Abstract
A utensil holder for holding a utensil proximal a cooking container is provided. The utensil holder includes an integrally formed structure that defines a longitudinal, container engaging recess. The holder further defines a first lateral, utensil engaging recess that has a first pair of longitudinally spaced-apart engaging surfaces configured to securely engage a first utensil having a first predetermined size and a second pair of longitudinally spaced-apart engaging surfaces configured to securely engage a second utensil having a second predetermined size different from the first predetermined size of the first utensil.

A utensil holder for holding a utensil proximal a cooking container, comprising:
- an integrally formed structure that defines a longitudinal, container engaging recess, and that further defines a first lateral, utensil engaging recess that has a first pair of longitudinally spaced-apart engaging surfaces configured to securely engage a first utensil having a first predetermined size and a second pair of longitudinally spaced-apart engaging surfaces configured to securely engage a second utensil having a second predetermined size different from the first predetermined size of the first utensil.
A utensil holder for holding a utensil proximal a cooking container, comprising:
- an integrally formed structure that defines a longitudinal, container engaging recess, a first lateral, utensil engaging recess that has a first pair of longitudinally spaced-apart engaging surfaces configured to securely engage a first utensil having a first predetermined size and a second pair of longitudinally spaced-apart engaging surfaces configured to securely engage a second utensil having a second predetermined size different from the first predetermined size of the first utensil, and a second lateral, utensil engaging recess that has a first slot configured to securely engage a third utensil having a third predetermined size and a second slot configured to securely engage a fourth utensil having a fourth predetermined size different from the third predetermined size of the third utensil.
A utensil holder for holding utensils proximal a container of the type having a longitudinally extending sidewall, the utensil holder comprising:
- a first laterally extending, utensil engaging recess configured to engage a first and a second utensil having respective first and second predetermined diameters;
- a second laterally extending, utensil engaging recess configured to engage a third and a fourth utensil having respective third and fourth predetermined diameters;
- and
- a longitudinally extending slot defined by opposing surfaces and configured for engaging the sidewall of the container moveable between a first position in which the two opposing surfaces are closely positioned to form an interface and a second position in which at least one of the two opposing surfaces is deformable to form a clearance for allowing insertion of the container.
