Abstract
A see-through and stir-through lid is provided for cookware. The lid includes a transparent main body having an outer periphery. An access port extends through the main body with a splatter guard secured within the access port. The splatter guard has a self-regulating opening of variable size allowing passage of a working end of a cooking utensil through the opening in the splatter guard while minimizing size of the opening about a shaft of the cooking utensil. A support structure supports a cooking utensil atop the lid with the working end resting above the splatter guard so that liquid and/or food residue may drain through the opening in the splatter guard into the cookware.
