Abstract:
A lid holding device of the present invention provides distinct benefits over conventional problems to solve the issue of stationing the covers of cooking containers, including one-hand operation, universal fit with pots and pans, ideal drainage of condensation and increased cleanliness by virtue of a vertical resting position, enhanced safety around high-temperature stoves, pots, racks and lids, optimal space utilization, removal of the need for hot plates and pads and trivets, and comfortable and ergonomic ease of use. The device may include various portions in the form of an attaching member, a protruding member, a hook member and a handle member in coupled configuration to each other to solve such conventional problems. The device may be a unitary or multi-part and can withstand high temperature in and around the kitchens. The device is sturdy and includes compact design, allowing convenient storage in typical drawers, utensil holders or hooks.
