tempered glass lid

Heat-resistant pot top

A tempered glass lid is a cover for cookware made from glass that has been heat-treated to increase its strength and shatter resistance.

The transparent material lets cooks monitor food without lifting the lid and releasing heat.

If broken, tempered glass fractures into small, relatively harmless pieces rather than sharp shards.
