A mobile apparatus for cooking food includes a lid (34) and a main body (13) that defines a cooking compartment (32) in which a container (11) is adapted to be inserted. The container (11) is provided with a bottom wall (12) and at least one lateral wall (14). The container is also provided with at least two gripping elements laterally associated in an opposite position with respective perimeter portions of the container (11).

In an elongated, hollow stick handle for a cooking apparatus, the improvement comprising a heat shield in the form of a metal tab bent over an open end of the stick handle facing the cooking apparatus, for at least partly closing the open end of the stick handle to reduce heating of the stick handle.

The invention describes a system for fastening a handle to a kitchen container that comprises a plate-like fastening element, configured for being irremovably constrained both to a wall of the kitchen container, and to the handle. The plate-like fastening element is configured to be housed and restrained in a corresponding blind hole obtained at an end of the handle. The plate-like fastening element comprises at least one inclined hooking wing, integral with the plate and projecting below one of its surfaces. Each inclined hooking wing is configured for inserting, through elastic deformation while switching from the disassembled configuration to the assembled configuration of the fastening system, into at least one corresponding concave portion obtained on an inner surface of the blind hole towards which each inclined hooking wing projects in the assembled configuration of the fastening system.

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.

A stackable cookware article system may include a stackable handle having a grip portion including a projection and a hole configured for stacking with similarly configured handles. The hole may be adapted to receive in at least an upper inner surrounding portion a complimentary downward extending projection that extends from a substantially similar grip portion. When stacked, cookware articles, such as a series of vessels having progressively decreasing diameters, deploying the handle may stably stack in nested arrangements external portions of an inner nested vessel contacting the internal portion of an outer surrounding vessel in which it nests.

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, so that the wall and base of the item is not contacting the lower item. Either or both of the stops include a handle extending outwardly from the stop.

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.

In an elongated, hollow stick handle for a cooking apparatus, the improvement comprising a heat shield in the form of a metal tab bent over an open end of the stick handle facing the cooking apparatus, for at least partly closing the open end of the stick handle to reduce heating of the stick handle.

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.

A cooking utensil for preventing burns is provided. The cooking utensil comprises a container part and a burn prevention part. The container part includes a bottom portion, a perimeter portion, and an insertion groove. The burn prevention part includes a support portion, a cap portion, a flange portion, and at least one elastic member. The flange portion and the support portion may be made of magnetic materials that attract each other. Accordingly, when the container part is heated, the support portion and the flange portion made of the magnetic materials lose the magnetic properties thereof and move upward by means of the upper side of the elastic member, thus minimizing the effect of the heating of the container part and preventing the person cooking from being burned by the upper portion of the container part.
