An optional cache (1904) of coagulant material can be disposed within an interior of the vessel as well.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention concern a removable cover for placement over food to be cooked in a microwave oven. The cover includes punchable perforations around the perimeter of the cover. The perforations are to be optionally punched out by the user to provide one or more holes for egress of moisture during cooking. The cover is configured as a dome, pyramid, cone or similar shape.

Abstract: A cover assembly for a cooking vessel including a seal member, a lid, and a food support assembly. The seal member has a clip portion with a lid receiving channel and an overflow channel. The lid has a top end and a sidewall defining an internal lid space. A lower end of the sidewall is receivable in the lid receiving channel of the seal member. The food support assembly is connected to the sidewall and is operable between a raised position wherein a food item may be supported within the internal lid space and a lowered position wherein the food item may be supported below the seal member in the cooking vessel.

Abstract: A lid for a cooking vessel, in particular, of a cooking pot includes a plurality of shaped elements projecting downwards at the underside of the lid. The shaped elements are flat or curved concavely and respectively form a planar lower surface that accumulates condensate, is enclosed in a U-shaped manner, slopes towards the edge of the lid, and leads to a drip off edge at its lowest location.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cooking lid (1) for preventing liquids from boiling over, having at least one passage opening (4) to which a movable closure part (3) of a closure element (2) is assigned. In order to make available a cooking lid (1) that guarantees not only a controlled cooking process but also sufficient escape of steam, and also offers a possibility of adding ingredients or liquids during the cooking process, the invention provides that the closure part (3) is disposed so as to rotate.

Abstract: An electric appliance for pressure cooking food includes a casing (1) and a lid (4) forming the outer jacket of the appliance, an outer vessel (2) forming the inner chamber of the appliance, a heating element (25) placed in the bottom of the outer vessel (2), a removable inner vessel (3) forming the container (30) for cooking food, wherein the inner vessel (3) includes at least one handhold (31) extending past the periphery of the casing (1).

Abstract: The present invention concerns an improved perforated lid (10) for containers for cooking foods, comprising holes (15) for the passage of vapor and gas going upwards and of condensed vapor going downwards and means for cooling and condensing vapor passing through said holes, and means for supporting said means for cooling vapor, wherein said means for cooling vapor are made of a sequence, starting from the container for cooking foods and going upwards, comprised of a perforated lower plate (11), at least one perforated intermediate plate (12) and an upper plate (13) that is not perforated, and said means for supporting said means for cooling vapor are made of a lower spacing element (16), positioned between said lower plate (11) and said intermediate plate (12) and of an upper spacing element (18), positioned between said intermediate plate (12) and said upper plate (13). The invention further concerns a fryer (20) for use with said perforated lid (10).

Abstract: A portable cooking system comprising a base tray, a grill plate, a lid, and a reflector is provided. The base tray comprises a heating through hole and a basin provided at a bottom of the base tray. The grill plate comprises a central opening, a substantially annular surface, and a plurality of drain holes in the annular surface. The reflector of an upturned bowl shape comprises a reflecting bump, radial furrows, and radial ridges alternatively disposed between the radial furrows, and the reflector is attached to a ceiling of the lid. Some of the radial furrows and the radial ridges are disposed on an inner surface of the upturned bowl shape, such that the heating airflow that rise upward through the heating through hole and hit a center portion of the reflector are guided outwardly to reach evenly over to the grill plate.

Abstract: A combination cone, collection rim and steamer tray placeable on a wide variety of conventional cooking pots and pans. The device permits a user to selectively prevent heat and/or moisture from escaping a cooking pot. The collection rim contains a reservoir that collects moisture and prevents it from returning to a cooking pot while the cone simultaneously retains most of the heat escaping from the pot upon which the cone and collection rim rests. The steamer tray permits a user to steam cook foods in combination with the cone which collects and returns moisture to a pot on which the cone and steamer tray rests.

Abstract: A cookware device includes a cooking vessel and a cover. The cover includes a transparent concave portion positioned centrally on the cover. The concave portion has exterior and interior surfaces curved downwardly toward the cooking vessel. The exterior surface of the cover surrounding the concave-portion is concentric with the concave portion and rises upwardly from an outer edge of the cover to integrally connect with the concave portion. When the cover is installed on a cooking apparatus condensed moisture will run along an interior surface of the cover to a base of the concave portion and drop into the cooking vessel to clear the cover and provide improved viewing of food contained in the vessel.
