Abstract: The invention concerns a non-stick coating (4) for cooking utensils (1) characterized in that it is selected among the group comprising (a) ceramics alone selected among titanium oxynitride, titanium suboxides, titanium subnitrides, spinels, mixed spinels; and (b) ceramo-metallic mixtures wherein the ceramics are selected among titanium oxynitrides, titanium suboxides, titanium subnitrides, spinels, cerium fluoride, silicon carbide, pyrolitic carbon, boron carbide, and the metal is titanium.

Abstract: The removable device for taking hold of, lifting, handling, and pouring from cooking utensils having two diametrically opposite outwardly-directed handles in the form of lugs (2), each of which has an opening (5) that is substantially parallel to the inner edge (6) of said lug (2), is characterized by the fact that it comprises a pair of removable shells (10) suitable for fitting over said lugs (2) and made of a thermally insulating material, each shell (10) presenting an internal cavity (11), which opens out laterally through an oblong orifice (13), which is suitable for receiving a lug (2) inserted through said orifice (13), and which is fitted with an internal locking/unlocking device (20) suitable for co-operating with the opening (5) in the lug (2) when received in said cavity (11).
