Abstract: A portable cooking utensil having self-contained heating features for cooking food without requiring gas or electric includes a handle having a chamber for storing therein batteries, the handle projecting from a cooking body that has heating coils embedded within the body, and the coils forming an electrical circuit with the batteries that are controlled by an on/off switch mounted on the handle so that switching the switch to the on position causes food placed within the utensil to be cooked from the heat generated in the coils and conducted through the body of the utensil to the food.

Abstract: A battery powered cooking utensil includes a concave body with a bottom portion and an upwardly extending sidewall. It also has a handle attached to and projecting from the sidewall of the concave body; the handle including an internal compartment for containing therein at least one battery. A removably securable cap is provided for closing the internal compartment and sealing from the external environment any batteries placed within the internal compartment. A plurality of coils are embedded within the concave body, and these form an electrical circuit with the batteries whereby heat is generated in the coils to cook food placed within the body of the utensil.
