A cooking vessel cover, the cover for engaging upper rims of cooking vessels having varying diameters, the upper rims of the cooking vessels including inside and outside surfaces available for engagement with the cover, the cover comprising: an upraised central portion, the central portion including a center and an outer periphery, means, connected to the outer periphery of the central portion, for providing a variable closure for cooking vessels of varying diameters, the means for providing a variable closure including a straddle, a flange, and a skirt, the straddle including an undersurface extending generally vertically downward before extending generally radially outward before curving vertically upward in a U-shaped turn and terminating at the flange, the straddle including a vertically-oriented exterior-facing surface disposed where the undersurface of the straddle curves vertically upward between the U-shaped turn and the flange, the vertically-oriented exterior-facing surface defining an extreme innermost vessel diameter with which the cover may be used, the flange connecting the vertically-oriented exterior-facing surface of the straddle to the skirt, the flange defining an inner diameter at a junction where the flange and the exterior-facing surface of the straddle meet, the flange further defining an outer diameter at a junction where the flange and the skirt meet, the flange including an undersurface for engaging upper rims of cooking vessels having diameters between the inner and outer diameter of the flange, the skirt extending generally vertically downward, the skirt including a vertically-oriented interior-facing surface and an exterior surface, the exterior surface of the skirt defining the extreme outermost periphery of the cover, a space defined by (a) the vertically-oriented exterior-facing surface of the straddle, (b) the undersurface of the flange, and (c) the vertically-oriented interior facing surface of the skirt being open and unobstructed so that any diameter vessel having an interior diameter no smaller than the diameter formed by the vertically-oriented exterior-facing surface of the straddle, or having an exterior less than the diameter formed by the vertically-oriented interior-facing surface of the skirt can be operatively engaged, the exterior-facing surface of the undersurface of the straddle providing a smooth surface for engaging inside surfaces of upper rims of cooking vessels, the interior-facing surface of the skirt providing a smooth surface for engaging outside surfaces of upper rims of the cooking vessels, the upraised central portion, the straddle, the flange and the skirt being fabricated from a unitary piece of metal.
