Abstract: The handle includes first and second spaced sets of prongs. Each of the prong sets has a first prong and a second prong spaced from the first prong a distance sufficient to receive the cookware rim therebetween. The prongs in each of the prong sets diverge as the prongs progress away from the cookware body. A locking mechanism is situated between the prong sets for engaging the cookware rim to removably secure the handle to the cookware. The locking mechanism includes a spring-loaded pin adapted to be received in an opening in the cookware rim. The pin is situated on the unattached end of a leaf spring prong extending from the body of the handle. The pin has an inclined surface which facilitates the insertion of the pin into the opening in the cookware rim to lock the handle to the cookware. The handle is formed of a single piece of material and may be sold in combination with the cookware or separately.
