Solutions for leveling the surface of cookware are disclosed. In one embodiment, at least one detachable adjustable leg makes contact with the stove surface to tilt the cooking surface to make it level. The pressure on the stove surface can be increased or decreased, thereby increasing the tilt until the cooking surface is level. In another embodiment, at least one detachable adjustable leg is weighted at one end and the weighted end extends outward to make the cooking surface level. In yet another embodiment, the cookware comes with at least one adjustable leg permanently attached. In all cases, multiple adjustable legs can be used to increase the stability and accuracy. In another embodiment, adjustable legs protrude from the top or bottom surface of a grate that typically covers a flame on gas stove surface.

The present disclosure relates to an electric cooktop safety system. More particularly, the electric cooktop safety system pertains to safety cookware vessels having special fastening components that secure these safety cookware vessels to an electric cooktop, preventing a user from accidentally tipping or pulling off the safety cookware vessels from the electric cooktop. In one implementation, the fastening components may include a safety stem having keyed members and stem locking members disposed on a safety cooktop to secure the safety cookware vessel to the safety cooktop. In another implementation, the fastening components may include electro-magnetic fastening components to secure the safety cookware vessel to the safety cooktop.

Embodiments of the invention relate to a safety grate and safety cookware system. More particularly, the present invention relates to a safety cookware device having a heated cookware appliance and a keyed safety locking member, and a keyed safety burner grate having an outer frame, raised metal fingers, a grate locking component connected to the first rail member and the second rail member, the grate locking component may include a keyed slot for receiving the keyed block member when inserted into the keyed slot.

A cooking appliance includes a cooktop and a burner mounted on the cooktop. At least one coupling member is coupled to the cooktop. A grate, a griddle, or a reversible griddle is selectively coupled to the at least one coupling member and is operable between a raised position and a lowered position when the grate, the griddle, or the reversible griddle, is engaged with the coupling member.

A pan support for a gas cooker includes a support structure for a container for food to be cooked. The support structure of the pan support has a contact surface for the container and a channel for a flammable combustion gas and air mixture, which channel leads to gas outlet openings.

A cooking vessel support for a burner includes a grate and a support foot. The grate has a top surface configured to support a cooking vessel and a lower surface configured for disposal along an upper surface of a cooking appliance. The lower surface defines a cavity. The support foot is disposed within the cavity, has a first protrusion disposed within a first portion of the cavity, has a second protrusion disposed within a second portion of the cavity, and has pad disposed within a third portion of the cavity. The first protrusion is secured to the pad along a side of the pad. The first and second protrusions are configured to engage first and second internal surfaces of the grate within the first and second portions of the cavity, respectively, to restrict movement of the base support in first and second directions, respectively.

A burner assembly for a cooktop comprises a spreader comprising (i) a central portion through which an axis extends, the central portion with a bottom surface, (ii) a plurality of apertures through the spreader, the plurality of apertures disposed further away from the axis than the central portion, and (iii) a ridge projecting from the bottom surface, the ridge disposed further from the axis than the central portion but closer to the axis than the plurality of apertures.

Disclosed is an outdoor portable gas stove, which includes a stove cover, a burner, a gas pipeline, an ignition device and a flame-out protection device. The burner is arranged in the stove cover, an annular gas passage is formed in the burner, a gas outlet and combustion hole is defined on an upper end face of the burner, and the gas outlet and combustion hole is communicated with the annular gas passage. The ignition device is arranged above the gas outlet and combustion hole and is configured for igniting gas. The gas pipeline is communicated with the annular gas passage, and a control valve is arranged on the gas pipeline. The flame-out protection device is arranged above the gas outlet and combustion hole and connected with the gas pipeline. The technical proposal of the present application can realize an overall control of gas supply.

A pan support for a gas hob includes self-supporting arms, which each have a bearing surface for a cooking vessel and a plurality of gas-outlet openings for supplying a fuel-gas/air mixture for forming a flame beneath the cooking vessel.

A cooktop for an appliance includes a cooktop base surface that defines an edge. A cooktop burner is mounted on the cooktop base surface. A support base is rigidly fixed with the cooktop base surface adjacent the edge. A grate is rotatably supported to the support base and is rotatable between a raised position and a lowered position to alternately cover and uncover the cooking burner. A biasing member is coupled to the support base and exerts an upward biasing force on the grate.
