A cooking appliance is provided. The cooking appliance comprises a cooker body for receiving food and a lid for covering the cooker body. The cooking appliance has a front side for facilitating cooking operations and a rear side spaced apart from the front side. The cooker body comprises at least one latch slot disposed on an inclined rear side of the cooker body. The lid comprises at least one latch bar disposed on a periphery thereof and extending outwardly therefrom. When the lid is detached from the cooker body, the latch bar is operable to be inserted into the corresponding latch slot to secure the lid at the inclined rear side of the cooker body, allowing a user to secure the lid to the latch slot without reaching a rear side of the cooker body by hand, and to retrieve the food without accidentally contacting the lid.

A kettle comprising, a body having a vent; a lid reversibly couplable to the body; and a unibody handle comprising, a distal end, a proximal end disposed on the body, an integrated lever comprising, at least one interchangeable whistle disposed on a lever proximal end, wherein the at least one interchangeable whistle reversibly attaches to the integrated lever, wherein the at least one interchangeable whistle is configured to be in at least one of a seated position and a raised position, a tab disposed on a lever distal end, wherein actuation of the tab causes the at least one interchangeable whistle to move from at least one of the seated position to the raised position and the raised position to the seated position, and a spout disposed on the proximal end, wherein the spout entirely eclipses the vent wherein the spout entirely eclipses the vent.

The present invention refers a kitchen appliance that includes a lid and a vessel. Handles associated with each of the lid and the vessel include electrical connectors (e.g., a plug, socket) so that when the lid is placed on the vessel, power is provided to the lid via the electrical connectors associated with the lid and vessel, respectively.

A vessel for cooking food is described, including a body which in turn includes a bottom wall and at least one side wall. The side wall extends from the bottom wall to define an inner space of the vessel where food is placed to be cooked. The vessel for cooking food also includes at least one handle, made from a first metal material, preferably steel, and bound to a portion of the body through interposition of at least one connection element made from a second metal material, preferably aluminum. The coefficient of thermal conductivity of the second metal material is greater than the coefficient of thermal conductivity of the first metal material. The connection element is operationally connected to at least one thermal signaling device.

A cooking apparatus has a cooking chamber and a heating chamber adjacent the cooking chamber used for heating air laden with steam. Air and steam is circulated between the cooking chamber and the heating chamber, through a vent arrangement. A food support is provided for mounting in the cooking chamber, having at least perforated basket and a lid plate for mounting over the basket. This enables two different cooking characteristics, at different height in the cooking chamber.

According to one example, a cookware apparatus includes a vessel. The vessel includes a bottom, and a sidewall surrounding the bottom and extending upward from the bottom so as to form a fluid retaining interior region. The sidewall terminates at a rim. The vessel also includes a channel extending through a portion of the bottom and further extending upward into and through a portion of the sidewall. The channel has an opening positioned in an external surface of the sidewall. The cookware apparatus further includes a thermal sensor positioned within the channel. The thermal sensor extends through the portion of the bottom and further extends upward into and through the portion of the sidewall.

Systems and methods are disclosed for stackable cookware and lids. An example stackable cookware system may include a first vessel having a first upper diameter, the first vessel comprising a first handle with a first length, a first lid having the first upper diameter, the first lid comprising a second handle with a second length and a first inner rim positioned inside the first vessel, and a second vessel having the first upper diameter, a third handle, and a first gripping portion, wherein the first gripping portion has a lower surface aligned with a lower portion of the third handle, wherein the first vessel, the first lid, and the second vessel are stackable in a stack with an interchangeable arrangement.

A system for managing grease from foodstuff during preparation in a frying pan is disclosed. The system includes a frying pan, a frying pan supporting structure, and an optional but preferred shield. The frying pan includes an underside having an extension integrally formed therewith. The frying pan supporting structure includes a bottom side for placement on a heating element and a top side upon which the frying pan rests. The frying pan extension nests within the top side of the supporting structure. The bottom side and the top side of the supporting structure are angled with respect to each other. The liquid, typically in the form of oil or grease in flowing form, substantially collects under the optional shield which prevents the splattering and splashing of oil and hot grease not only on the user but on nearby surfaces such as the stovetop, the adjacent wall, and the floor.
