Cleaning Tutorials: The Flat-Lying Lid

Glass lids provide transparency during the cooking process. However, their transparency also means that any residue left behind after a meal is visible. Stackware’s lids, being glass, were engineered for easy assembly/disassembly.

This makes it possible to get in and clean between the steel knob and glass.

To clean the lid:

• Using a cross head (Phillips) screwdriver you can take the screw out and the knob will detach from the glass. There is a screw and steel washer on the bottom, and the knob is a single piece – so you don’t need to worry about a million parts separating when the screw comes out.
• Once detached, you can clean using a solution of baking soda and water (1 tbsp baking soda with ~1 c water) or BarKeeper’s Friend.
• Once cleaned, you can dry the glass and steel knob and reattach the washer and screw with the knob. Use the same screwdriver to secure everything in place.
