Abstract: An apparatus for converting a barbecue into a pizza cooking oven includes an open door frame and vertical side panels pivotally attached to the vertical side posts of the open door frame. The side panels can be pivotally adjusted on the open door frame to extend rearward of the open door frame at different pivot positions. When the side panels are extended rearward of the open door frame, the bottom edges of the side panels provide a support base for setting the apparatus onto the top rim of a bottom bowl of a barbecue and the top edges of the side panels support a cover of a barbecue in an elevated position above the bottom bowl of the barbecue. The elevation of the cover creates an expanded cooking chamber above the bottom bowl of the barbecue and the open door frame provides access to the expanded cooking chamber.

Abstract: A cooking utensil has a food container, such as a cooking basket, and a lift bracket attached the sidewall of the food container. The lift bracket includes a riser portion having a catch opening and an outwardly extending upper ledge portion having an insertion opening in vertical plane alignment with the catch opening of the riser portion. A lift handle engages the lift bracket on the food container through the insertion opening in the lift bracket. An inwardly projecting catch tip on the engagement end of the lift handle can be made to catch the catch opening in the riser portion of the lift bracket when the lift bracket engagement end of the lift handle is fully inserted in the lift bracket. When the food container is lifted by the handle, the weight of the food container will maintain the engagement of the lift handle and lift bracket.
