Abstract

A mixing bowl assembly includes a bowl that has handles extending outwardly from the bowl. A lid is selectively coupled to the bowl. The lid includes an outer circumferential frame and grasping portions that extend outwardly from the outer circumferential frame. A planar wooden trivet is selectively coupled with the lid, wherein the planar wooden trivet defines at least a servicing position of the lid. A glass dome is selectively coupled to the planar wooden trivet and includes a handgrip that is selectively disposed within the bowl.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A mixing bowl assembly for an appliance, comprising:
a bowl having at least one attachment feature and configured to selectively couple to a body of said appliance via the at least one attachment feature;
a lid selectively and operably coupled to the bowl and including an outer circumferential frame and an inner circumferential lip, the lid defining a depressed support surface proximate the inner circumferential lip;
a planar wooden trivet having a perimeter rim that selectively engages the lid, wherein the planar wooden trivet is selectively disposed on the depressed support surface of the lid in a serving position of the lid; and
a dome selectively disposed within the bowl in a storage configuration, the dome being selectively coupled to the perimeter rim of the planar wooden trivet proximate the outer circumferential frame of the lid.

2. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 1 , wherein the at least one attachment feature defines a base of the bowl.

3. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 1 , wherein the at least one attachment feature includes a first attachment feature and a second attachment feature, and wherein the first attachment feature and the second attachment feature are each configured to couple with projections defined by the body of said appliance.

4. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 1 , wherein the serving position of the lid is further defined by the dome being selectively coupled to the perimeter rim of the planar wooden trivet.

5. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 1 , wherein the depressed support surface of the lid is configured to receive a food good in a proofing position and a baking position of the lid.

6. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 5 , wherein the inner circumferential lip of the lid defines a mating engagement with the bowl in at least the baking position.

7. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 6 , wherein the mating engagement defined between the lid and the bowl further defines a controlled airflow system.

8. A mixing bowl assembly, comprising:
a bowl including handles extending outwardly from the bowl;
a lid selectively coupled to the bowl, the lid including an outer circumferential frame and grasping portions extending outwardly from the outer circumferential frame;
a planar trivet selectively coupled with the lid, wherein the planar trivet defines at least a serving position of the lid; and
a glass dome selectively coupled to the planar trivet, the glass dome including a handgrip selectively disposed within the bowl.

9. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 8 , wherein the planar trivet is comprised of wood.

10. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 9 , wherein the handles each define detents, and wherein the detents of the handles are selectively coupled with the grasping portions of the lid.

11. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 8 , wherein the lid is coupled to the bowl and supports the bowl in a baking position.

12. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 11 , wherein a controlled airflow system is defined between the bowl and the lid in the baking position.

13. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 8 , wherein the glass dome, the planar wooden trivet, and the lid define a nested storage configuration when the handgrip of the glass dome is disposed within the bowl.

14. A mixing bowl assembly, comprising:
a bowl;
a lid operably coupled to the bowl and having an outer circumferential frame and an inner circumferential lip, the lid defining a depressed support surface proximate the inner circumferential lip;
a planar wooden trivet having a perimeter rim that engages the inner circumferential lip of the lid, the planar wooden trivet selectively disposed on the depressed support surface of the lid; and
a glass dome selectively disposed within the bowl and having a handgrip, the glass dome being selectively coupled to the perimeter rim of the planar wooden trivet proximate to the outer circumferential frame of the lid.

15. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 14 , wherein the bowl includes a first handle and a second handle, and wherein the first handle and the second handle each define detents.

16. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 15 , wherein the lid includes a first grasping portion and a second grasping portion, and wherein the first grasping portion and the second grasping portion engage the detents defined by each of the first handle and the second handle, respectively.

17. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 14 , wherein the bowl includes a recessed base, and wherein the handgrip of the glass dome is selectively disposed within the recessed base of the bowl in a nested storage position.

18. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 17 , wherein the glass dome and the planar wooden trivet are disposed within the bowl and the outer circumferential frame of the lid is coupled to the bowl to define the nested storage position.

19. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 14 , wherein the planar wooden trivet is coupled to the lid to define a serving position.

20. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 19 , wherein the serving position is further defined by the planar wooden trivet being disposed on the depressed support surface of the lid and the perimeter rim of the planar wooden trivet being coupled to the inner circumferential lip of the lid.
