I do not understand why MSR do not sell a lid for either the Quick or Flex skillet as a lid would make both of these pans so much more versatile.
I looked around for anything that could be used to improvise a lid for the Quick skillet but found nothing – the Snowpeak Ti plate came close but it’s just too deep.
With no easier alternative, I made a lid from 0.8mm aluminium sheet, using the technique I previously described here.
Sure it’s not UL (skillet, lid and handle total 234g), but it is multi-use: one utensil which is wide enough to cook flatbread, frybread, frittata, quesadilla, pizza, pancakes and griddle scones and yet is deep enough for the usual paella, pilaf, dahl, porridge etc.
