Abstract
A universal cooking/container lid for providing ventilation includes a semi-spherical base member having a circular outer-rim and an apex. The semi-spherical base member has a stand on an exterior surface and a handle on an interior surface thereof surrounding the apex. The semi-spherical base member has one or more venting perforations. A portion of the exterior surface between the stand and the outer rim may be tapered thereby providing a ventilation channel. A top portion of the handle is configured to fit snugly into a bottom portion of the stand, thereby allowing multiple cooking/container lids to be easily stacked. A method of providing ventilation while cooking is also provided.
Claims13
A cooking lid comprising:
- a. a semi-spherical base member, the semi-spherical base member having a circular outer-rim and an apex, thereby defining an interior and an exterior surface of the semi-spherical base member;
- b. a stand connected to the exterior surface of the semi-spherical base member, wherein the stand surrounds the apex;
- c. a handle connected to the interior surface of the semi-spherical base member wherein the handle surrounds the apex, the handle having a circular top portion;
- d. wherein the stand comprises:
- a plurality of circular protrusions disposed on a circular radius about the apex, the circular protrusions each extend perpendicularly away from the exterior surface of the semi-spherical base member, the circular protrusions each have a flat bottom portion thereby allowing the cooking lid to rest on the stand without tipping;
- e. wherein the circular top portion is sized to fit snugly inside the circular radius thereby allowing multiple cooking lids to be easily stacked.
A storage container lid for a cylindrical container comprising:
- a. a semi-spherical base member, the semi-spherical base member having a circular outer-rim and an apex, thereby defining an interior and an exterior surface of the semi-spherical base member;
- b. a stand connected to the exterior surface of the semi-spherical base member, wherein the stand surrounds the apex;
- c. a handle having a circular top portion, the handle being connected to the interior surface of the semi-spherical base member wherein the handle surrounds the apex;
- d. wherein the stand comprises:
- a plurality of protrusions disposed on a circular radius about the apex, the circular protrusions each extend perpendicularly away from the exterior surface of the semi-spherical base member, the circular protrusions each have a flat bottom portion thereby allowing the cooking lid to rest on the stand without tipping;
- e. wherein the circular top portion is sized to fit snugly inside the circular protrusion, thereby allowing multiple cooking lids to be easily stacked.
