Culinary vessels with quick release detachable handles

A quick release detachable handle for a culinary vessel, the handle comprising:

• a handle portion;
• and
• a quick release mechanism for attaching and detaching the handle to/from the culinary vessel, the quick release mechanism including a gripping jaw defined by or including one or more clamping members configured to clamp a portion of the culinary vessel to thereby attach the handle to the culinary vessel;
• wherein:
• the gripping jaw is wider than a width and/or length of the handle portion;
• and/or
• one or more pads are along the one or more clamping members, the one or more pads having a pattern of ridges and grooves that correspond with a pattern of grooves and ridges along the portion of the culinary vessel, whereby engagement of the ridges and grooves of the one or more pads respectively with the corresponding grooves and ridges along the portion of the culinary vessel enable a more secure attachment of the handle to the culinary vessel;
• and/or
• the handle is configured such that carrying the culinary vessel by the handle helps maintain the quick release mechanism in a locked condition, thereby helping to inhibit an accidental release of the quick release mechanism and accidental detachment of the handle from the culinary vessel.
