The lid is made really very thin material (which itself weighed 68 grams are likely to be due for the most part the rather large plastic handle) with a slightly sharp edges. Actually belongs in the 1-Euro-box in discount stores, but I have yet bought it, because the range of 12cm lids is very limited and the few others were more expensive here. Have a few months ago very good glass lid (Beka Evolution) bought in different sizes here on Amazon, the 12cm it's unfortunately not. But he works so far and also shows no rust, etc. .... So basically ok.
