A set of nestable and stackable cookware, for example, a set of pots and pans, is maintained in a stable configuration by stops attached to the outer walls of the cookware. Each stacked and nested item of cookware is supported on the rim of the lower item by two stops attached to its outer wall, on opposite sides of the item. Each stop is shaped and configured to contact the rim of the lower item in the stack at a finite number of points. A first stop contacts the lower rim at two points, and a second stop contacts the rim at one or two points. The points of contact lie in the same plane, which uprightly supports the stacked cookware item on the lower cookware item, without the walls or the base of the stacked cookware item touching the lower item.

A handle for a kitchen object is provided, including a part for attachment or connection to an object made of phenol resin, an intermediate part which winds around and partially incorporates the part for attachment or connection, and an external part or skin for covering or coating the intermediate part.

The present invention is directed toward a food container that including a base, a perimeter wall and first, second and third protrusions. The protrusions are spaced apart from each other and coupled to the wall and the base. Each of the first, second and third protrusions defines a respective support surface that extends radially inward from the wall, a recess in the base and a recess in the wall. Each of the support surfaces is configured to support non-recessed portions of a base of another food container in a stacked configuration. Each of the recesses in the wall and the base are configured to receive a support surface of the other food container in a nested configuration.

A cookware item includes: a cooking container for receiving food to be cooked and/or a lid for closing the cooking container; at least one handle for handling the cookware item, a handle body of the handle being force-transmittingly connected to the cooking container and/or to the lid of the cookware item by a handle connection part of the handle; an insulating part of the cookware item being disposed between the handle connection part and/or the lid to reduce a transfer of heat to the handle body; and an output unit at least partially integrated into the handle body and for visually outputting information to a user of the cookware item, the output unit having at least one light source, the light source being controllable by a controller of the cookware item and configured to be supplied with electrical power by a power source of the cookware item.

A set of nestable and stackable cookware, for example, a set of pots and pans, is maintained in a stable configuration by stops attached to the outer walls of the cookware. Each stacked and nested item of cookware is supported on the rim of the lower item by two stops attached to its outer wall, on opposite sides of the item. Each stop is shaped and configured to contact the rim of the lower item in the stack at a finite number of points. The points of contact lie in the same plane, which uprightly supports the stacked cookware item on the lower cookware item, without the walls or the base of the stacked cookware item touching the lower item.

A stackable cookware and more specifically it relates to frying pans and saucepans. The stackable cookware with stackable handles may include a plurality of pans which may be stacked within one another. The stackable handles have an upward projection in the proximal end of the top surface of the handle and a slot depression in the bottom surface of the handle such that the upward projection in the top surface of a bottom handle fits and locks in with the slot depression in the bottom surface of a top handle. The upward projection feature also helps in stacking of the containers and to get a grip while moving these stacked containers.

A stackable cookware with a novel feature of an upward projection locking mechanism. The upward projection is close to the upward wall of the vessels and this design helps secure the lid of cookware articles during their storage and transport. The upward projection feature also helps in stacking of the containers and to get a grip while moving these stacked containers. Upward projection is designed to securely fit into the slot depression of the bottom profile of the stackable handle to lock the vessels together, thus helping in the stacking of the containers. In addition to Dutch ovens, this locking mechanism may also be extended to other types of containers, such as saucepans and frying pans.

A cookware handle includes a grip comprising a first side, a second side, a pocket between the first side and the second side, a first aperture in the first side, and a second aperture in the second side. The cookware handle also includes a shaft comprising a proximal end configured to be coupled to cookware, a distal portion positioned in the pocket, and a third aperture aligned with the first aperture and the second aperture. The cookware handle also includes a plug including a ribbed thumb grip aligned with a surface of the first side of the grip. The plug retains the grip on the shaft by filling the first aperture, the second aperture, and the third aperture.

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.

A pan assembly comprises an inner pan; an outer pan; a plurality of load cells comprising strain gauge weight sensors; a temperature probe; and an electronic display screen. The pan assembly is configured to provide both weight information for contents of the pan assembly, and temperature information for the pan. The inner pan is suspended within the outer pan by the load cells. The pan assembly is configured to display a weight or mass reading based on a weight or mass measurement by the load cells and is configured to display a temperature reading based on a temperature measurement by the temperature probe.
