Abstract: The invention relates to a heat-protected handle suitable for a cooking vessel, including a rigid structural part fixed or attached to the cooking vessel and one or more heat protection elements which partially cover the structural part, including a cover made from an elastic material configured to be adapted to and tightly coupled on the structural part such as to cover same at least partially and in a lower region of the cover the configuration provides a portion adjacent to the structural element or vessel which acts as a barrier between the user's fingers and the vessel.

Abstract: A cooking utensil with bottom wall adapted for induction heating, is provided. The cooking utensil includes a container made from a first material that has attached to the outside of its bottom wall a heat distributing plate made from a second, different, heat conducting material, the outer surface having a series of spaced projections with the heat distributing plate being made up of a disc produced from ferromagnetic material provided with a number of perforations equivalent to the number of projections and appropriately distributed to allow the engagement of the disc, backed onto the bottom wall, by inserting the projections through the perforations, leaving the disc joined to the bottom wall by riveting the projections.
