Publication number: 20240122391Abstract: Provided is an article of cookware and a method of making the same. The cookware has at least one stainless steel layer and at least one copper layer metallurgically bonded directly to the at least one stainless steel layer via solid state bonding. The at least one stainless steel layer may be a ferritic stainless steel layer, and the at least one copper layer may be a grain stabilized copper. The at least one stainless steel layer may be made from a 400 series stainless steel, such as a 436 stainless steel alloy, a 439 stainless steel alloy, or a 444 stainless steel alloy. The at least one copper layer may be made from a high purity, oxygen free copper alloy, such as a C101 copper alloy, a C102 copper alloy, or a C107 copper alloy.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: William A.

Patent number: 10905279Abstract: A lid holder has a base portion and a pair of spaced apart arms having a proximal end connected to the base portion and a free distal end extending away from the base portion. The lid holder further has a U-shaped lug at the free distal end of each arm, the lug having a first end and a second end directed toward the base portion, and a leg connected to the second end of each U-shaped lug, the leg protruding in an outward direction away from the arms. The arms are deflectable from a first position to a second position with application of a deflecting force such that at least a portion of the arms is insertable between vertically extending posts of a lid handle. After a deflecting force is removed, the arms revert back toward the first position, thereby engaging the legs with the vertically extending posts of the lid handle.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2018Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: All-Clad Metalcrafters, L.L.C.Inventors: William A.

Publication number: 20080206437Abstract: A combined egg poacher and sauce-making utensil having a pan for holding the water to be heated and a perforated steamer plate positioned in the pan spaced above the surface of the water in the pan. The perforated steamer plate holds removable egg cups for poaching eggs in a conventional manner. In one embodiment, a central portion of the steamer plate has a hole formed therethrough for receiving a sauce bowl removably positioned in the hole. The sauce bowl has a lid positioned thereon. A large main lid then covers the entire array of egg cups and sauce bowl with its lid. In another preferred embodiment, the sauce bowl may be formed integrally with the main lid or, conversely, the main lid may have a central aperture formed therethrough for receiving a separate sauce bowl and lid in the top of the main lid.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2008Publication date: August 28, 2008Applicant: ALL-CLAD METALCRAFTERS LLCInventor: Bruce W.
