

Hmmm...I wonder if your lids are unusually thick or oddly shaped. Have you put them in as the photo indicates, with the smallest on the bottom and getting larger as they go up? Are you able to post a photo of your predicament?

No they do not. I bought them to use on Fancy Feast cans but none fit. I have a tip. I was at my wits end trying to find a lid I could use on extra small (Fancy Feast) cat food cans. I finally contacted Purina customer service and they sent me 4 with coupons for free cans of cat food. They were super nice. I started at Purina.com and called customer service. I had my lids in a week.

what about lids? where do we find the lids for this product? do they work well with them?

I didn't buy the lids, but I'll bet they would fit. Maybe someone else will speak up if they did purchase lids.

I believe that was me. I received this along with the double boiler universal insert. They did not fit into any of the calphalon unison pots in my set. It's got different indentations around the bottom so that it will settle in, but none of them created any kind of useful seal. I can't remember if it was too small or too large since so long ago.

Yes, I use the lids all the time for the pots and the skillets. The center of the lid is glass but that isn't quite as much of a help as you might expect at first because the lid becomes covered with condensation when the food is cooking. Otherwise, they work well and fit tightly. I'm still really enjoying this set of cookware and they are holding up well to regular use.

I use them with the 12oz mason jars. But, these lids would fit any regular mouth jar...just not the wide mouth jars.

I just tried the lids on both frying pans and they both fit just inside the rim and not on the rim; I am not sure if that qualifies as "fitting" or not.

I used these lids on my old pint sized jars and they were great. As long as they are the regular mouth and NOT the wide mouth jars the lids will work.

I haven't tried to use them in this manner but, to be honest, I think that would be asking for trouble. These lids are tight, but not bulletproof. You should probably try to find something where the lid screws on tightly, rather than pushes down to form a seal. My opinion only.

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!

I think they would do well for you. They have a great seal you just have to master the art of getting the lids on. Once you get a handle on that you will love them. Press the lid down in one spot then work the rest of the lid down with thumbs while pressing down. I got a bit frustrated at first with the lids but once you get the hang of it they are great I have no regrets with this purchase and did buy more.
