Handle element for releasable fastening to a cooking vessel

A handle element for releasable attachment to a cooking vessel, comprising:

• a support body:
• a claw provided by a single-arm lever and arranged on the support body;
• a clamping face pair having a first clamping face on the support body and a second clamping face on the claw, wherein the claw is pivotable between an open position, in which the two clamping faces are spaced apart from each other, and a closed position, in which the two clamping faces are closer together;
• and, a closing lever arranged on the support body, the closing lever being connected to the claw by a rod and comprising a cam which, as a result of a displacement of the closing lever from a non-usage position into a usage position, displaces the claw from the open position into the closed position.
