A stackable cookware article system, the system comprising: a longitudinally extending stackable handle comprising: a proximal flange adapted for fixed attachment to a cookware article; and a distal grip portion having a proximal end attached to the flange and having an aspect ratio of at least 4:1 between a longitudinal axis and a transverse axis, the grip portion comprising: a hole (225, 245) extending a depth from an upper surface toward an opposed lower surface of the grip portion and having a forward portion (226, 246), wherein the forward portion (226, 246) of the hole (225, 245) is disposed at a forward slanting angle that causes a bottom section of the forward portion (226, 246) of the hole (225, 245) to be positioned at a location that is closer to the flange along a horizontal axis than a top section of the forward portion (226, 246) of the hole (225, 245), wherein the hole (225, 245) is adapted to receive a first projection of an upper handle stackably positioned along the upper surface of the grip portion such that the forward portion (226, 246) of the hole (225, 245) engages a forward portion of the first projection received by the hole (225, 245); and a first projection extending downward from the lower surface of the grip portion and having forward portion, wherein the forward portion of the first projection is disposed at a forward slanting angle that causes a bottom section of the forward portion of the first projection to be positioned at a location that is closer to the flange along the horizontal axis than a top section of the forward portion of the first projection, wherein the first projection is adapted to be received within a hole (225, 245) of a lower handle stackably positioned at the lower surface of the grip portion such that the forward portion of the first projection engages a complementary forward portion (226, 246) of the hole (225, 245) that receives the first projection. a proximal flange adapted for fixed attachment to a cookware article; and a distal grip portion having a proximal end attached to the flange and having an aspect ratio of at least 4:1 between a longitudinal axis and a transverse axis, the grip portion comprising: a hole (225, 245) extending a depth from an upper surface toward an opposed lower surface of the grip portion and having a forward portion (226, 246), wherein the forward portion (226, 246) of the hole (225, 245) is disposed at a forward slanting angle that causes a bottom section of the forward portion (226, 246) of the hole (225, 245) to be positioned at a location that is closer to the flange along a horizontal axis than a top section of the forward portion (226, 246) of the hole (225, 245), wherein the hole (225, 245) is adapted to receive a first projection of an upper handle stackably positioned along the upper surface of the grip portion such that the forward portion (226, 246) of the hole (225, 245) engages a forward portion of the first projection received by the hole (225, 245); and a first projection extending downward from the lower surface of the grip portion and having forward portion, wherein the forward portion of the first projection is disposed at a forward slanting angle that causes a bottom section of the forward portion of the first projection to be positioned at a location that is closer to the flange along the horizontal axis than a top section of the forward portion of the first projection, wherein the first projection is adapted to be received within a hole (225, 245) of a lower handle stackably positioned at the lower surface of the grip portion such that the forward portion of the first projection engages a complementary forward portion (226, 246) of the hole (225, 245) that receives the first projection. a hole (225, 245) extending a depth from an upper surface toward an opposed lower surface of the grip portion and having a forward portion (226, 246), wherein the forward portion (226, 246) of the hole (225, 245) is disposed at a forward slanting angle that causes a bottom section of the forward portion (226, 246) of the hole (225, 245) to be positioned at a location that is closer to the flange along a horizontal axis than a top section of the forward portion (226, 246) of the hole (225, 245), wherein the hole (225, 245) is adapted to receive a first projection of an upper handle stackably positioned along the upper surface of the grip portion such that the forward portion (226, 246) of the hole (225, 245) engages a forward portion of the first projection received by the hole (225, 245); and a first projection extending downward from the lower surface of the grip portion and having forward portion, wherein the forward portion of the first projection is disposed at a forward slanting angle that causes a bottom section of the forward portion of the first projection to be positioned at a location that is closer to the flange along the horizontal axis than a top section of the forward portion of the first projection, wherein the first projection is adapted to be received within a hole (225, 245) of a lower handle stackably positioned at the lower surface of the grip portion such that the forward portion of the first projection engages a complementary forward portion (226, 246) of the hole (225, 245) that receives the first projection.
