Joyce Chen 31-0066, 13.5-Inch Nonstick Steel Dome Lid for 14-Inch Wok Black

I purchased this because I was looking for a cheap, lightweight lid for my 14" carbon steel wok. I was originally using a flat glass lid of the same size, but it didn't fit well on top and would sometimes slide into whatever I was cooking. I decided it was time to upgrade to an actual wok lid. Based on the price and the reviews, I decided to go with this one. I've been using this lid for a few months now and haven't encountered any real problems. I really enjoy this lid. It fits perfectly on my 14" wok, the dome lid allows enough space to have the wok overly full while cooking, and the lid is so lightweight you can store it anywhere or on top of anything with ease. One issue I've noticed is with the knob on the lid. It tends to get loose after using it each time. Is this a problem? No. It is so easy to hold the screw and tighten the knob a bit after each wash and if you take care of it gently each time, you shouldn't have to worry about it completely stripping the knob. I'm not sure if this is dishwasher safe, but it is easy to clean with a quick wipe of a damp sponge. I tend to not let it soak in the sink or scrub it with anything abrasive, but I'm not sure if that is completely necessary. I also dry it immediately after I wipe it and usually let it sit on the heat of the stove top for a few seconds to warm it up and evaporate any extra water the towel may have missed (mainly on the rolled edge.) For the price, you can't go wrong. I would recommend this to anybody looking for good quality wok lid.

This is a nice wok lid that is simple in design and works well. It is durable and easy to clean. Why spend more?

The dome covers my Joyce Chen wok. It fits and looks nice because it matches the black steel and ceramic. It can go over one of the steamer baskets, but for two in a stack, it's not fitting over the steamers (you can use a ring or just go with the steamer lid, but water boils off faster with no dome. After stir-frying, you can cover to retain heat, or put it on the wok when doing red-cooking (stewing in soy sauce with spices and seasonings) or when simmering chicken. You don't REALLY need a lid for a wok unless you do simmering or want to retain heat before scooping out the finished dish for the table. But it's very nice to have.

We bought a cast iron wok from Lodge, and this lid was recommended to go with it. It's a perfectly fine lid--fits on the 14-inch Lodge wok and does what it is supposed to do: keep grease from flying all over tarnation. I was surprised when I was looking for lids on Amazon to see that many lids had mediocre ratings. You would not think it is that hard to make a lid. Some people have mentioned in their reviews that the handle on this one has gone loose on them. I could see that this could happen in time. The little wooden handle attaches with a small screw, and I could imagine that over time the screw perhaps will get "stripped" and will not be able to be tightened (a similar thing seems to sometimes happen to knobs on cabinets, etc.). I suppose I would feel better if the handle were permanently attached. Certainly this would better complement the royally boss Lodge wok, which looks like you could drop it off a building and would be none the worse for the wear. In any case, this lid seems fine. No complaints.

This lid is a great addition to wok cooking. I bought it to replace a glass lid that broke and am able to use it for two woks of different sizes. The inside of the lid also seems to remain clean only needing a swipe of a sponge. Wish I had purchased it earlier!

This thing is awesome and i wish i had found it a long time ago. We recently bought a large 14" skillet from Costco. It did not come with a lid and our other skillets were not as large. Plus those lids do not have a dome like this one does. I have used this to cook frozen vegetables and now that I ave this lid, we use it to trap in the heat to cook the veggies faster. It is also great to keep things warm or to prevent spatter all over your cook top. Just be careful to NOT keep you flame on warm if you have tho dome on as your can over cook your food. I will update this with some photos soon and also try to remember the name of the skillet manufacturer that makes the large skillet we bought from Costco. I have seen it on Amazon but it was much cheaper at Costco. That skillet is the best skillet we have ever used. I will get the brand and update soon. thanks for reading my review.

The lid is well made and finished, but…. The knob/handle, though designed with beautiful geometry, is too small to grip without burning fingers, and is attached with a tiny screw into wood that quickly loosens. I will replace it with a larger wooden handle, same conical shape, with a permanently bonded-in fine-threaded bushing to permit a fine thread machine screw (stainless or brass) a large fender washer and high strength Loctite thread locker. Perhaps I should be manufacturing and offering my own.

good

Despite the description, this lid DOES NOT fit the 'Joyce Chen 21-9977, Classic Series Nonstick Wok, 14-Inch'. $56 dollars wasted. Thanks. Please update your description to avoid other people wasting money.

Does what a lid Should do. Also very lightweight but very premium well put together. It’s a joy to hold the wood top piece that you grab the little handle is perfect

No use

Buena tapa, buen tamaño y llego en perfecto estado

very pleased with the quality. The handles even come off so I can season it in the oven or BBQ, and use it pretty much anywhere indoors or out where I have a source of very hot heat. I have a gas stove but I still prefer the flat bottom because that’s what I’m used to. I use a bit more oil, but it’s worth it to me.
