A universal cooking/container lid for providing ventilation includes a semi-spherical base member having a circular outer-rim and an apex. The semi-spherical base member has a stand on an exterior surface and a handle on an interior surface thereof surrounding the apex. The semi-spherical base member has one or more venting perforations. A portion of the exterior surface between the stand and the outer rim may be tapered thereby providing a ventilation channel. A top portion of the handle is configured to fit snugly into a bottom portion of the stand, thereby allowing multiple cooking/container lids to be easily stacked. A method of providing ventilation while cooking is also provided.

A double-walled cooking utensil having an inner body and an outer body, which are arranged at a distance inside one another, as well as a flat base region and a wall region. A bottom plate is arranged in the base region between the two bodies. The two bodies are connected to one another in a vacuum-tight manner and a vacuum exists between them. In a preferred embodiment, the base region of the outer body has a recess, into which an additional bottom plate is inserted in a vacuum-tight manner. The production takes place in a vacuum chamber or a vacuum is subsequently generated.

The variable length baking equipment divider is an invention geared towards maximizing existing baking equipment versatility. The invention is an apparatus used to divide existing cooking equipment into isolated areas to substantially reduce fluid or physical contact for preparing one or more types of food at once. Features of the apparatus are a housing component with a triangular structure; one or more arm components which attach to the housing component. The one or more arm components are configured to expand and retract from the housing component. The base of the housing component and a base of the one or more arm components are effectively in a same horizontal plane so cooking equipment may be effectively partitioned.
