A bagel cookware comprises a round bagel tray sized to hold about four bagels in a twelve-inch pot of boiling water. The bagel tray has about four vertical bagel support rods and a central socket comprising a cylindrical collar. This cylindrical collar has a pair of bosses to receive a hollow end of a lifting handle. When the handle is twisted the bosses engage a pair of L shaped retainer channels in a hollow mouth at the bottom of the handle. The handle also has a series of anti-floatation screens so the bagels cannot float while boiling. The chef can use the removable handle to place the cookware in boiling water, then pick up the cookware, tilt the cookware, and place it in an oven. Commercial embodiments could use robotics and hold dozens of bagels on an equivalent apparatus. Alternative embodiments include a stamped anti-flotation screen, a hollow central socket, and hollow, tapered bagel support rods. The hollow mouth of the handle allows a controlled tilting of the entire bagel cookware during the phases of cooking.

A removable cookware handle is disclosed for connection to a piece of cookware. The removable cookware handle can attach to an attachment member that is secured to the cookware piece. To facilitate locking and unlocking of the attachment member to the removable cookware handle, a plurality of button mechanism are present on the housing of the removable cookware handle. A first button mechanism of the plurality of button mechanisms is slidable in a longitudinal direction while the second button mechanism is depressible in a lateral direction. When unlocking the removable cookware handle from the attachment member, a user may depress the second button and manipulate the first button backward to allow the attachment member to be released from a locking cavity within the housing.

The removable gripping device for an ear-shaped holding member of a kitchen utensil includes a case with a housing in the form of a slit with a height to at least partially accommodate the latter by nesting and with functional play. The case also has a latch able to occupy at least a locked position and an unlocked position in order, depending on the case, to block or free the removable gripping device on this holding member. In combination with and independently of the locking/unlocking function, at least one retaining pad extends at least partially in the slit-shaped housing so as to define, in the latter, at least one passage section adjusted to the thickness of the holding member. The pad, in its part at least extending in the housing is made from a flexible material to retract under stress.

A device for fastening a handle to cookware or bakeware having a support piece protruding outward from the cookware or bakeware wall. The handle is detachably snapped onto the support piece, and has a frontal recess, and a spring element retained in the recess acting on a latching element of the. When the handle is snapped onto the support piece, an actuation element activates the spring element. The support piece has a fork element clamped in the recess of the handle at the surface parallel to its base and is supported on a support surface in an operating position.

A cookware article includes a container, a fixed handle, and a removable handle. The fixed handle is mounted on a side wall of the container. The fixed handle has an opening for the removable handle to insert. A fixed portion and a grip portion are formed on two sides of the opening respectively. The removable handle has a grip segment and an engaging segment. The engaging segment has a first abutting portion, a second abutting portion, and a connecting portion between the first abutting portion and the second abutting portion. When the removable handle is engaged with the fixed handle through the engagement segment, the connecting portion is inserted in the opening so that the first abutting portion is abutted against the fixed portion, the second abutting portion is abutted against the grip portion. As such, the removable handle supports the container.

A utility pan handle is provided, comprising a base body, a lower jaw, an upper jaw, a handle, a pivot pin, and a bottle. The lower jaw is pressed on an outer brim edge portion of an external container from outside. The upper jaw clips on an inner brim edge portion of the external container from inside. The handle extends vertically from the upper jaw and has an overall L-shape. The pivot pin is installed rotatably through holes disposed though the middle portion of the base body and a connecting portion of the handle and the upper jaw. The bottle engages the second end portion of the base body vertically to the base body and substantially in parallel to the handle. The upper and lower jaws open and close about the pivot pin by closing and opening the handle against the bottle, gripping the brim edge of the external container.

A malleable handle for use in conjunction with a cooking device (or integral to the cooking device) may include an outer surface adapted to conform to a user's hand(s) during use. A user may grasp the malleable handle with his/her hand(s) and the pressure from the user's grip may deform the malleable handle thereby creating an ergonomically-shaped handle customized to the user's hand(s).

A serving container and associated ring element that includes a serving dish and a ring element having a ring element lip with a shape that substantially corresponds to a shape of a serving dish lip, wherein portions of the ring element lip are formed to be positionable around at least a portion of the serving dish lip to provide frictional engagement between portions of said ring element lip and at least a portion of said serving dish lip, such that said ring element is capable of securing a foil pan within said serving dish.
