Learn how to identify the right RACO knob assembly for your cookware lid, plus step-by-step replacement tips to keep your favorite pots and pans in use.
Quick answer
To replace a broken knob on your RACO cookware lid, order the RACO Knob Assembly Complete (product ID 3350005) and follow the simple steps below—it fits most standard RACO lids and installs in minutes.
Why replace the knob instead of the lid?
A broken lid knob is a common kitchen mishap, but it doesn't mean your cookware is finished. RACO stocks complete knob assembly kits that are affordable and easy to install. Replacing the knob is a fantastic alternative to buying a new lid, as the old lid won’t go to waste, saving you money.
The replacement knob is constructed from phenolic materials that result in a cool touch during stovetop use, so you can handle the lid safely even when cooking at high heat.
Step-by-step knob replacement
- Confirm the knob size: Measure the distance between the screw holes on your current lid (or the lid's center hole) to ensure compatibility with the RACO Knob Assembly Complete. Most standard RACO lids use the same fitting, but double-checking avoids a mismatch. Checkpoint: If the hole spacing doesn't match, measure twice before ordering.
- Remove the old knob: Turn the lid upside down and unscrew the nut or screw holding the old knob in place. Keep the lid steady to avoid scratching the glass or metal surface. Checkpoint: If the screw is stuck, apply a drop of cooking oil and let it sit for a few minutes—don't force it.
- Clean the mounting area: Wipe away any food residue or grease from the lid's surface and the screw hole. A clean area ensures the new knob sits flat and tight.
- Attach the new knob assembly: Place the new RACO knob on top of the lid, align the screw holes, and secure it from underneath with the provided screw or nut. Tighten firmly but avoid over-tightening, which can crack the lid. Checkpoint: The knob should be snug but not so tight that the lid flexes.
- Test the fit: Turn the lid over and gently wiggle the knob to ensure it's secure. Then place the lid on your pot or pan and lift it a few times to confirm it feels stable.
