According to one example, a removable lid for a container of a vessel includes a valve configured to selectively allow air to vent out of a fluid retaining interior region of the container when the lid is positioned on the container. The valve includes an opening that extends entirely through a thickness of a portion of the lid, and a valve plug. The valve plug includes a valve top portion that extends vertically above a top surface of the portion of the lid, a valve bottom portion, and a valve central portion. The valve top portion is configured to be contracted, by a downward pressure, into a more vertically compact shape. The valve top portion is further configured to, absent the downward pressure, expand back upwards out of the more vertically compact shape.
According to one example, a cookware apparatus includes a vessel. The vessel includes a bottom, and a sidewall surrounding the bottom and extending upward from the bottom so as to form a fluid retaining interior region. The sidewall terminates at a rim. The vessel also includes a channel extending through a portion of the bottom and further extending upward into and through a portion of the sidewall. The channel has an opening positioned in an external surface of the sidewall. The cookware apparatus further includes a thermal sensor positioned within the channel. The thermal sensor extends through the portion of the bottom and further extends upward into and through the portion of the sidewall.
A pot or pan lid is configured for stacking with identical or differently sized lids that have an identical handle or knob with a dimple on the upper surface. The side of the lid opposite the handle has a complimentary protrusion configured to stably engage the dimple. The edge of the knob may extend laterally to correspond with the lid curvature to also support a similar lid on the knob perimeter that is distal from the dimple. The engaged central dimple and more distal perimeter of the knob provide for stable stacking of a plurality of lids in a level arrangement that avoids one or more lids tipping over.
According to one example, a system includes a hollow container and a ladle. The hollow container has a first opening at a proximal end, a second opening at an opposing distal end, and a sidewall that extends from the proximal end to the distal end. The first opening is wider than the second opening. The ladle comprises a handle having a proximal end and a distal end, and further comprises a cup coupled to the distal end of the handle. The cup has an inner surface configured to hold a food item. The cup further has an outer surface configured to substantially seal the second opening of the hollow container from within the hollow container.

According to one example, a system comprises a plurality of cooking device systems that are each operable to be used in cooking a food item during a cooking process; a heat source system comprising a plurality of heat sources that are each operable to provide an amount of energy to be used to cook the food item; and a sensor operable to detect information associated with the cooking process. The system further comprises a processor operable to determine an identity of a first cooking device system and determine an identity of a first heat source. The processor is further operable to receive an indication of the detected information; determine whether there is an error in the cooking process based on the indication; and following a determination that there is an error in the cooking process, transmit an indication of the error in the cooking process.

Food stuffs are cooked at precise temperatures, which are optionally below 100 °C, in a vessel that is evacuated to exclude air, in which low pressure steam replaces the air. When a sufficient quantity of air is excluded and replaced with water vapor, the temperature of vapor is accurately measured inside the vessel below the lid to control the temperatures within about 1° C. Air is preferably excluded via a controlled heated process for a relatively short period of time at high temperature to generate steam, the temperature is lowered to condense water vapor upon which the lid will sealingly engage the rim of the vessel, forming a partial vacuum in the cooking vessel.

The cookware vessel (200) has an outward extending bracket (240) below the rim (230) which preferably includes a channel bracket for receiving a locking key (115) attached to the detachable handle (100). The detachable handle has a proximal end which is intended to receive the extending bracket of the vessel and position the key for locked engagement when rotated by a level. The distal portion of the handle is for gripping and optionally hanging the handle or a pan engaged in the handle.
A detachable handle for a cookware article has a hinged coupled upper and lower handle. A jaw like grip at the front of the handle engages a flange like rim or appendage of the cooking vessel when the lower handle is rotated bring it parallel to the upper handle.
A cookware set for frying includes annular trough that seats on the rim of a cookware vessel in which foodstuffs are fried in oil or fats. The vessel and trough are covered by a lid having a lower rim that descends into the annular trough, which during cooking contains water for condensing oil vapor escapes there from through either a plurality of holes or a scalloped or serrated edge at the bottom thereof where the lower rim is immersed within and rests on the bottom of the annular trough.
A food serving and warming plate system deploys a charger or outer plate, as well as a platter, that receives a warmed metal plate in a central cavity. The food supporting plate, or service platter, fits on a gasket member that surrounds the edges of the metal plate.
An article of cookware (100) includes a cooking vessel (110) with a fitted lid (120), which is supports a gasket adapted to form a vacuum seal with the rim (111) of the cooking vessel. The lid has a single knob type handle (130) that includes a seal mechanism (160) such that the simple raising of a plug member (210) within the knob will provide an opening and release the vacuum seal.
