A lid is a cover or top that fits securely over the opening of a pot, pan, or other cooking vessel. It is used to trap heat and moisture during cooking, which helps to cook food evenly and retain its flavors and nutrients. Lids come in various shapes and sizes to fit different pots and pans, and they are typically made of the same material as the cooking vessel, such as glass, metal, or silicone. Some lids have handles or knobs for easy lifting and removal, while others may have built-in features like vents or steam holes to allow excess steam to escape.
