ABSTRACT:
A lid for a cooking vessel includes a substantially planar member, a raised periphery and a beveled portion. The substantially planar member has top and bottom surfaces and at least one opening formed therein proximate an edge thereof. The beveled portion is coupled to the edge of the substantially planar member and offsets the substantially planar member from the raised periphery, which lies generally in a plane parallel to the substantially planar member. The lid further includes a vent member coupled to the substantially planar member. The vent member has at least one aperture formed therein and is rotatable to align the at least one aperture with the at least one opening in the substantially planar member for venting or straining of contents placed in the interior cooking region. When the raised periphery of the lid rests on an upper edge of the cooking vessel, the beveled portion extends into an interior cooking region of the cooking vessel, such that moisture that forms on a bottom surface of the lid as a result of heat may drip down the beveled portion into the interior cooking region.
