Abstract: A cooking utensil is disclosed herein, in one example comprising: a cooking pan having a base panel with a perimeter sidewall extending thereabove around the circumference thereof so as to contain a volume of fluid in the cooking pan; a steamer pan positioned within the cooking pan above the base panel. A steamer dome attached to the steamer pan and extending vertically upwards therefrom. The steamer dome configured to extend into a food item to be cooked with a substantially non-permeable top cap so as to direct vapors from fluids heated within the cooking pan through the central void of the steamer insert plate and laterally through the side wall into the food item to be cooked.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a cooking device which may be used for the mixing and stirring of sauces, soups, gravies, and other foodstuffs while being heated on a heat source such as a stovetop, gas burner, hot plate, barbeque grill, charcoal, open flame, etc. The term “sauce” will be used herein to indicate all such foodstuffs to be cooked in order to abbreviate this disclosure. The cooking device allows a user (cook) to stir and mix the sauce while heating the sauce and optionally while a lid assembly is in place thus, more efficiently retaining heat, steam, and flavors within the cooking device during cooking and stirring.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a modular grilling frame comprising in one example a thermally conductive frame having a longitudinal dimension, a transverse dimension, and a lowermost portion forming a perimeter foot. The modular grilling frame may also provide a transverse divider extending between opposing sides of the perimeter foot. The transverse divider in one example having: a first longitudinal side and a longitudinally opposing second longitudinal side. Also provided in one example is a thermally conductive grilling surface extending between the first longitudinal side of the transverse divider and the portion of the perimeter foot facing the first longitudinal side of the transverse divider. Generally, at least one area bounded by the perimeter foot vertically unobstructed bounded by a surface defining an insert shelf for fitting of a grilling surface such as a griddle panel, grilling panel, perforated plate or mesh panel.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to the field of stovetop popcorn poppers. In one form, the popcorn popper comprises an interoperating apparatus to facilitate the mixing or stirring of the popped popcorn during a coating or flavoring operation.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a combination griddle and modular grilling frame comprising in one example a thermally conductive frame having a longitudinal dimension, a transverse dimension, and a lowermost portion forming a perimeter foot. The grilling frame may also provide a transverse divider extending between opposing sides of the perimeter foot. The transverse divider in one example having: a first longitudinal side and a longitudinally opposing second longitudinal side. Also provided is a thermally conductive grilling surface extending between the first longitudinal side of the transverse divider and the portion of the perimeter foot facing the first longitudinal side of the transverse divider. Generally, the area bounded by the second longitudinal perimeter foot and the portion of the perimeter foot facing the second longitudinal side is substantially unobstructed and comprises a surface defining an insert shelf for fitting of a grilling surface such as a perforated plate or mesh panel.

Abstract: Described herein is a cooking assembly, generally comprising two major components, these components being a cooking pan and an insert 24 having a perforated portion which would retain the desired food component within the pan, and allow the fluid component to be removed through the perforations.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to the field of kitchen implements, specifically a kitchen implement for separating the solid portion of gravy from the liquid portion and then dispersing the liquid portion of the gravy through an opening in the bottom of the implement. A handle, release lever, and valve are provided to allow distribution and portion control of the gravy while the implement is in an upright and vertical orientation.
