Description

The present invention relates to a cooking or frying vessel with the features of claim 1. background In the kitchen, food is often heated, cooked, or prepared in a cooking or frying pan. When food is prepared for serving and is to be served hot, for example, at the dining table, the problem usually arises that the cooked food must first be transferred from the cooking or frying pan into another container for presentation. While serving pans and other cooking or frying pans are available for this purpose, they are usually still very hot and cannot be placed directly on the table or any other surface. Doing so could damage the surface on which the hot pan or pan is placed, as the hot bottom of the pan or pan could damage it.To avoid this, trivets are used, for example, on which the pans, cooking or frying vessels are placed to prevent the hot bottom of the pan, cooking or frying vessel from damaging the dining table or the surface on which the pan, cooking or frying vessel is placed. State of the art As already shown, trivets are used nowadays to prevent the bottom of the hot pan, or cooking or frying vessel, from coming into contact with the surface on which the pan or cooking or frying vessel is to be placed or set down. For example, wooden trivets for serving pans are known, in which a depression is made in the wooden trivet into which the serving pan can be inserted with its pan base. Furthermore, a pan with a removable pan handle is also known, which the applicant offers for sale, for example, under the name STONELINE ® Imagination PLUS braising pan 28 cm, with removable handles, with glass lid, induction. Finally, DE 94 20 672 U1 discloses a stainless steel handle for welding onto the wall of cookware or frying dishes or their lids or other household items, particularly those made of stainless steel, or for welding onto intermediate plates or similar intermediate elements made of stainless steel that can be attached to cookware or frying dishes or their lids or other household items. The handle has a rounded outer contour in the area of ​​the welding point, with the rounded edge resting against the wall of the dish, lid, intermediate plate or intermediate element, or object, and being welded to it in the contact area. German patent application DE 20 2008 008 299 U1 discloses a device for gripping a cookware. The device comprises a base part for attachment to a wall of the cookware, a handle part that is pivotable relative to the base part, a guide device that guides the handle part positively to the base part, and a locking device that locks the handle part into a working position. In KR 10 2001 0 105 105 A, a pot is disclosed consisting of a body, a first handle, and a second handle that serves as a pot stand. A bolt connects the first and second handles. The second handle is designed as a pot stand and is combined with the handle mounted on the body and rotated around the bolt. The handle is moved upwards to add food to the pot and heat it, and downwards to support the pot. A hole and a projection in the handle are shaped to prevent food from spilling out of the pot by folding the handle against an impact. The hole engages with the projection when the handle is extended to prevent it from folding over. The handle is attached to the bolt, and a coil spring is mounted within the bolt. The coil spring presses the handle against the handle, and the spring's restoring force causes it to extend. Task The object of the present invention is to provide a cooking or frying vessel that avoids the problems described above and can be placed on a surface, such as a dining table or a kitchen worktop, without a trivet when hot. Solution This problem is solved by a cooking or frying vessel with the features of claim 1. The cooking or roasting vessel according to the invention has at least two handles arranged opposite each other on the wall of the cooking or roasting vessel, wherein the at least two handles are foldable or pivotable. By folding or pivoting the handles, they form a support surface that extends beyond the base of the cooking or roasting vessel. When the cooking or roasting vessel is placed on a surface, a gap remains between this support surface formed by the folded or pivoted handles, on which the cooking or roasting vessel then rests, and the base of the cooking or roasting vessel, so that the base of the cooking or roasting vessel does not come into contact with the surface. In one embodiment of the invention, it is provided that each of the at least two handles consists of a first part and a second part, wherein the first part of the at least two handles is connected to the wall of the cooking or roasting vessel on the outside of the cooking or roasting vessel by means of a force-fit and / or form-fit connection, and a pivot axis is formed between the second part of the at least two handles and the first part of the at least two handles, about which the second part can be folded or pivoted relative to the first part of the at least two handles. To allow the handles to be folded or swivelled, they consist of two parts that can be folded or swivelled relative to each other. The first part of the handle is firmly attached to the cooking or roasting vessel. This is achieved through a force-fit and / or form-fit connection, for example, by welding the first part of the handle to the outer wall of the cooking or roasting vessel. Alternatively, the mechanical fastening can also be achieved by means of a screw connection between the wall of the cooking or roasting vessel and the first part of the handle, or by riveting. A pivot axis is formed between the first part of the handle and the second part, about which the second part of the handle can be folded or pivoted relative to the first part of the handle which is firmly attached to the cooking or roasting vessel, the folding or pivoting movement of the second part