Abstract:
1. A cooking vessel top to prevent boil over of liquids, said cooking vessel top comprising: a concave member having at least one passage opening for liquid, wherein at least one closure part is allocated to the passage opening or the passage openings, the closure part configured to essentially close the corresponding passage opening or the passage openings in the rest state when not in contact with the boiling or foaming liquid and configured to be moved into an opening position by the opening force that develops on contact with the boiling or foaming liquid, in which the respective passage opening or passage openings are at least partially released so as to allow the boiling liquid to enter the concave member through the opened passage opening or openings and return through the opened passage opening or openings, wherein the cooking vessel top can be positioned on cooking vessels with different diameters, wherein at least the contact surfaces of the cooking vessel top relative to the different cooking vessels are formed from an elastic material, and wherein the closure part or parts are formed at least in areas from the elastic material, are connected to the cooking vessel top, and are configured so that the closure part or parts offer slight resistance to the opening force and allow the opening force to overcome the intrinsic weight component and the deformation component of the closure part.
