Abstract

A mixing bowl assembly includes a bowl. A lid is removably coupled to the bowl and includes an outer circumferential frame and an inner circumferential lip. The lid defines a depressed support surface. A planar wooden trivet has a perimeter rim configured to engage the depressed support surface of the lid. A dome is removably coupled to the perimeter rim of the planar wooden trivet proximate the outer circumferential frame of the lid.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A mixing bowl assembly, comprising:
a bowl;
a lid removably coupled to the bowl and including an outer circumferential frame and an inner circumferential lip, the lid defining a depressed support surface;
a planar wooden trivet having a perimeter rim configured to engage the depressed support surface of the lid; and
a dome removably 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 , further comprising:
a storage configuration in which the dome and the planar wooden trivet are positioned within the bowl.

3. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 2 , wherein a base of the bowl is recessed.

4. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 3 , wherein a handgrip of the dome is disposed within the recessed base when in the storage configuration.

5. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 4 , wherein in the storage configuration, the lid is disposed over the planar wooden trivet and is coupled to the bowl, such that the inner circumferential lip of the lid defines a mating engagement with the bowl.

6. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 1 , wherein the dome is generally smaller than the bowl, such that the dome is configured to fit within the bowl.

7. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 1 , further comprising:
first and second handles outwardly extending from the bowl proximate to an upper edge of the bowl.

8. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 7 , further comprising:
a first attachment feature and a second attachment feature, wherein the first attachment feature and the second attachment feature are each configured to couple with projections defined by a mixing appliance.

9. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 8 , wherein the first and second handles generally align with the first and second attachment features.

10. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 9 , wherein the lid includes first and second grasping portions that are correspondingly configured with the first and second handles of the bowl, respectfully.

11. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 10 , wherein each handle includes detents that are operably coupled with each grasping portion.

12. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 11 , wherein to minimize rotation of the lid relative to the bowl, the detents engage an outer ridge of each of the grasping portions.

13. 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 trivet selectively coupled with the lid, wherein the trivet includes a perimeter rim disposed between first and second serving surfaces, wherein the first serving surface is engaged with the lid; and
a dome selectively coupled to the second serving surface of the trivet, the dome including a handgrip selectively disposed within the bowl.

14. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 13 , wherein the perimeter rim is at least partially concealed within the lid.

15. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 13 , wherein a diameter of the first serving surface is less than a diameter of the perimeter rim.

16. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 13 , wherein the lid includes an inner circumferential lip opposite the outer circumferential frame.

17. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 16 , wherein the lid also defines a depressed support surface proximate the inner circumferential lip.

18. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 13 , further comprising:
a storage configuration in which the dome and the trivet are positioned within the bowl and beneath the lid.

19. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 13 , wherein the trivet is disposed on the dome such that the perimeter rim of the trivet rests on a circumferential edge of the dome.

20. The mixing bowl assembly of claim 13 , wherein the dome is made from a glass material.
