Abstract
A storage and cooking vessel has a bowl and a lid. The bowl has an interior, and upper and lower ribs that protrude from an outer surface of the bowl adjacent to a top edge of the bowl. The upper rib is spaced apart from the lower rib by a fixed distance with a groove between the ribs. The lid is elastomer and has a downward extending flange having an inner surface and an outer surface. The flange has upper and lower ribs projecting outward from the inner surface with a groove between the ribs. The lid is connectable with the bowl in a first configuration where the lid upper rib is disposed within the groove between the bowl upper and lower ribs, and a second configuration where the lid upper rib is disposed above the bowl upper rib.

A storage and cooking vessel comprising:
- a bowl having an interior adapted and configured for containing a volume of foodstuffs, the bowl having an upper rib and lower rib, each of the ribs protruding from an outer surface of the bowl adjacent to a top edge of the bowl, the upper rib being spaced apart from the lower rib with a groove between the ribs;
- and
- a lid comprised of an elastomeric material, said lid having a downward extending flange, the flange having an inner surface and an outer surface, the flange having an upper rib and a lower rib projecting away from the inner surface with a groove between the ribs, the lid being connectable with the bowl in a first configuration and a second configuration, wherein in the first configuration, the lower rib of the lid is disposed below the lower rib of the bowl and the upper rib of the lid is disposed in the groove between the upper and the lower ribs of the bowl;
- and wherein the second configuration, the upper rib of the lid is disposed above the upper rib of the bowl and the lower rib of the lid is disposed in the groove between the upper and the lower ribs of the bowl.
A storage and cooking vessel comprising:
- a bowl adapted and configured for containing a volume of foodstuffs, the bowl having a pair of circumferential ribs, each of the ribs projecting from an inner surface of the bowl adjacent to a top edge of the bowl defining an opening of the bowl, the ribs being parallel to each other and spaced apart with a groove between the ribs;
- and
- a lid comprised of an elastomeric material, the lid having a downward extending flange, the flange having a pair of circumferential ribs raised on the outer surface of the flange, the ribs being parallel to each other and spaced apart with a groove between the ribs, the lid being connectable with the bowl in a first configuration and a second configuration;
- wherein in the first configuration, the lower rib of the lid is disposed below the lower rib of the bowl and the upper rib of the lid is disposed in the groove between the upper and the lower ribs of the bowl;
- and wherein the second configuration, the upper rib of the lid is disposed above the upper rib of the bowl and the lower rib of the lid is disposed in the groove between the upper and the lower ribs of the bowl.
