ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for grasping and lifting a lid having a handle is disclosed. The apparatus is particularly directed to use with Dutch ovens and includes two elongated rods conjoined together, one rod being adjustably coupled with the other rod, and each rod having a handle for grasping formed at one end. One rod has a hook formed at the end thereof opposite the handle, and the other rod has three leg members attached to the end thereof opposite the handle. As the user grasps the handles of the two rods in his hand and brings the handles together, the hook engaged to the handle of the lid raises the lid slightly until the lid contacts the three leg members. The lid is thereby securely held between the hook and the leg members and is prevented from wobbling. The invention facilitates the lifting of a lid from a Dutch oven, the lid typically being loaded with the hot coals, and stabilizes the lid so that coals and ashes therefrom do not fall into the Dutch oven containing food.
