We analysed the Amazon.co.uk subcategory Lids — replacement and universal covers for pans, pots and pressure cookers you already own, not the storage boxes that come with lids included — and kept only products with at least 200 reviews and 4.3 stars. Ranked by estimated monthly revenue, seven of the ten are tempered glass, four are universal lids sold in diameter bands rather than exact sizes, and one entry is a Le Creuset wine cooler sleeve that is not a lid by any definition.
The revenue leader: one tempered glass lid with a silicone rim that covers 24, 26 and 28 cm pans — three sizes for £13.99.
Check the price on AmazonThe revenue leader: one tempered glass lid with a silicone rim that covers 24, 26 and 28 cm pans — three sizes for £13.99.
Not a lid: a chilled sleeve that slides over a wine bottle, sitting at rank 2 purely because Amazon files it in this subcategory.
The most expensive entry at £48 and strictly system-specific: three lids for Ingenio pans in 18, 18 and 20 cm, down 29% over the observed period.
The large-pan band: one lid for 33, 36 and 38 cm cookware at £25.99, which is the size range most pan sets never include.
The lowest price here at £6.99, and a different job entirely: four steel discs that sit over unused hob rings rather than over food.
The glass lid for the 5.7 litre Instant Pot at £12.99 — bought by pot volume rather than by diameter, and only useful if you own that machine.
The widest band of the three Walfos entries, covering 20 to 30 cm at £23.99 — same lid family, different range.
The most reviewed listing on the page with 39,825 reviews, although that number is shared across six lid variants — this one fits the 3 litre cooker and costs £18.73.
A stainless dome for melting cheese over a burger, listed at 22.5 by 12 by 16 cm — a griddle tool rather than a pan lid, and up 35% in price.
The middle band at £22.99 for 28, 30 and 32 cm — three Walfos lids in one top ten, separated only by the sizes they cover.

Cookware diameter is the outside of the rim at the top, and that is what every lid here is sold against. Measuring the old lid instead adds a few millimetres and lands you in the wrong band.
A universal lid is a stepped dome that rests inside a range of diameters: 24 to 28 cm here, 20 to 30 cm there, 33 to 38 cm for the big pans. Four of this top ten work that way, and three of them are the same Walfos lid in three different bands.
The Tefal Ingenio set and both Instant Pot lids fit their own cookware and nothing else, which is why they are sold by model and pot volume rather than by centimetres. If you own the system, buy the system lid; if not, it is the wrong £48.
Tempered glass lets you watch a sauce without lifting anything and dominates this ranking. Steel is lighter and survives being dropped but shows you nothing. A melting dome is a third thing altogether, made to trap steam over a burger on a flat griddle.
On a universal lid the heat-resistant silicone rim is what seals against three different diameters and what keeps glass off metal. It is also the part to look at when a lid rattles or sits proud instead of settling.
This subcategory also holds hob cover protectors, a melting dome and, at rank 2, a wine cooler sleeve. Read what the product actually does before comparing prices: the least expensive entry in this ranking covers your hob rings, not your dinner.
If the pan diameter falls inside the band given in the listing, yes — the stepped glass rests on one of its rings and the silicone rim takes up the difference. Measure across the top of the rim rather than the base, and bear in mind that a lid sitting on its widest step is less stable than one two sizes down.
Because Amazon files it in this subcategory, and it earns enough there to reach rank 2. It is a wine bottle cooler, not a lid. We leave miscategorised entries where Amazon puts them and label them, because that is the honest picture of what a subcategory ranking contains.
They are the same lid family in three diameter bands: 20 to 30 cm, 28 to 32 cm and 33 to 38 cm. All three share one review count of 2,586, so the rating describes the range rather than the band you buy. Pick the band first, then check what that band costs on the day.
The products are ordered by estimated monthly revenue per ASIN, not by star rating and not by bestseller rank. Only listings with at least 200 reviews and an average of 4.3 stars were included. In a spare-parts category like this one, revenue mostly tracks how many pans have lost their lid.
The score is not our own hands-on test. It is calculated transparently from public Amazon data: 75% from the average star rating and 25% from the number of reviews, weighted logarithmically. The ranking order itself comes from estimated monthly revenue per ASIN. Prices, ratings and review counts were retrieved from Amazon.co.uk on 22 July 2026 and can change at any time.
