Full Description:
Millions of cooks all over the world still (and will) prefer displacing cookware lids for ventilating their cooking and emptying the pans. During this simple operation they face challenges some of them ending with fallen lids, lost cooking or even scalds.

The Lid with Wings solves the centuries-old problem of SAFE and STABLE displacing of the cookware lid on a pan for both ventilating of the pan's content during cooking and emptying the pan.

The task is achieved by the following simple, straghtforward, and intuitively clear means:

•outside and inside lugs located on the lid's rim;
•support surfaces of all the lugs and of the lid's rim are in the same plane;
•a flange on the lid's rim has special configuration to keep lid horizontal in displaced position, it also secures the lid - sets against the pan's brim at the lid's extreme displacement

The product has the following benefits:

•Adds safety and convenience when displacing the lid on a pan;
•Absolutely habitual, intuitively clear way of ventilating/emptying the pan;
•No need to use a customized pan, safe for non-stick surfaces, as opposed to e.g. "vented lids";
•Immediate visual check of the ventilation degree (problematic with vented and many other lids);
•No buttons, no moving parts;
•Immediate eye-catcher on the shelf;
•Additional aesthetic opportunities due to the "wings";
•"Long Narrow Opening" feature, not present in conventional lids;
•Low cost of production, similar to that of conventional lids.
