Lid for a dutch oven?

[Stuart69]

After Shewie's excellent stew at the weekend I remembered there was an ally dutch oven lying in the loft when I moved in here. It's brand new and says "Diamond British made" on it.

The oven's about 12 1/2 inches internal diameter, 6 1/2 high and has just over a 1/4 inch thick walls.

Unfortunately there's no lid there so does anyone know where I could get one?

Is that no' a jeely pan Stu?

It's a good bit thicker than a jeely pan Tam, it's just over 1/4" aluminium.

It's an aluminium jeely pan.
They had to make them thicker than the brass because the jam sticks and burns.

You can get a really good lid, with a glass insert and a fold down handle, that'll fit it in Ikea.
I know it fits, because I bought one to fit the aluminium jeely pan I use for dyeing

cheers,
Mary

p.s. they work fine over a campfire, just don't let them boil dry.

That's perfect Mary, thanks

it's a lot thicker than any jeely pan I've seen but I'm guessing still good for a good big pot of something by the fire

Those diamond ones weren't cheap, they were cast iirc, not spun and they had really solid handles
They (or very similar) can still be bought new. Technically they're called Maslin pans.

Folks got a bit paranoid over the subsequently disproven aluminium/Alzeheimers association, and many of the aluminium jeely pans were abandoned.

Good find

cheers,
Mary
