Start with the pan diameter, not the lid style
The most reliable way to choose a Tefal Ingenio lid is to measure the pan or pot you want to cover and match that diameter to the lid size. The supplied catalog confirms a 26cm glass lid (L98466) is suitable for the 26cm Ingenio range, and lists a 28cm glass lid (L98467) as a separate variation. That gives you two confirmed sizes to work from in this record, but it does not confirm every diameter Tefal makes.
If you are replacing a lost lid, check the base of the pan for a diameter marking or measure across the rim. Then compare that number with the lid variation name. Do not assume a lid will fit because it looks close; the catalog ties suitability to the stated size, not to a universal fit.

Glass lid vs hermetic lid: what the catalog can and cannot tell you
The search phrase glass lid vs hermetic lid suggests a common decision, but this product record only covers a glass lid. It does not include a hermetic lid specification, so any comparison beyond the confirmed glass-lid features would be guesswork. Use the confirmed points below to judge whether a glass lid suits your cooking, and treat hermetic lids as a separate product to check on its own listing.
- Glass lid (confirmed in this record): The Tefal Ingenio Glass Lid 26cm L98466 has a silicon edge and a stackable design, and it is dishwasher-safe. The catalog does not state whether it is oven-safe, so do not assume oven use from this record alone.
- Hermetic lid (not specified here): No hermetic lid details are supplied in this product record. Check the specific hermetic lid listing for its own compatibility, material and care instructions before buying.
- Multi-diameter lid 16cm 18cm 20cm (not specified here): The catalog title mentions multi-diameter sizes, but the selected record only confirms the 26cm and 28cm glass lid variations. Do not assume a single lid spans 16cm, 18cm and 20cm based on this record; verify the exact variation before purchase.
How to pick the right Tefal Ingenio replacement lid
Work through these checkpoints in order. They rely only on what the supplied catalog confirms, so stop and check the specific product page if a step cannot be answered from the information here.
- 1. Identify your Ingenio product size: Look for a diameter marking on the pan or measure the rim. The catalog's compatibility statement is size-based: a 26cm lid is for the 26cm Ingenio range.
- 2. Choose the matching lid variation: Select the variation whose name matches your measurement, such as Glasslid 26cm L98466 or Glasslid 28cm L98467. The record does not confirm other sizes, so do not substitute a different diameter.
- 3. Confirm the lid type you need: This record covers a glass lid with a silicon edge. If you need a hermetic or multi-diameter lid, check that product's own listing for compatibility rather than assuming it behaves the same way.
- 4. Check care and warranty expectations: The glass lid is dishwasher-safe according to the catalog. The record also states 'No Waranty', so factor that into your purchase decision if warranty cover matters to you.
What the supplied information does not confirm
The record does not confirm oven-safety temperatures, microwave use, or whether the glass lid is compatible with every Tefal Ingenio pan ever made. It also does not list a full size range beyond the 26cm and 28cm variations shown. If you need a lid for a 16cm, 18cm or 20cm pan, treat the multi-diameter wording in the product title as a prompt to verify the exact variation, not as proof that one lid covers all three.
For any use beyond covering a compatible Ingenio pan on the hob, check the product page or the pan's own instructions. The catalog's silence on a feature is not a statement that the feature is absent; it simply means the supplied information does not cover it.
