Abstract
A lid for use with a cooking pot or pan having an upper part and a lower part fixed to each other such that the upper surface of the lower part and the lower surface of the upper part are spaced from each other except at the perimeters to define a thermal break between the upper and lower parts of the lid. The lower surface of the lower part includes a plurality of downward projections for contributing a continuous basting to food during the cooking process. A handle fixed to the upper part is thermally isolated from the pot or pan by the thermal break.
