A Definitive Ranking of All My Lids
I can’t be the only one with a billion lids…right?
I don’t know how it happened. I don’t have a predilection for pot lids or Pyrex lids or tupperware lids, but somehow I have accrued dozens of them over the past four years. I suppose one day I became an Adult and then the lids magically appeared in my cupboard, destined to be shoved to the back where they’ll never be seen again. Of course, that’s not the future I want for them, but that’s the life they have.
Typically, I don’t think too much about my lids. In my head, they exist to clutter. That’s it. But a few days ago, I was FaceTiming my friend Caroline, when I made the apparently controversial statement that most pot lids are unnecessary. She asked how I kept my food warm for guests, to which I replied: “I serve immediately after cooking.” Maybe that’s just me? Anyhow, I’m of the belief that you really only need like two or three pot lids and whatever lids go with your tupperware. Sue me.
Without further ado, here are my lids in all their glory and shame. If the Home Edit ladies are reading this, no you didn’t.
