A cooking pot support assembly includes a support rack that has a grapple portion and a support portion. The grapple portion is positionable to engage a front edge of a sink having the support portion angling downwardly into the sink. The support portion has a cooking pot positioned thereon to support the cooking pot at an angle. In this way the support portion assists with pouring liquid from the cooking pot into the sink. A support is rotatably coupled to the support rack. The support is positionable in a deployed position to extend into the sink. The support includes a stop portion extending upwardly from the support rack to inhibit the cooking pot from sliding along the support rack into the sink.

A system and method utilizing a robotic arm to prepare a food product such as a meat for cooking and then subsequently assembling a sandwich from the cooked meat is disclosed. In addition, the robotic arm may also be used to wrap the assembled sandwich in a wrapper. The system may utilize a wire basket with a basket adapter, or handle, to allow the robotic arm to easily maneuver the basket and also utilize a wrapping assist device to wrap a wrapper around the assembled sandwich.

The handle includes first and second spaced sets of prongs. Each of the prong sets has a first prong and a second prong spaced from the first prong a distance sufficient to receive the cookware rim therebetween. The prongs in each of the prong sets diverge as the prongs progress away from the cookware body. A locking mechanism is situated between the prong sets for engaging the cookware rim to removably secure the handle to the cookware. The locking mechanism includes a spring-loaded pin adapted to be received in an opening in the cookware rim. The pin is situated on the unattached end of a leaf spring prong extending from the body of the handle. The pin has an inclined surface which facilitates the insertion of the pin into the opening in the cookware rim to lock the handle to the cookware. The handle is formed of a single piece of material and may be sold in combination with the cookware or separately.
