Technical Details


French manufacturer Sitram produces commercial-grade, stainless-steel cookware for restaurant, hotel, and institutional kitchens worldwide--serious home cooks also use this cookware to advantage. Designed to withstand rough treatment, its bright, shiny appearance lasts indefinitely, and it is stain- and corrosion-resistant. And with no inside rivets to clean around, it scrubs up hygienically and painlessly. This is cookware for cooks who value heavy, bang-around durability over fancy design. This lid goes safely into ovens, under broilers, and through the dishwasher. Though intended to go with Sitram Profiserie pots and pans, it will fit any 11-inch-wide pan. --Fred Brack


Sitram Profiserie 11 InchStainless Steel Lid Customer Review


I bought the same item from Costco (Business division)--same Sitram part number-- for 13 bucks instead of Amazon's 22 bucks.

Decently designed and made, very light weight, with a tiny vent hole near the edge. The finish is polished, not brushed like the Profiserie pots. It fits all the 28 cm rim diameter (so-called 11 inch) Sitram Profiserie pots. For me that means the 28 cm saute pan and frypan (both excellent). This Profiserie lid has a D shaped flat strap handle, with slightly smaller attachment pads than the Catering style. Perhaps the smaller spot weld pad is a weak point, but that's common to all inexpensive commercial grade lids. The more expensive 'Catering' lids have a rod shaped handle with 90 degree sides (a bit more roomy) and bigger attachment pads. The Profiserie rim edge is not actually sharp, nor rough, but it's pretty hard edged -- 'utility' grade, not luxury grade. So don't rub your hand against it. Or maybe smooth it into a nice radius with a steel or a ceramic stick or some emery paper. I haven't bothered. I physically checked a bunch of them, and some were a bit harder edged than others, but none were dangerous. I only comment on this because somewhere on Amazon there is a (no doubt accurate) complaint about a sharp edge on some Sitram object that slipped through QC.

All the Sitram Profiserie stuff is made to be 'rode hard' (although not 'put away wet') by French line cooks and should last me the rest of my life if I don't use it to pound nails or stun burglers.
