The 'Smart Cover' pot lid comes as a dual-purpose piece of equipment for the kitchen that will allow you to keep using it even after the cooking process has finished. Featuring a shifting design, the lid allows you to cover the pot during cooking and be turned when placed on the table to let you place the cooking equipment directly on it. This both props up the pot and protects the surface to ensure you can use the same equipment for serving as you do for cooking.
The 'Smart Cover' pot lid is the design work of Qi Qiu, Ziwei Wang, Jinghe Zhang, Zedequan Rong and Min Zhao, and acknowledges a growing need for multipurpose kitchen equipment by avid cooking consumers.
