Claim 10:
11. A wire stand for accommodating a pan, the pan having an upper lip, the wire stand comprising:
a top closed loop forming a single plane;
a continuous wire forming two resiliently bendable handles and a base, the continuous wire comprising:
two lines of symmetry, including:
a first line of symmetry equidistant to said resiliently bendable handles in a resting condition thereof; and
a second line of symmetry perpendicular to said first line of symmetry and passing through each of said two resiliently bendable handles;

two parallel straight wire segments forming said base;
four upwardly sloping wire segments, each including a curved protrusion;
two cross wires spanning the length between the two parallel straight wires:
four obtuse bends, each disposed at an end of one of said two parallel straight wire segments and connecting to a first end of one of said upwardly sloping wire segments; and
four substantially right-angle bends, each disposed at a second end of one of said upwardly sloping wire segments and connecting to an end of one of the two cross wires;

wire supports fixedly connecting the top closed loop to the base formed by the continuous wire, such that the two cross wires form said resiliently bendable handles on two opposing sides of the top closed loop,
wherein, when the pan is accommodated within the wire stand, the top closed loop is adapted to support a lower surface of the upper lip of the pan, and the curved protrusions are adapted to removably and at least partially encircle the top closed loop or the lip of the pan.
