Unpacking and Initial Inspection
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect the lid for any signs of damage before proceeding with assembly or use.
Handle Assembly
The lid handle may require assembly upon arrival. Follow these steps:
- Locate the handle, screw, and any washers (metal and plastic) provided in the package.
- Align the handle base with the pre-drilled hole on the glass lid.

Operating Instructions
Choosing the Right Size
This lid is specifically designed to fit 9-inch diameter pots, pans, and electric pressure cookers. For optimal fit, it is crucial to measure the inner diameter of your cookware.
This diagram illustrates how to accurately measure the inner diameter of various cookware types (pots with steps, frying pans, woks) to ensure proper lid fit.
This image provides the specific inner (215mm/8.46in) and outer (230mm/9in) dimensions of the Tighall 9-inch lid.
Usage
Place the lid securely on your cookware. The tempered glass allows you to monitor cooking progress without lifting the lid, thereby preserving heat and moisture. The integrated steam vent helps prevent boil-overs and reduces condensation buildup, ensuring clear visibility.

Oven Use
The lid is oven safe up to 392°F (200°C). Always use oven mitts or a pot holder when handling the lid from a hot oven to prevent burns.
Care and Maintenance
Cleaning
The Tighall tempered glass lid is dishwasher safe for convenient and easy cleaning.
For hand washing, use warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue and dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
Storage
Store the lid in a dry place. Avoid stacking heavy items directly on top of the lid to prevent potential damage to the glass or handle.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lid handle becomes loose. | The screw securing the handle has loosened over time due to regular use or temperature changes. | Gently re-tighten the screw on the underside of the lid. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the glass. |
| Lid does not fit cookware properly. | Incorrect size selected for your cookware, or the cookware rim design is not compatible with a universal lid. | Ensure the inner diameter of your cookware matches the lid's specifications (approximately 9 inches or 215mm). While designed for universal fit, it may not be compatible with all unique cookware designs. |
| Handle gets hot during cooking. | Heat transfer from the cookware, especially during prolonged cooking or high heat. | Always use a pot holder or oven mitt when handling the lid during or immediately after cooking to protect your hands. |
