OK, we know that, that casserole that I threw was about four pounds. And because it's pretty wide, the lid needs to be probably about three pounds. Lids always need to be a little heavier than you think. Because you've got to have thickness at the top and some extra thickness in the sides, to support for the trimming and the adding of the knob, and everything else that's going to come along with that. So I've got two and half pounds there. That's a little over three pounds, which I think is going to work just fine. Remember you can always trim out more.

So we'll do that now.
