Lid for cooking utensils.

摘要

A lid (1) for cooking utensils such as a frying pan, pot, or the like (6) is provided in which the lid has a dished configuration, generally smoothly dished towards a central region (3) such that the lid may be accommodated on a wide variety of different pots and pans. The lid has perforations (11,19) in the operatively lowermost region thereof to allow liquids thereon to drain into a pot or pan in use. Associated with each perforation is a shield member (15) located thereover so that direct passage of liquids or solids through the perforations is substantially prevented whilst passage of gasses is free. There may be only one shield member for all the perforations and a centrally located handle (17) is generally provided.