of the handle folding or pivoting it towards the bottom of the cooking or roasting vessel. In one embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the second part of the handle is preferably pivoted or folded relative to the first part in a first position or a second position, wherein in the first position the second part of the handle is folded or pivoted towards the wall of the first part and in this first position lies fully against the first part of the handle, and in the second position the second part of the handle is folded or pivoted away from the wall and the second part of the handle is directed essentially towards a bottom of the cooking or roasting vessel. It is advantageously provided that the second part of the handle, which is pivotable or foldable relative to the first part of the handle, is foldable or pivotable in a preferred first position and in a further preferred second position. In the first position, the second part of the handle is folded or pivoted towards the wall of the first part. In this position, the second part grips or at least partially encloses the first part, or vice versa. The two parts of the handle then essentially form a single unit and together constitute the handle. The second part of the handle rests partially against the first part of the handle, covering its entire surface. In the second position, the second part of the handle is folded or pivoted away around its pivot axis. From the first position to the second position, the second part of the handle folds or pivots downwards around its pivot axis, towards the bottom of the cooking or roasting vessel. Upon reaching the second position, the second part of the handle is essentially pointing towards the bottom of the cooking or roasting vessel.In this position, the second part of the handle is arranged so that it extends beyond the base of the cooking or roasting vessel, forming a support surface on which the vessel can be placed. However, the base of the vessel does not touch this surface, as the second part of the handle forms a support surface that lies below the base of the vessel. Therefore, when the vessel is placed on this support surface, a gap remains between the surface in contact with the support surface and the base of the vessel. This prevents the hot base of the vessel from coming into contact with this space. In one embodiment of the invention, the second part of the handle is arranged almost parallel to the first part in the first position and / or at least partially engages with, surrounds, or engages beneath it, with both parts together forming the handle. This creates the impression that the handle is a single piece. Furthermore, this makes the cooking or roasting vessel easier to store. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that in the second position the second part of the handle is arranged at an angle of at least ninety degrees to one hundred and thirty-five degrees relative to the first part of the handle, and the second part of the handle forms a support surface on its underside, so that the cooking or roasting vessel can be placed on a surface by means of these support surfaces. The second part of the handle is pivoted or folded into the second position on each side of the cooking or roasting vessel. In doing so, the second part is pivoted or folded around the pivot axis and extends beyond the base of the cooking or roasting vessel. It has proven particularly advantageous if, in the unfolded second position, the second part of the handle forms an angle of at least 90 to 135 degrees with respect to the first part of the handle, with the first part of the handle positioned almost parallel to the base of the cooking or roasting vessel. Choosing such an angle ensures that the cooking or roasting vessel rests securely on the surfaces formed by the second part of the handles. These surfaces allow the cooking or roasting vessel to be placed on a surface, such as a table, without the base of the vessel coming into contact with the table surface. In the embodiment of the invention, it is chosen that in the second position the second part of the handle with the base extends beyond the bottom of the cooking or roasting vessel. In the embodiment of the invention, it is chosen that in the second position, a distance remains between the bottom of the cooking or roasting vessel and the surface on which the cooking or roasting vessel stands by means of the support surfaces. In the embodiment of the invention, it is chosen that the distance is at least one centimeter and at most ten centimeters, preferably at most five centimeters. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that in both the first position and the second position, the first part and the second part of the handle lock together. A locking mechanism means that a part or parts lock into a position from which they can only be removed with a certain, predefined force. This ensures that the locked position is maintained even when a force is applied. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, a recess is provided on the first part and a raised section on the second part, the raised section and the recess being specifically designed to complement each other. When locked into place, the raised section engages in the corresponding recess, and it can only be released from the recess with a pre-set force. A recess is provided on the first part of the handle at both the first and second positions. A raised section is provided on the movable, i.e., foldable or pivotable, second part. When the second part is folded or pivoted, it rotates around the pivot axis relative to the first part, which is fixed to the cooking or roasting vessel. The raised section on the second part follows a curved path around the pivot axis. Upon reaching the first and second positions, the raised section on the second part of the handle engages in the corresponding