| 20130119069 | Pot with Bail Handle and Tiltable Lid - A device for holding a lid to a pot to permit the pouring of liquid from the pot while retaining a food product within the pot, including a pair of spaced apart hook members attached to opposed top edges of the pot and positioned off-set from a centerline of the pot. The hook members each include a horizontal top flange turned inwardly toward the pot, whereby when the pot is moved to a pouring position, the liquid forces the lid to separate from the pot and the top flanges of the hook members to engage the lid to maintain a predetermined pouring gap between the lid and the pot and also to prevent the lid from sliding forward off the pot due to their off-set positioning from the pot centerline. | 05-16-2013 |
| 20130017410 | Multi-Ply Aluminum Bonded Cookware - Cookware, such as a stock pot, fry pan, sauté pan, griddle, or grill, comprising a basic three-ply bonded composite includes two layers of an aluminum alloy, such as 3003 or the like, bonded on opposed sides to a core layer of higher purity aluminum, such as 1050, 1100, 1145, or the like, to define a three-ply composite cookware product. One or more additional layers of higher purity aluminum are bonded intermediate one or more additional layers of aluminum alloy to form five-ply, or seven-ply, or more, bonded composite cookware products. The exterior layers of aluminum alloy may also include a non-stick coating and/or an anodized coating. | 01-17-2013 |
| 20110162535 | Griddle Plate Having a Vacuum Bonded Cook Surface - A composite griddle plate comprising a first sheet of metal defining a cook surface and a core plate of a metal having a relatively high coefficient of heat conductivity wherein the first sheet remains in intimate contact with an upper surface of the core plate with the aid of a vacuum. | 07-07-2011 |
| 20110123826 | Bonded Metal Components Having Uniform Thermal Conductivity Characteristics - Cookware having improved uniform heat transfer over the entire cross section thereof, the cookware formed from a multi-layered composite metal having a layer of stainless steel roll bonded at or near the core of the composite to act as a thermal barrier and provide more uniform heat distribution on the cook surface. The stainless layer is roll bonded to layers of aluminum which, in turn, is roll bonded to layers of stainless steel or aluminum or copper. The layer of stainless steel adjacent to the cooking range may be a ferromagnetic grade of stainless steel if induction-type heating is desired. The cookware may include a non-stick surface applied thereto. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110070345 | Flavor Infusion Device for Roasting Poultry - A flavor infusion device for roasting poultry, such as chicken, comprising an elongated metal member having an attachment means at one end for attachment to a sidewall of a roasting pan, a radiused bent portion extending upwardly from the attachment means, and a horizontal arm portion extending from the radiused bent portion in a substantially horizontal orientation relative to the roasting pan to support an open cavity of the poultry, said horizontal arm portion having a flavor cup associated therewith for receiving an infusion flavoring liquid therein. A method of roasting poultry comprising the steps of providing a flavor infusion device, attaching the device to a sidewall of a roasting pan, placing an infusion liquid in the cup, mounting the poultry on the horizontal arm of the device, preferably in a breast-down orientation, and roasting the poultry. | 03-24-2011 |
| 20110049163 | Copper Lined Mixing Bowl - A mixing or beating bowl comprising a drawn shape of a bonded composite containing a layer of copper defining an interior surface of the bowl and a layer of a second metal defining an exterior surface of the bowl. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110048128 | Double Conical Measuring Beaker - A combined conical measuring beaker combining two truncated conically shaped portions of differing volumes joined together, wherein each of the portions has volumetric measuring markings applied along respective sidewalls of each portion. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110041708 | Graphite encapsulated cookware - Cookware in the form of a grill plate, griddle plate, waffle iron, panini press or the like is made from a cast composite including a graphite core plate encapsulated within a cast metal shell of aluminum or stainless steel, and a method for manufacturing same. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20100108690 | Stainless Steel-Carbon Steel Enamelized Cookware - Cookware made from a composite metal sheet having a stainless steel or titanium layer defining a cooking surface bonded to a low carbon steel layer having a porcelain enamel layer applied thereto and forming an exterior of said cookware. An intermediate layer of copper or nickel may also be bonded between the layers of stainless steel or titanium and the low carbon steel layer. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20090186241 | Corrosion/Abrasion-Resistant Composite Cookware - A composite metal sheet ( | 07-23-2009 |
| 20090152276 | Griddle Plate and Cookware Having a Vacuum Bonded, High Conductivity, Low Density Carbon Foam Core Plate - A composite griddle plate or cookware comprising a first metal sheet defining a cook surface and a core plate of carbon foam having a relatively high coefficient of heat conductivity and a low density. A second metal sheet is peripherally sealed by welding or the like to the first metal sheet. The first and second sheets remain in intimate contact with the upper and lower surfaces of the core plate with the aid of a vacuum. In a further cooking appliance embodiment, a food vessel intimately engages the carbon foam plate beneath a food-contacting surface thereof while the carbon foam plate on its opposite side engages a heat sink plate by virtue of a vacuum. The vacuum eliminates air gaps between the food-contacting surface of the food vessel and the carbon foam plate and the heat sink plate so as to provide instantaneous and uniform heating of the food vessel. The vacuum environment also provides thermal insulation for the heat sink plate whereby heat loss by convection is virtually eliminated. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20080302745 | Magnetic Pot Rack - A pot rack comprising at least one track member having spaced-apart rails with at least an upper rail surface having a ferromagnetic property and at least one hook member having a lower hook portion for releasably engaging a kitchen utensil, and an upper cap portion of a dimension greater than a spacing between the rails wherein the cap portion includes a magnetic member which is magnetically attracted to the upper rail surface of each of the rails and a shaft portion interconnecting the upper cap portion and the lower hook portion. A hook member for use on a slotted ferromagnetic rail comprising a head portion, an integral shank portion and a hook portion extending from the shank portion, said head portion having magnetic means associated therewith to establish a magnetic attraction between the head portion and the rail. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20080241582 | Multi-Ply Cookware With Copper-Aluminum-Stainless Steel - Multi-ply composite cookware consisting of different metal combinations to include the beauty of copper on the exterior coupled with its excellent heat distribution/conductivity properties within the interior to provide thermally efficient, durable and cosmetically pleasing cookware. In several embodiments of the present invention, a layer of silver is also preferably employed in the interior thereof between adjacent aluminum layers to further improve thermal conductivity. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080206437 | Combined Steaming/Poaching and Sauce Preparation - A combined egg poacher and sauce-making utensil having a pan for holding the water to be heated and a perforated steamer plate positioned in the pan spaced above the surface of the water in the pan. The perforated steamer plate holds removable egg cups for poaching eggs in a conventional manner. In one embodiment, a central portion of the steamer plate has a hole formed therethrough for receiving a sauce bowl removably positioned in the hole. The sauce bowl has a lid positioned thereon. A large main lid then covers the entire array of egg cups and sauce bowl with its lid. In another preferred embodiment, the sauce bowl may be formed integrally with the main lid or, conversely, the main lid may have a central aperture formed therethrough for receiving a separate sauce bowl and lid in the top of the main lid. In these arrangements, the hollandaise sauce or other sauce may be prepared separately while using the sauce bowl and then the eggs may be poached at a different time because the sauce generally takes longer to prepare than the cooking of the eggs. | 08-28-2008 |
