Claim 0:
1. A vessel for cooking food comprising:
a body, in turn comprising a bottom wall and at least one side wall, wherein said side wall extends from said bottom wall to define an inner space of the cooking vessel where food is arranged in order for it to be cooked; and
at least one handle, made from a steel and bound to and a portion of said body through the interposition of a connection element fixed to the handle and made from a second metal material,
wherein the coefficient of thermal conductivity of the second metal material, which said connection element is made from, is greater than the coefficient of thermal conductivity of the steel, which said handle is made from,
wherein said connection element is operationally connected to at least one thermal signaling device,
wherein said connection element abuts the at least one side wall of the body,
wherein the connection element has sidewalls, and opposed first and second end walls made of the second metal material, the connection element sidewalls attached to the connection element first end wall, the connection element sidewalls integral with the connection element second end wall,
wherein the connection element second metal material defines a vertical first cavity consisting of a vertical first cavity top opening at a top surface of the connection element sidewalls, vertical first cavity closed side walls, and a vertical first cavity bottom wall defining a closed end within the connection element,
wherein the vertical first cavity extends from the vertical first cavity top opening to the vertical first cavity bottom wall defining a closed end;
wherein the at least one thermal signaling device abuts said connection element by having the at least one thermal signaling device at least partially inserted in the connection element vertical first cavity through said connection element top surface to expose an upper surface of said thermal signaling device and have the at least one thermal signaling device extend downwardly to the vertical first cavity bottom wall defining the closed end of the connection element to have sidewalls of the connection element surrounded by and abutting the connection element second metal material,
wherein the at least one thermal signaling device is adapted and configured to operate based on the thermal conductivity of the connection element, and
wherein at least one insulating gasket is interposed between said connection element and said handle to prevent contact of said connection element and said handle,
wherein inner surfaces of the connection element sidewalls, first end wall and second end wall define a horizontal second cavity separate from the vertical first cavity,
wherein the connection element first end wall defines an opening and the connection element second end wall defines an opening,
wherein the connection element first end wall abuts the at least one side wall of the body and the connection element second end wall abuts the at least one insulating gasket.