recess on the first part, thus locking the two parts of the handle together. To achieve smooth rotation and folding, the pivot axis is designed as a guide with a spring element. Preferably, the spring element is designed as a tension spring that engages the pivot axis and pulls the first part of the handle onto the second part of the handle. In the embodiment of the invention, it is chosen that the handle has a through-opening and a handle part. In this embodiment of the invention, the handle part is cylindrical. Advantageously, the handle part is rotationally symmetrical. In the embodiment of the invention, it is chosen that the handle part is part of the first part of the handle and that the pivot axis runs through the rotation axis of the handle part and the through-hole is present in both the first part and the second part. In the embodiment of the invention, it is chosen that the cooking or frying vessel is a pan, a shallow pot, a serving pan, a baking pan, a pizza baking tray, a braising pan or a shallow braising pot. Further advantages, features, and design possibilities will become apparent from the following description of exemplary embodiments, which are not to be understood as limiting. The exemplary embodiments show a serving pan. Brief description of the drawings The invention is explained below using an embodiment of a serving pan as an example. The drawings show: Fig. 1 a perspective view of a serving pan; Fig. 2 a side view of a serving pan; Fig. 3 another perspective view of a serving pan; Fig. 4 another side view of a serving pan; In the drawings, elements designated with the same reference numerals are essentially equivalent to one another, unless otherwise indicated. Furthermore, components that are not essential for understanding the technical teaching disclosed herein are not shown or described. Additionally, reference numerals are not repeated for all elements already introduced and illustrated, provided that the elements themselves and their function have already been described or are known to a person skilled in the art. Detailed description of exemplary implementations Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a serving pan. The serving pan 1 has a base 6 and a wall 4. The basic shape of the serving pan 1 is rotationally symmetrical. The wall 4 is slightly concave, so that the diameter of the serving pan 1 increases slightly from the base 4 upwards. Two handles 2, 3 are attached to the outside of wall 4, opposite each other. This attachment can be achieved, for example, by welding a portion of the handle 2, 3 to the wall 4 of the serving pan 1. Alternatively, the handle 2, 3 can be screwed or riveted to the wall 4. Another connection method, such as gluing, is also possible. Each of the handles 2; 3 consists of two parts 21, 22; 31, 32. The first part 21; 31 of the handle 2; 3 is fixedly connected to the wall 4 of the serving pan 1. The second part 22; 32 of the handle 2; 3 is pivotally connected to the first part 21; 31 of the handle 2; 3, so that the second part 22; 32 of the handle 2; 3 can be pivoted or folded downwards towards the base 4 of the serving pan. However, various intermediate positions are also possible. The second part 22; 32 of the handle 2; 3, which is pivotable or foldable relative to the first part 21; 31 of the handle 2; 3, can be moved into a preferably first position and into a further preferably second position relative to the first part 21; 31 of the handle 2; 3. In the first position, the second part 22; 32 of the handle 2; 3 is folded or pivoted towards the wall 4 relative to the first part 21; 32. In this first position, shown in Fig. 1, the second part 22; 32 engages or encloses the first part 21; 31 at least partially. In this position, the first part 21; 31 and the two parts 22; 32 of the handle 2; 3 essentially form a unit and together constitute the handle 2; 3. In this first position, as shown in Fig. 1, the second part 22; 32 of the handle 2; 3 rests partially and fully against the first part 21; 31 of the handle 2; 3. The handle 2; 3 has an opening 8 and a handle part 9. The opening 8 is enclosed by the handle part 9 on the side opposite the wall 4. The handle part 9 is cylindrical and may also be rotationally symmetrical, and the pivot axis 5 runs through the handle part 9 along its axis of rotation, about which the second part 22; 32 of the handle 2; 3 can be folded or pivoted relative to the first part 21; 31 of the handle 2; 3. The opening 8 and the handle 9 allow the serving pan 1 to be easily held by one user. It is advantageous that the user can grip the serving pan securely with at least one finger or their thumb through the opening 8 and over the handle 9. Fig. 2 shows a side view of a serving pan. The handles 2; 3 are opposite each other and attached to the wall 4 of the serving pan 1 at the same distance from the base 4 of the serving pan 1. The second part 22; 32 of the handle 2; 3 is shown in the first position. In this first position, the second part 22; 32 at least partially engages or encloses the first part 21; 31 of the handle 2; 3. In this first position, the first part 21; 31 and the second part 22; 32 of the handle 2; 3 essentially form a unit and together constitute the handle 2; 3. In this first position, the second part 22; 32 of the handle 2; 3 rests partially and fully against the first part 21; 31 of the handle 2; 3. The pivot axis 5 passes through the first part 21; 31 and the second part 22; 32 of the handle 2; 3. 