  • Patent number: 11058252
    Abstract: Provided is a method of producing a cooking vessel, including the following steps: forming a blank from a sheet of stainless steel; drawing of the blank to form a cap comprising an interior surface and an exterior surface, the interior surface comprising a flat base area surrounded by a side wall; hot stamping of a diffuser base onto the exterior surface of the cap; engraving of a grid pattern over at least one portion of the base area of the interior surface of the cap to form a network of ribs having top surfaces that extend above the valleys and side surfaces that are distinct from the bottom surfaces of the valleys, said side surfaces of the ribs connecting the top surfaces of the ribs to the bottom surfaces of the valleys, the side surfaces of the ribs forming ramps connecting the top surfaces of the ribs to the bottom surfaces of the valley; sanding of at least the engraved base area of the interior surface of the cap, to create roughness; applying a non-stick coating on at least the sanded, engraved

  • Patent number: 10716425
    Abstract: Provided is a method for obtaining an item of cookware, including the following steps of: —producing or providing a blank from a textured sheet of stainless steel having at least one textured face, —stamping the blank in order to form a cap (2) having an inner face (3) and an outer face (4), the outer face (4) having parts in relief corresponding to the textured face of the blank, —optionally, partially covering the outer face (4) of the cap (2), —carrying out a mechanical finishing treatment of the free surface of the outer face (4) of the cap (2) in order to expose the stainless steel at the parts in relief of the free surface of the outer face (4) of the cap (2). Also provided is an item of cookware including a stamped cap (2) made of stainless steel having an inner face (3) and an outer face (4), wherein the outer face (4) of the cap (2) has a textured free surface (5).

  • Patent number: 10368691
    Abstract: A cooking vessel includes a vessel body having a partially coated, textured stainless steel inner surface having a plurality of ribs rising above recesses having bottoms covered with a non-stick coating. The ribs have uncoated tops and sides that are separate from the bottoms of the cavities. The sides connect the tops to the bottoms. The tops rise above the non-stick coating covering the bottoms. According to the invention, the non-stick coating rises over the sides from the bottoms towards the tops without exceeding the height of the tops, and the bottoms and the sides have a rough surface under the non-stick coating. Also included is a method for producing a cooking vessel.
