Triply Lids: Stainless Steel vs Glass - Which Is Better?
The lid is half the vessel’s performance. Steel vs glass is a real trade-off - here it is, honestly.
Stainless steel lids
Pros: indestructible, oven-safe at any temperature, stackable, matches the vessel. Cons: can’t see inside - you lift (losing heat) to check.
Glass lids
Pros: visibility - monitor without lifting; lighter. Cons: breakable, limited oven temperature (check rating), steam vent needed.
The verdict
Daily cooking: glass wins on convenience. Oven use / commercial: steel wins on durability. Many owners end up with both - and that’s the honest answer.
