Cookware with built-in drains allows liquid to drain out without tipping the pan. The drain is structured so as not to leak or interfere with the cookware's thermal properties. Each pan provides a close fitting strainer which fits snugly within the pan. The strainer provides a plurality of apertures in its bottom surface which may be opened and closed by the user. One or more clamps may be used to lift the strainer and food out of the pan, and drain excess fluid into the pan by opening the apertures.

An outdoor cooking device preferably constructed from sheet metal or other non-combustible material comprising a wok support tube and a circular disk to act as a heat shield attached to the support tube. The support tube contains vent holes or relief cuts above the heat shield. The outer diameter of the disk fits just inside the inner diameter of an outdoor cooker. The support tube allows a wok or similar cook pan to sit proud of the outer cooker walls. This arrangement channels hot air and fire from a heat source, typically charcoal contained within the device tube, to the surface of a wok to provide true high heat wok cooking.

A cooking device having a liquid containing well in a center surrounded by a connected flange positioned or formed at an angle to the well draining liquid into the well, has a controllable flame directed to said well. A collapsible stand has a frame that holds the cooking device and the source of the flame, and has articulated legs selectively collapsible alongside the frame.

A smart fried egg cooker which can automatically cook a fried egg with different effects by choosing different cooking options is disclosed. The smart fried egg cooker includes a lid housing, a lid, key buttons, a control unit, a base housing, a tray, a heating component, a temperature sensor and a power unit. A method for cooking an egg using the egg cooker is also disclosed.

An anti-spill aid for use in cooking and serving vessels may be integrated into the vessel or removable and attachable. The anti-spill aid is an improved cooking tool to prevent messy cooking mishaps. Embodiments can include a removable conformed heat-resistant tool or a non-removable extension of a cookware to enable the upper portion of the cookware to have a curved area that is overarching to assist in meal preparations and prevent food from going over the edge.

A cooking utensil 1 of the present disclosure includes a base material 2′ having a cooking region 2a on one main surface side, and a coating film layer 4 applied to one main surface side of the base material 2′, and the coating film layer 4 includes has a thermal conductivity exceeding 85 W/m.Math.K, and includes a primer layer 41 disposed on the base material 2′ side, a top coat layer 43 disposed on the outermost surface, and at least one intermediate layer 42 disposed between the primer layer 41 and the top coat layer 43. Each of the primer layer 41, the intermediate layer 42 and the top coat layer 43 includes ceramic particles 5.

The profile shape of the vessel body and of handle portion is formed from a single sheet of metal to create a flat by cutting, stamping or blanking. An opening is created in the handle portion to reduce heat propagation. The shape of the pan body is formed by spinning with the flat handle portion. The handle is formed by creating three-dimensional contours in the handle portion of the blank. The neck portion has a flat section adjacent the pan body followed by sections of different curvature. One section of the neck portion has a deeply curved cross-section. That neck portion transitions to the hand grip portion which has a reduced curvature, particularly toward the unattached end of the handle. The neck portion may have a “W” cross sectional shape. The handle grip portion may have a “U” shaped cross-section for comfort.

cooking apparatus comprising a pan portion having a food receiving surface and an oppositely facing outer surface and a grate portion having a food receiving surface and an oppositely facing outer surface. The pan portion and the grate portion together have a closed configuration and an open configuration. In the closed configuration, the pan portion and the grate portion together define a food-receiving interior volume. In the open configuration, there is an access opening to permit access to the food-receiving interior volume to thereby permit the deposit of food onto and removal of food from the food-receiving interior volume. In use, the cooking apparatus has a food frying orientation whereat the pan portion is below the grate portion to thereby permit frying of food, and a food grilling orientation whereat the grate portion is below the pan portion to thereby permit grilling of food.
