Frying pan with mechanisms for preventing oil splashing and fire occurrence

DETAILED DESCRIPTION An object of the present invention is to provide a lid plate capable of covering an entire opening surface of a frying pan so as to prevent the oil splashing from the frying pan during the cooking.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a mounting mechanism for detachably mounting the lid plate on the frying pan, so that the lid plate can be removed when the pan is either used for frying cooking that makes the lid inconvenient or when the oil splashing is almost non-existent, and the lid plate can be installed in place when it is used for frying which involves strong oil splashing or is used for cooking fried food as in a deep-fat frying pan.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a transparent lid plate to enable a user to see through the inside of the frying pan from the outside.
A still further object of the present invention is to provide a gas discharging passageway having a ventilating gap between the lid plate and an edge of opening portion of the frying pan so that the oil does not splash and, the vapor or oil smoke generated in the frying pan is made to be discharged outside to thereby prevent the lid plate from collecting moisture which assures that the inside of the frying pan can be seen through positively.
A particular object of the present invention is to prevent the inflow of air from the outside by limiting the ventilating gap provided between the lid plate and the edge of the opening portion of the frying pan to a minimum, and to promote oxygen deficient condition in the frying pan so as to prevent the occurrence of fire.
