My Stainless Clad Lid is Not Coming OffUpdated 10 months ago
Stainless Clad lids can create a strong seal due to the temperature difference between the covered hot air inside the pan and cooler air in your kitchen. This most often occurs if you cover the pan and then immediately turn down the heat. Instead, make any large temperature adjustments prior to covering your pan to avoid creating a vacuum. You can also lift the lid slightly if you need to turn the heat from medium to low, for example, to avoid this.
To remove the lid, bring the pan to low heat on your stovetop. While holding the pan firmly, grasp the lid's handle, and pull upwards. This will release the vacuum seal.
