The invention relates to an attachment (1) for handling a cooking utensil, comprising a rigid supporting element (4) which can be fastened directly or indirectly to the cooking utensil, and at least one elastically deformable shaping area (6). In order to ensure that the cooking utensil is fastened securely whilst adapting to the hand of the respective user, the shaping area (6) is formed by a plurality of lamellas (7) which are arranged at a distance to each other.

A cooking utensil which comprises walling defining an upwardly open compartment having two side walls which are elongate in the vertical direction and in one horizontal direction. The distance between the side walls is less than the dimensions in the vertical and horizontal directions thereby to provide a food receiving compartment which is relatively long and relatively high but is also relatively narrow. To provide a number of parallel side-by-side compartments the utensil (64) comprises a bounding wall including two spaced apart sidewall sections (66). One or more partitions (70) extend parallel to the sidewall sections (66) and span between side wall sections (68) thereby to define a number of such compartments.

A handle for a cookware device contains a power supply that is operative to energize one or more of a processor, transceiver and accelerometer, as well as a memory device. The processor is also connected to a one or more external leads that extend into the handle at least to the connection to a sidewall of cooking device for further connection to a sensing circuit or power harvesting circuit. The end of the handle holds at least the processor but is in removable engagement from the portion with the power supply with a resilient sealing member to form a water proof seal.

A cooking vessel includes a vessel body having a partially coated, textured stainless steel inner surface having a plurality of ribs rising above recesses having bottoms covered with a non-stick coating. The ribs have uncoated tops and sides that are separate from the bottoms of the cavities. The sides connect the tops to the bottoms. The tops rise above the non-stick coating covering the bottoms. According to the invention, the non-stick coating rises over the sides from the bottoms towards the tops without exceeding the height of the tops, and the bottoms and the sides have a rough surface under the non-stick coating. Also included is a method for producing a cooking vessel.

According to one example, a cookware apparatus includes a vessel. The vessel includes a bottom, and a sidewall surrounding the bottom and extending upward from the bottom so as to form a fluid retaining interior region. The sidewall terminates at a rim. The vessel also includes a channel extending through a portion of the bottom and further extending upward into and through a portion of the sidewall. The channel has an opening positioned in an external surface of the sidewall. The cookware apparatus further includes a thermal sensor positioned within the channel. The thermal sensor extends through the portion of the bottom and further extends upward into and through the portion of the sidewall.

The invention relates to a handle for a cooking vessel that includes at least one thermoelectric generator. The thermoelectric generator includes at least a first contact surface thermally connected to a heat sink and the heat sink is formed from a material that undergoes a phase transition when heated to temperatures varying between 50° C. and 70° C.

A cookware handle includes a plastic grip portion molded over a portion of an insert. The insert inserts into a bore of a flange. The grip portion is externally flush with the flange interface and the insert internally connects the grip portion to the flange. This allows the grip portion to be over molded on a first part of the insert so the other portion can be welded or otherwise attached to the flange after external surface finishing of the flange. The insert and flange may be welded together along a portion of the insert that contacts the flange within the bore and that is not visible when the flange is attached to a cookware vessel sidewall to provide the grip molded as a handle for the cookware vessel.

The invention relates to a handle for a cooking vessel that includes at least one thermoelectric generator thermally connected to a heat sink. The invention is characterised in that the handle has an inner cavity that extends longitudinally over at least one third of the length of the handle, and the heat sink extends longitudinally inside the cavity through at least two thirds of the length thereof.

Provided is a cooking vessel which comprises heat transfer structures for directing a flame, which is concentrated on the center of a vessel part, to be diffused to the edge of the vessel part, thus allows heat to be sufficiently diffused to parts other than the center while the heat is conducted from the outer side to the inner side of the bottom of the vessel part, can be made lightweight, and allows a reduction in material and production costs. The cooking vessel, which comprises the vessel part in which to put and cook contents and handle parts installed on the vessel part, has the heat transfer structures installed on the outer side of the bottom of the vessel part, wherein the heat transfer structures are formed in a shape that allows the radial formation of multiple flame diffusion paths for flame diffusion to the edge of the vessel part.
