A cooking device including cooking chamber, e.g. abraising pan, and a lid pivotally mounted to the chamber and arranged to be raised from a closed position to an open position and vice versa. The chamber includes plural sidewalls, each having a top edge lying in a common plane. The lid includes a top wall with an apron projecting downwardly from the top wall along the front and sides of its periphery. A pair of handles to raise and lower the lid are provided on the sides of the apron. A drip shield projects upward at an angle to the top wall of the lid along a rear portion of the periphery of the lid. The drip shield has a lower free edge which is spaced above the top edge of the cooking chamber when the lid is in the closed position to form a vent for excess steam to exit from the cooking chamber. The apron forms a convection flow space between it and the sidewalls of the cooking chamber. The convection flow space is in communication with the excess steam vent, whereupon air may enter between the apron and the sidewalls of the cooking chamber and flow in a convection flow path to cool the apron. Excess steam produced by the operation of the cooking device is carried through the vent by the convention current flowing through the flow path. The drip shield enables a portion of excess steam to condense on the drip shield for collection and removal. A torque tube is provided extending along but spaced from the drip shield to prevent twisting of the lid when it is raised and lowered. A spring operated piston is provided to facilitate raising and lowering of the lid.

[ I claim:] [1.] A lid for a cooking device having a cooking chamber in the form of a hollow base including abase wall and sidewalls upstanding from the base wall, each of the sidewalls of the cooking chamber having a top edge, said lid being arranged to be pivotally mounted with respect to said cooking chamber and movable from a closed position to an open position and vice versa, said lid having a top wall, an apron projecting downwardly from said top wall along a portion of the periphery of said top wall, and a drip shield projecting upward at an angle to said top wall along another portion of the periphery of said top wall, said drip shield having a lower free edge spaced above the top edge of the cooking chamber when said lid is in said closed position to form a vent for excess steam to exit from the cooking chamber, said apron forming a convection flow space between it and the sidewalls of the cooking chamber contiguous with the top edge of the sidewalls of the cooking chamber, said convection flow space being in communication with said vent, whereupon air may enter between said apron and the sidewalls of the cooking chamber and flow in a convection flow path to cool said apron, with excess steam produced by the operation of said cooking device being carried through said vent, and with a portion of said excess steam being enabled to condense on said drip shield for collection and removal.
