Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a handle coupled to a cooking vessel, the handle dimensioned to support a cooking vessel lid, the handle having: an upper support member having an upper arcuate body coupled to the cooking vessel at opposite ends, and a lower support member having a lower arcuate body positioned closer to a base of the cooking vessel than the upper arcuate body and coupled to the cooking vessel at opposite ends, the lower arcuate body and the upper arcuate body having substantially planar portions between which a receiving space is defined for receiving the cooking vessel lid, wherein the substantially planar portion of the upper arcuate body and the substantially planar portion of the lower arcuate body both extend from a side of the vessel at essentially the same angle relative to the side of the vessel so that when the lid is positioned within the receiving space in a supported position, the lid is supported by the handle at about the same angle relative to the side of the vessel.
