What is the difference between separator disks and lids?
Both Nesting Pan Lids and Separator Disks are designed for use with our Nesting Pans. Their function is to keep dough that is proofing in one nesting pan from coming into contact with dough that is proofing in another nesting pan when stacked. Disks are less than half the price of Lids, and should be purchased 1″ – 2″ larger than their corresponding Nesting Pans. The choice for Disks that are 1″ larger than their corresponding Nesting Pans is likely an available space issue, since Disks that are 2″ larger than their corresponding Nesting Pans offer more stability for the possibility of shifting when stacked with proofing dough. Separator Lids, while significantly more expensive than Disks, offer far more stability when stacked. More durable than Disks, the Separator Lids feature a pie rim that prevents warping and bending. Separator Lids should be purchased in the same diameter as their corresponding Nesting Pans.
