Abstract: An article of cookware in the form of a cooking vessel exposes only a portion of a copper inner layer on the upper portion of the exterior sidewall. The layer does not change color or tarnish as it sufficiently distal from the bottom of the cooking vessel that it is not subject to direct heat and oxidation during normal use. The unique bright color of the native copper is further protected from tarnish caused by fingerprint by a protective coating that can withstand moderate heating.
Abstract: A roasting rack is separable into two halves by a joining pin, the pin can be inserted into both halves in one orientation, but locked to preclude removal in another orientation by rotating the handle at the end thereof.
