The cooking flower serves as a multifunctional kitchen tool and replaces the traditional pot lid. It reliably prevents liquids from boiling over by directing bubbling water through a flexible flower shape. The water condenses on the surface and flows back into the pot. This allows the cooking process to proceed without constant supervision. Furthermore, the cooking flower also serves as a splash guard and can be used for steaming with the inner flower closed. Its heat resistance enables use in both the oven and the microwave. This versatile usability supports a flexible and time-saving kitchen routine.
