A cooking apparatus includes a container which defines four sides, a bottom and an open top. The cooking apparatus further includes a container handle which extends from a handle side of the four sides, and a cover which attaches to one of the four sides other than the handle side. The cover is constructed and arranged to transition between (i) an open position in which the cover substantially exposes the open top defined by the container to allow food product to enter or exit through the open top of the container and (ii) a closed position in which the cover substantially encloses the open top defined by the container to prevent food product from entering or exiting through the open top of the container.
