Hi, can you flip the pan over and use the lid as serving plate?

Sure, but it will be pretty shallow. It would work great for cookies, sandwiches, and sliced cake or brownies. You could even bake cookies on the lid. It is the same material as the bottom and it is flat. A suggestion-- I gave these to my daughters and daughter-in-law last year. I took them to my jeweler and he engraved the top with "Homemade by persons name". They loved them.

I don't see any reason why not. I have used the lid as a serving plate for other things.

I suppose you could... but i am thinking you will always get scratches on it if you cut something on it. It's pretty sturdy.

Yes, but because of the "scoop" side, one side will be a little odd. I guess you could turn it sideways or upside down.

Yes you can place another glass pie plate inside and still carry inside the hi-dome pie pan with the lid.

I must say I have never tried to do it that way -- it is designed for the tortilla to point downwards. But if you flipped it upside down it might work ;-)

Absolutely you can. Here's the kitchen aid video demonstration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3rPY0Zob9Q

You would not want to put a lid on that - it would scratch the Teflon coating off of the rim of the pan. (Unless the lid had some sort of silicone ridge on the bottom?)

Yes. So, what I do is keep the grill plate off until the very last moment. Then decide. But, if you put the plate on and then decide to change it, I use a small flatsteel nail puller (Home Depot, they are blue) to lift the hot plate off at one of the slots on the end of the plate and then lift it off and it can be flipped over. Takes a little practice, but it's not hard. You can just lay the hot plate leaning against the grill and switch your position to turn it over. Good luck.

Yes. Set the heat just a bit lower and lift, don't slide the pan on the cook top.

A cast iron skillet of the same diameter would make a substitute lid. I've done this many times.

I dont think so. The lid itself is almost exactly 8.75, possibly a hair over so it seems like if you center it exactly, it might balance on top of the pot but if it would move much one way or the other it could fall in. That said, if the actual opening of your pan is less than 8.75, you might be able to get away with it.

You can but it is not intended for frying and probably you will get everything sticked. Regards.

Not really enough room to flip anything but definitely enough room to cook under it. You would have to flip and then push into place.

I really hadn't paid any attention to that until you asked the question. And happily, the answer is yes! There is a center circle on the bottom of the plate and the sides come up from there. You could easily serve pasta or something in a sauce on these plates. And the dinner plates are of very ample size. I hope I have been able to help you.

I would say you could, the aluminum pan is just to hold water to heat the food above. You would need to make sure your pan dimensions fit the divided tray.

It is a glazed dish, probably can but I would not personally try it!! Hope this helps!

No you can not...sorry but the lid is to shallow. Turned upside down the handle will cause it to not sit flat causing trouble too. Hope this helps

I use mine for a bacon press in my larger pan. But for my ribbed pan I found it just as easy to flip the food over and it gives me a reason to check the food. Good tip is pre heating press in pan when going to use. Helps cook food a little faster.
