I was told via Wayfair "chat"  that this item would have see through lid but it does not. This was one of the main reasons for my purchase of the size 20 quart and see through lid. If I had been given the correct information (that this size does not have the see thought lid) I would have adjusted the quart size to 18 quart so I would have been assured I got the see through lid .  I am extremely disappointed.  thank you.
