A lid for the container has a flat central panel positioned above the membrane, an intermediate panel extending upwardly from the periphery of the central panel to an outer panel that slopes downwardly to the outside where it meets a peripheral flange at an inside corner resting on the upper outer corner of the container lip. A snap-on flange is provided on the inside of the peripheral flange at a distance normally providing a gap between the bottom of the lip and the top of the snap-on flange. The lid is useful for large size containers that are intended to be stacked.
