Detailed explanation-1: -When your covered pot has been simmering away, hot condensation will form on the lid. To avoid getting dripped on, angle the lid away from you when you lift it. The same goes for stirring.
Detailed explanation-2: -To remove the lid, return the pan to the stove and boil the liquid. That will cause steam which will cause the lid to be released. Next time, remove the lid immediately after turning the heat off.
Detailed explanation-3: -Always cover your pot if you’re trying to keep the heat in. That means that if you’re trying to bring something to a simmer or a boil-a pot of water for cooking pasta or blanching vegetables, a batch of soup, or a sauce-put that lid on to save time and energy.
Detailed explanation-4: -Covering the pot prevents water vapor from escaping, enabling the temperature to rise more quickly.
