ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a cooking instrument that has a lid which may be secured to a vessel. The present invention is also directed to a method for securing a lid to a vessel. The cooking instrument includes a vessel, a lid, a first flange, and a second flange. The vessel has a base and a wall. The wall extends upward from the base to define a first opening, and the wall has an outer surface which is substantially cylindrical. The lid is adapted to cover the first opening of the vessel. The lid has a top and a rim. The rim extends downward from the top to define a second opening, and the rim has an inner surface which is substantially cylindrical. The first flange and the second flange enable the lid to be secured to the vessel. The first flange is attached to the outer surface of the vessel, and the second flange is attached to the inner surface of the lid. The base of the vessel may be placed a predetermined depth inside the second opening of the lid. After the base is adequately placed inside the second opening of the lid, the vessel may be rotated in a predetermined direction with respect to the lid approximately until the first flange is adequately engaged by the second flange in order to secure the lid to the vessel.
