According to one embodiment of the present invention, a continuous length of wire is shaped to include a pair of interlocking hooks, one each located at the end of a holding prong, and disposed outward. The prong extension traverses the inner side of a pan lid, and is of such a length as to allow the interlocking hooks at one end to protrude under any pan lid lip. The prong extension terminates at the bottom in a retaining hook and a catch notch. The catch notches are connected via a horizontal extension.
