Abstract
Cookware includes removable divider inserts. A first embodiment of the invention utilizes a grill pattern on the cooking surface of the pan. Once installed, the insert creates separate chambers within the pan. Further, the insert provides an aperture at the base of the pan to allow liquids such as grease to move between chambers. The cookware is also provided with specially adapted lids that are separable into halves.
