Examples are disclosed herein that relate to a cooking system. One example provides a cooking system including a body supporting a cooking surface, a grease trap receptacle positioned within the body, the grease trap receptacle including an opening to an outside of the body, a grease drain located adjacent to the cooking surface, the grease drain opening into the grease trap receptacle such that the grease drain and the grease trap receptacle define a watertight passage for water to flow from the cooking surface to the opening, and a grease trap movably positioned within the opening of the grease trap receptacle.

A device for holding a lid to a pot to permit the pouring of liquid from the pot while retaining a food product within the pot, including a pair of spaced apart hook members attached to opposed top edges of the pot and positioned off-set from a centerline of the pot. The hook members each include a horizontal top flange turned inwardly toward the pot, whereby when the pot is moved to a pouring position, the liquid forces the lid to separate from the pot and the top flanges of the hook members to engage the lid to maintain a predetermined pouring gap between the lid and the pot and also to prevent the lid from sliding forward off the pot due to their off-set positioning from the pot centerline.

A cookware assembly including a cooking vessel with a vessel side wall and an elongated handle extending outwardly from the sidewall, a cover, an opening in at least one of the vessel side wall and the cover in an area above the elongated handle, and a utensil, where the handle of the utensil rests in relation to the elongated handle and the opening permits the utensil component to reside in the interior of the covered cooking vessel when the cover is on the cooking vessel. The cover can be placed on the cooking vessel in a plurality of positions, to allow the utensil to pass to the interior of the cooking vessel, to allow pouring from the cooking vessel with the cover on, and to seal the cover on the cooking vessel without the utensil. An auxiliary vessel can also be included as part of the cooking assembly.

Spouted liquid containers and associated methods are described herein. In one aspect, a spouted container can include a container body having a bottom surface and a sidewall, where the bottom surface and the sidewall define a cavity, where the sidewall further defines an aperture; a spout coupled to the sidewall via a proximal end and in fluidic communication with the cavity via the aperture; and a mesh screen coupled to the sidewall and positioned to encompass the aperture.

A vacuum cooking container and a vacuum low-temperature cooking device which, by cooking food materials at a low temperature under vacuum, allow the food materials to be cooked in a state in which an excellent mouthfeel, taste, and aroma can be enjoyed, while preserving nutrients and moisture in the food materials as much as possible. The vacuum cooking container including a tubular container body of which the top is open, and a lid for opening and closing the open top of the container body. A seal which is formed when the open top of the container body is covered with the lid and which seals an inner space of the vacuum cooking container is interposed at a contact portion between the container body and the lid. An exhaust unit communicates the inner space of the vacuum cooking container with the outside is provided in the container body.
