Description:
BACKGROUND 
     1. Field of Invention 
     This invention relates to a cooking container, specifically to such having a three compartment, placing two smaller cooking container on top of magnets, which are in the same size similar cooking compartments. 
     2. Description of Prior Art 
     Grocery stores, supermarkets and retail stores commonly supply consumers with cooking pans or cooking containers for cooking food in. Such cooking containers are used by suppliers to provide a cooking container to cook food. Originally you had one empty, round cooking container. However cooking in one pan, consumers objective since there were of a rather permanent nature: the cooking container could only cook one food at one-time. There after inventors created several types of cooking containers to more foods in one container. U.S. Pat. No. 6,189,722 shows a cooking container having several (2) Cooking containers. Thus if the cooking container is completely filled to the top and has so many sections, it makes it hard to cook a lot of food. Also, being tall and deep and having up to five cooking compartments, it makes hard to cook several foods at one time. Although the different cooking compartments are there, the cannot be used to create a meat and needs more manipulation to cook. The cooking container heretofore known suffer from a number disadvantages. Several types of cooking containers have be proposed—for example Feb. 20, 2001 patent number: U.S. Pat. No. 6,189,722 B1, shows several brief description of a cooking container. The cooking container heretofore known suffer from a number of disadvantages:
         (a) there is no compartment big enough to cook a variety of different foods, for example a piece of meat.   (b) the cooking container are all of the same size, in length and width       © the cooking container does not have three cooking compartments, to create three different cooking areas of space.
       (d) taking food out of the cooking container is difficult

     DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION 
     A cookware container of a cookware system of  FIG. 5 ; shows an overall view of the cooking container of the invention the cooking container,  10   a  is the dividing wall that interconnect again with  10   a , by interconnecting the two dividing walls, and having the first dividing wall ( 10   a ) extend from one side of the cooking container to the other side of the cooking container, that creates three separate cooking compartments. The compartments are  10 ,  11 , and  12 , then you can place the two magnets, placing one in each similar size cooking compartments, or the magnets can be constructed with the cooking container. Also the cooking container can also be used to cook food or liquids with out the smaller cooking containers or even the magnets that you place in the cooking compartments and then you place the smaller cooking containers on top of the magnets. There is a bottom wall  10   b . A perimeter wall upwardly extending around the bottom wall which is  10   c . An upper edge defining an open top into the respective cooking container which is  10   d . The cookware container can be 9 to 12 inches in diameter and being 9 to 12 inches round. The two magnets I mentioned above is  15  and  16 . The two smaller cooking containers I mentioned above are  17  and  18 . The overall cooking container has a handle which is  19 . The two smaller cooking containers has handles which are  22  and  23 . The smaller cooking containers can have lids or covers to place on top of the cooking container which are used to cover the food while cooking. The whole theory is to cook food in one cooking container and placing other smaller cooking containers to be placed in the same cooking container. The smaller cooking containers can have magnets in each similar sizes cooking compartment, you then can place the smaller cooking compartments on top of the magnets. Like I mentioned above, the cooking container can also be used to cook food with the magnets and the cooking container. I preferred to use both methods of the cooking container, which is using the magnets and the smaller cooking containers at the same time and using the cookware container without the magnets and the smaller cooking containers. The cooking container is a unique and in theory a great idea.
