LidBay Pot Lid Clip

Why we made it

Pot lids are the worst thing in the kitchen to store. They don't stack, they slide around, and they come crashing out every time you open the cabinet. The LidBay gives each lid its own spot. Screw it in place, drop the lid's rim into the channel, and it stays put until you need it.

When you're cooking, lift the lid up and out in one move. No latch to undo, no rack to dig through.

Two clips, and one for your lid

Lid rims vary a lot from brand to brand, so instead of a one-size "universal" clip that drops lids or fits loosely, LidBay comes in two shapes: Metal, made on All-Clad D3 stainless lids, and Glass, made on Ninja NeverStick glass lids. Lids with the same kind of rim fit the same clip.

Metal lid or Glass lid

The Metal lid clip hooks under a rolled rim, the kind where the edge of a stainless or aluminum lid curls under into a rounded lip (tested on All-Clad D3 and similar designs).

The Glass lid clip is curved to follow the lid and grips the steel band around the glass (tested on Ninja NeverStick and similar stepped or flange rims).

A lid clamp with no clamp to undo

Most lid holders are either a rack the lids lean in, or a clamp you have to squeeze open. The LidBay is neither. The rim drops into a channel shaped to fit it and holds while you open and close the door at a normal pace. There's no spring, latch or knob, so there's nothing to wear out and nothing to fiddle with when your hands are full.

Don't see your lid?

If your lid isn't like either one, measure it: send 2 photos with a ruler or tape measure in them, or type in a few measurements, one step at a time with a drawing. Round or square, we'll make a LidBay for it with our Easy-grip formula. Then add the clip and your measurements go with it.

How to install

1. Pick a spot: the inside of a cabinet door, a pantry wall, or the side of a shelf.
2. Hold a lid there and close the door slowly to make sure it clears the shelves.
3. Mark the two screw holes. Use screws shorter than the door is thick, so nothing pokes through the front.
4. Screw the clip in until the screw heads sit flush in the countersinks.
5. Drop the lid's rim into the channel. To use it, lift the lid up and out.
