The splatter guard includes a base that engage an upper edge of side wall of the pot or pan; an aperture defined by the base and aligns with an opening to an interior of the pot or pan; and a plurality of petals operatively engaged with the base. Each petal of the plurality of petals is pivotable relative to the base. The plurality of petals is selectively movable between a first position and a second position; and, when in the first position, the plurality of petals allows access to the interior of the pot or pan through the aperture defined by the base; and, when in the second position, the plurality of petals prevents access to the interior of the pot or pan through the aperture.

Disclosed is an eco-friendly cooking including a lid main body including a hollow body formed of heat-resistant transparent glass, openings formed on the side surface of the body, and hinge coupling units provided adjacent to the openings, inlets, each including a cover provided with one end coupled with the hinge coupling unit by a hinge to open and close the opening and including at least one air vent, and a grasping terminal formed on the upper surface of the cover, a sealing weight provided on the lower surface of the cover, a handle provided at the upper end of the lid main body and including a grasping part and a through hole formed at the grasping part, and an exhaust pipe including an exhaust pipe main body provided with a lower end inserted into the through hole and a tubular connection member combined with the exhaust pipe main body.

A splatter protector including a hollow body having oppositely-directed first and second end portions. Each of the end portions may define a respective substantially circular end opening having an annular lip along the circumference thereof for engaging with upper edges of cooking vessels for mounting the splatter protector thereon, wherein the diameter of the end opening defined by the first end portion is greater than the diameter of the end opening defined by the second end portion. A kit including the splatter protector and a lid for covering at least one of the respective end openings defined by the first and second end portions of the splatter protector.

A wok lid control apparatus (3) comprises a machine frame (100), a base (11), a drive mechanism (12) and a follow-up mechanism (13). The drive mechanism (12) comprises a linear motor (21), a connecting rod (22) and a wok lid holder (23). The follow-up mechanism (13) comprises a wok lid shaft (31), a bearing (32), and an elastic component (33). The wok lid holder (23) is provided with a through hole (231) for the wok lid shaft (31) to run through. A lower end of the wok lid shaft (31) is fixedly connected to a wok lid (20), while an upper end of the wok lid shaft protrudes through the through hole (231). An upper end of the elastic component (33) is connected to the bearing (32), and a lower end of the elastic component (33) is connected to the wok lid (20).

A cooking vessel lid and fan system; the cooking vessel lid and fan system includes a cooking vessel lid sized and configured to cover a top portion of a host cooking vessel such as a pot, a pan, a broiler, or a casserole dish. The cooking vessel lid includes an internal fan, a vent system, an internal power source, a power switch, and a handle projecting from a top-center plane of the cooking vessel lid. The internal fan and the vent system work in combination to eliminate excess heat contained within the host cooking vessel during use. The cooking vessel lid and fan system quickly draws heat from the host cooking vessel, lowering temperatures of food contents, to ensure the food contents can be quickly served and enjoyably consumed at a desired temperature.

A cooking container lid having an auxiliary lid includes a lid body, a support and a fixing member. The lid body is formed of a glass material and divided into a main lid and an auxiliary lid. The support is configured to support the main lid and forms a through-hole, and the through-hole is opened and closed by the auxiliary lid. The fixing member fixes the support to the main lid. An opening portion of the cooking container is entirely opened when the main lid is opened, and a part of the opening portion of the cooking container is opened when the auxiliary lid is opened. The cooking container lid exhibits the effect of improving cooking convenience by providing the auxiliary lid while overcoming the disadvantages of the glass material through a structural improvement of the main lid and the through-hole.

A splatter protector including a hollow body having oppositely-directed first and second end portions. Each of the end portions may define a respective substantially circular end opening having an annular lip along the circumference thereof for engaging with upper edges of cooking vessels for mounting the splatter protector thereon, wherein the diameter of the end opening defined by the first end portion is greater than the diameter of the end opening defined by the second end portion. A kit including the splatter protector and a lid for covering at least one of the respective end openings defined by the first and second end portions of the splatter protector.
