A device for cooking foodstuff includes a frame having an opening; and an insert removably coupled to the frame at the opening. The coupled frame and insert form a cooking plate comprising a top cooking surface for supporting foodstuff thereon and a bottom heat-receiving surface for receiving heat from a heat source. The insert comprises a first side having a generally flat surface and a second side having a corrugated surface comprising a pattern of ridges. The insert can be coupled to the frame with the first or second side facing up so that the side that is facing up forms a part of the top cooking surface. A set of cookware is also provided, which includes the frame and a plurality of such inserts, wherein the inserts differ from one another in at least one of dimension, shape, and composition.

A microwave cooking device is used for cooking food using steam inside a microwave oven. The device includes an outer body with a top portion that has a recessed portion with the ability to hold water, to aid in the microwave cooking and reheating process, protruding inwardly and towards a bottom portion of the device. The device further includes ridges on the outer body configured to be collapsible and expandable. The device has handles on the outer body configured to allow a user to pick up the device or hot dishware after microwaving. The recessed portion of the device includes (i) a rotatable knob with plurality of leaves, and (ii) plurality of holes. The device prevents splattering of food inside the microwave oven and is inexpensive, eco-friendly, easy to use and can be washed in the dishware after use.

The invention relates to a pan for depilatory wax, consisting of a container (2) and a handle (3) made of a material suitable for withstanding direct contact with flames, incandescent resistance and glass ceramic surfaces that reach high temperatures, as well as for the flow therethrough of electromagnetic waves of a microwave oven without absorbing energy. The container (2) and the handle (3) can be made of aluminum, ceramic, tempered glass or Pyrex®-type glass. The handle (3) is fixed, collapsible or foldable on the container (2) and is coated with a layer (4) of insulating and protective material, preferably silicone or Bakelite.

Provided is a method for decorating a kitchen item by means of mechanical treatment in order to produce a decoration. The mechanical treatment involves removing and/or displacing part of a thermostable decorative composition by means of pressure and moving a tool or a compressed air jet over the surface of the decorative layer.

An induction cooking system including a first shell including a first housing, a first plate coupled to the first housing, and a first induction coil within the first housing. The induction cooking system also includes a second shell coupled to the first shell, the second shell including a second housing, a second plate coupled to the second housing, and a second induction coil within the second housing. The induction cooking system further includes a first temperature sensor for sensing a first plate temperature, a second temperature sensor for sensing a second plate temperature, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive the first plate temperature, receive the second plate temperature, adjust a first current supply to the first induction coil based on the first plate temperature, and adjust a second current supply to the second induction coil based on the second plate temperature.
