Abstract

An arrangement of cooperating cooktop devices includes a receiving device mounted to the bottom of cookware, and a support device extending above a heating element and adapted to be removably engaged with the receiving device so as to prevent displacement of the cookware from its supported position over the heating element. The support device is in the form of finger members (16, 18, 20, 22) spaced above a gas burner element (28) for engaging the receiving device. The receiving device is in the form of a bracket or plate (12) that defines channels (30, 32) through which the finger members can be slidably engaged.
