A first hole is defined centrally through the handle. The cover is removably mounted to the body and seals the opening.
Preferably, the body has a stepped portion defined in the inner periphery thereof. The stepped portion is located close to the opening. The cover is rested on the stepped portion. Preferably, the cover includes at least one second hole defined therethrough.
Preferably, each of the lugs has a groove defined in the underside thereof.
Preferably, each of the body and the cover is a circular part.
Preferably, each of the body and the cover is a rectangular part.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a cookware that allows steam to be escaped from the first hole defined through the cover. The pressure in the cookware can be properly managed.
