AMT Glass Lid, Ø16cm

A: The 16cm AMT milk and sauce pot, in both its standard and induction versions. That is the pan this diameter exists for on CookUp.

A: To hold temperature without raising the heat. A covered pot keeps a sauce or a custard at a steady point with a lower setting, which is exactly what delicate mixtures need to avoid catching.

A: It reduces it, because a skin forms where the surface cools and dries. Covering the pot keeps the surface warm and humid, though it does not replace stirring or a layer of butter on the surface.

A: No, and this is the exception. Reduction depends on evaporation, so a lid works directly against it. Cover for the holding stage and uncover to reduce.

A: Only pans of the same 16cm diameter. Lid sizes are matched to the pan rim, so a lid that is close but not exact will either drop inside or sit unevenly.
