Silicone Spill Stopper Lid
£9.99
Pasta water and milk foam up fast and run down the outside of the pan. This spill stopper lid sits flat on the rim through the boil, with yellow petals in the middle where the steam finds its way out.

How to use it
On the pan through the boil
- 01
Set it on the pan
Lay the lid flat over a pan of water, milk or stock before it reaches the boil, petals facing up.
- 02
Cook as usual
Steam leaves through the gaps around the yellow petals, so the froth from pasta or milk has room to settle back instead of spilling down the side.
- 03
Lift it off by the loops
Wear an oven glove, take hold of both loop handles and tilt the lid away from you so the steam clears your hand.
Close up
What the lid is made of
Petals
Five yellow petals sit over an open centre, with gaps between them. That is where the steam escapes while the rest of the lid stays put.
Loop handles
One loop on each side of the rim. Hook a gloved finger through each and the lid lifts off level.
Raised ribs
Thin ribs trace a flower pattern across the silicone and give the soft sheet some shape as it rests on the pan.
Scalloped edge
The outer edge follows the petal outline and reaches past the rim of a 20 cm pan, so the lid overlaps all the way round.
Fit
Which pans does it suit?
The supplier sizes it for pans 20 to 25 cm across. It rests on the rim, so measure across the top of the pan.
- Saucepan 20 to 25 cm across: Fits
- Stock pot up to 25 cm across: Fits
- Large pot wider than 25 cm: Doesn't fit
On a milk pan smaller than 20 cm the lid hangs well over the edge, outside the size the supplier gives, so we leave those off the list.
Compared
Spill stopper, pan lid or nothing?
A pan lid left ajar works until you forget to check it. The silicone lid stays flat with its own vent, which suits a pan of pasta that needs ten minutes at the boil.

Questions
The supplier lists it for pans 20 to 25 cm across, which covers most saucepans and smaller stock pots. It needs to overlap the rim all the way round, so a pot wider than 25 cm is too big for it.
Yes, it sits on the pan through the boil. Keep the hob at a steady boil rather than turned right up, and lift it off with an oven glove, because steam gathers underneath.
The lid lies flat on the pan with an open centre under five loose petals. Steam leaves through the gaps between them, and the froth that climbs to the lid meets the silicone and sinks back. Keep the hob at a steady boil, because any pan can still froth over on full power.
It sits on the pan, not on the hob, so induction, ceramic and gas all work. On gas, keep the flame under the base of the pan so it never reaches the silicone that overhangs the rim.
Yes. Pick a colour and the pair arrives as two matching lids, which helps when pasta and a pan of potatoes are boiling side by side on the hob.
