ABSTRACT:
A lid for a cooking vessel such as a pot. The lid is circular and has a central region and a peripheral region. At least one aperture is disposed within the central region of the lid, thereby enabling hot air and steam to pass through the lid. A plurality of rib elements are disposed on the top of the lid, wherein the various rib elements define a pathway from the apertures in the central region to the peripheral region. The rib elements all terminate in the same plane. As such, a cooking vessel can be placed on top of the lid and the rib elements will support that cooking vessel in an even manner. As hot air and steam from a cooking vessel rise up, that hot air and steam passes through the apertures in the lid. The hot air and steam then passes through the pathways on the top surface of the lid, thereby allowing that hot air and steam to heat a second cooking vessel placed on the lid.