3 and the second part 22; 32 of the handle 2; 3 is pivotable relative to the first part 21; 22 of the handle 2; 3 or foldable or foldable from it. Fig. 3 shows another perspective view of a serving pan. In Fig. 3, the second part 22; 32 of the handle 2; 3 is shown in its second position, in which the second part 22; 32 of the handle 2; 3 is pivoted or folded down. The second part 22; 32 pivots downwards away from the wall 4 about the pivot axis 5. The second part 22; 32 is shown in its second position, which also represents the end position of the folding or pivoting. Upon reaching the second position, the second part 22; 32 of the handle 2; 3 is essentially folded or pivoted towards a base 6 of the serving pan 1. In this second position, the second part 22; 32 of the handle 2; 3 is positioned such that it projects beyond the base 6 of the serving pan 1 and forms a support surface 72; 73 by means of which the serving pan 1 can be placed on a surface. Since the second part 22; 32 of the handle 2; 3, with its support surface 72; 73, projects beyond the base 6 of the serving pan 1, the base 6 of the serving pan does not touch the surface of the area on which the serving pan 1 is placed by means of the support surfaces 72; 73. Thus, when the serving pan 1 is placed on these support surfaces 72; 73, a gap remains between the surface supported by the support surfaces 72; 73 is in contact with the base 6 of the serving pan 1, leaving a gap. This prevents the hot base 6 of the serving pan 1 from coming into contact with this surface. With the second parts 22; 23 of the handles 2; 3 folded down, the serving pan 1 can be placed on a surface and the bottom 6 of the serving pan 1 does not touch the surface of this surface. The handle 2; 3 in turn has the opening 8 and the handle part 9. The opening 8 is enclosed by the handle part 9 on the side opposite the wall 4. The handle part 9 is cylindrical and the pivot axis 5 runs through it, along whose axis of rotation the pivot axis 5 is located, about which the second part 22; 32 of the handle 2; 3 can be folded or pivoted relative to the first part 21; 31 of the handle 2; 3. The first part 21; 31 of the handle 2; 3 is firmly connected to the wall 4 of the serving pan 1. This connection is achieved by force-fit and / or form-fit, for example by welding the first part 21; 31 of the handle 2; 3 to the outside of the wall 4 of the serving pan 1. Alternatively, the mechanical fastening can again be achieved by means of a screw connection between the wall 4 of the serving pan 1 and the first part 21; 31 of the handle 2; 3, or by riveting. In the second position, the second part 22; 32 of the handle 2; 3 is arranged at an angle of at least ninety degrees to one hundred and thirty-five degrees to the first part 21; 31 of the handle 2; 3, and the second 22; 32 part of the handle 2, 3 forms a support surface 72; 73 on its underside. By choosing an angle of at least ninety degrees to one hundred and thirty-five degrees between the first part 21; 31 and the second part 22; 32, the serving pan 1 is securely positioned over the support surfaces 72; 72 of the second parts 22; 23 of the handles 2; 3. In the second position of the second parts 22; 32 of the handles 2; 3, a gap remains between the support surfaces 72; 73 and thus the surface on which the support surfaces 72; 73 rest and the base 6 of the serving pan 1, and the base 6 of the serving pan 1 does not come into contact with the surface of the area on which the serving pan 1 is placed. The length of the second parts 22; 32 of the handles 2; 3 is chosen such that a distance of at least one centimeter and at most ten centimeters, preferably at most five centimeters, remains between the bottom 6 of the serving pan 1 and the surface on which the serving pan 1 is placed in position 2 of the second parts 22; 32 of the handles 2; 3. Furthermore, the second parts 22; 32 of the handles 2; 3 lock together with the first parts 21; 31 of the handles 2; 3 in both the first position and the second position. A locking mechanism is understood to mean that a part or parts lock into a position from which they can only be removed with a certain predefined force. This ensures that the locking position is maintained even when a force is applied. A recess (not shown in Fig. 3) is provided on the first part 21; 31 of the handle 2; 3, and a raised section (not shown in Fig. 3) is formed on the second part 22; 32 of the handle 2; 3, with the raised section and the recess being specifically designed to correspond to each other. The recess can be a U-shaped or V-shaped indentation, and the raised section has a congruent shape. When locked, the raised section engages in the corresponding recess, and it can only be released from the recess with a pre-set force. Upon reaching the first and second positions of the second parts 22; 32 of the handles 2; 3, these lock into place with the first parts 21; 31 of the handles 2; 3 in the manner described. Fig. 4 shows another side view of a serving pan. The handles 2; 3 are attached opposite each other, equidistant from the base 6 of the serving pan 1, to the wall 4 of the serving pan 1. The second part 22; 32 of the handle 2; 3 is shown in the second position. The second part 22; 32 is folded away from the first part 21; 31 of the handle 2; 3. In this second position, the second parts 22; 32 of the handles 2; 3 form the support surfaces 72; 73. The support surfaces 72; 73 form a plane that is spaced apart from the base 6 of the serving pan 1. The second parts 22; 32 of the handles 2; 3 with the support surfaces 72; 73 project beyond the base 6 of the serving pan 1. The second parts 22; 32 are foldable or pivotable via the pivot axes 5 relative to the first parts 21; 31 which are fixedly arranged on the serving pan 1. Although the invention has been further illustrated and described in detail by the advantageous embodiments, the invention is not limited by the disclosed examples. Other variations can be derived by a person skilled in the art without departing from the scope of protection of the invention. In particular, the invention is not limited to the combinations of features specified below, but other combinations and partial combinations of the disclosed features that are obviously executable by a person skilled in the art can also be formed.
