dutch oven lid
Heavy cookware cap
A dutch oven lid is the heavy cover for a dutch oven, typically made of cast iron with a raised rim around the edge.
The rim allows hot coals to be placed on top for even heating from above and below—essential for baking bread or simmering stews over a campfire.
Some lids double as skillets when inverted.
