Abstract
An improved metallic cooking utensil suitable for use both in stovetop cooking such as frying and in a microwave oven is disclosed. The utensil features a bowl member formed of a single piece of stainless steel having a relatively square cut-off edge, that is, without a rolled-over edge or other complex edge detail. The upper portion of the disk member forms a circumferential flange which is extended at least two points to receive handles. The handles are formed of a microwave-transparent polymer material, and are affixed to the extended portions of the flange by rivets extending through square holes formed in the flange extensions. The bowl defines a relatively broad radius between its bottom portion and the upper flange, and may have a heat conductive element plated onto or affixed to its bottom for improvement of its heat conducting characteristics.
