Abstract: A cooking pot apparatus includes a pot and a food holder or perforated liner. The food holder can be a turkey frying device, for example. A drip rack can be used to support the food holder or liner above the pot. During use, the liner can be placed upon the pot upper annular rim. The drip rack then provides a pair of angularly disposed sections that can support the liner. Bends on the rack prevent the rack from sliding laterally off the pot.

Abstract: A cooking apparatus enables a user to cook (boiling, steaming or frying). The apparatus includes a burner having a base that is specially shaped to cradle a pot. An upper ring extends above the support surface of the burner for engaging the sidewall of the pot should the pot be tipped inadvertently. A table removably attaches to the burner frame, preferably at the upper ring. The burner can include an upper ring member that is supported above the bottom of the pot and a lower ring member that engages an underlying supporting ground surface. Alternatively, the burner frame has a plurality of circumferentially spaced radially extending legs. Struts are shaped and cradle the bottom of the pot and its sidewall respectively.

Abstract: A cooking apparatus enables a user to cook either by steaming or by boiling. The apparatus includes a burner having a base that is specially shaped to cradle a pot. An upper ring extends above the support surface of the burner for engaging the sidewall of the pot should the pot be tipped inadvertently. A removable basket fits the pot interior, the basket having a base that registers against the bottom of the pot and a vertically extending portion that includes hooks for receiving a bail that can then removably attach to the basket at the periphery of the pot. The burner includes an upper ring member that is supported above the bottom of the pot and a lower ring member that engages an underlying supporting ground surface. Struts extend between the rings are shaped and cradle the bottom of the pot and its sidewall respectively.

Abstract: A convertible burner apparatus includes a primary burner frame having upper and lower parallel rings connected by struts. A burner element is contained within the primary frame that can be connected to a source of fuel gas such as a canister of propane/butane. A plurality of radially spaced grate members are positioned adjacent the upper ring for supporting a pot thereupon during use. A plurality of legs are removably connectable to the primary burner frame for supporting the primary burner frame in an elevated position. Connections are provided for removably affixing each leg to the primary burner frame at positions adjacent the upper ring and at the middle portion of the leg and a plurality of spokes discourages lateral movement of the legs at a position below the lower ring.
