A lid holding device is composed of an elongate sliding member held within a mounting base. The sliding member travels linearly with respect to the mounting base. The sliding member has a retainer clip. The mounting base has a pair of retainer clips connected to wing sections angling outward from the mounting base. The retainer clips engage the rim of a lid to hold it in place. The sliding member can travel to increase the distance between the retainer clips, thus accommodating a wide range of lid diameters.

What is claimed is: 1. A device for holding a cooking container lid, the device comprising a mounting base having a center section, wherein the center section defines a slot; a left wing section connected with the center section, wherein the left wing section further comprises a first retainer clip
What is claimed is: 1. A device for holding a cooking container lid, the device comprising a mounting base having a center section, wherein the center section defines a slot; a left wing section connected with the center section, wherein the left wing section further comprises a first retainer clip; a right wing section connected with the center section, wherein the right wing section further comprises a second retainer clip; and an intermediate section disposed between the center section and each of the left wing section and the right wing section, wherein the center section is contained within a first plane; the intermediate section is contained within a second plane; the left wing section and the right wing section arc both contained within a third plane; the first plane, the second plane, and the third plane are parallel to each other; the first plane is spaced apart from the second plane; the second plane is spaced apart from the third plane; and the first plane is spaced apart from the third plane; and an elongate sliding member, wherein the sliding member further comprises a third retainer clip; and the sliding member both travels within and is retained within the slot. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein the mounting base is of unitary construction. 3. The device of claim 2, wherein the left wing section is connected with the intermediate section by a first transition step; the right wing Section 15 connected with the intermediate section by a second transition step; the center section is connected with the intermediate section along a first edge by a third transition step; and the center section is connected with the intermediate section along a second edge by a fourth transition step. 4. The device of claim 2, wherein the intermediate section further comprises a left flange and a right flange; the center section defines a window opening, wherein a first portion of the center section extends above the window opening, and a second portion of the center section extends below the window opening; and wherein the left flange and the right flange extend behind the window opening to meet at a seam. 5. The device of claim 1, wherein the slot is defined by the space between the center section and the intermediate section. 6. The device of claim 1 further comprising a retention panel connected with the intermediate section and positioned opposite the center section, wherein the slot is further defined by the retention panel. 7. The device of claim 1 further comprising a retention panel connected with the intermediate section and positioned opposite the center section, wherein the slot is further defined by the retention panel; and an elastic member; wherein the sliding member is curved about a longitudinal axis to define a convex surface on a rear side of the sliding member; the elastic member is attached at a first end to the sliding member; the elastic member is attached at a second end to the retention panel; and the elastic member is substantially housed within boundaries defined by the convex surface of the sliding member. 8. A device for holding a cooking container lid, the device comprising a mounting base having a center section, wherein the center section defines a slot; a left wing section connected with the center section, wherein the left wing section further comprises a first retainer clip; and a right wing section connected with the center section, wherein the right wing section further comprises a second retainer clip; and an elongate sliding member, wherein the sliding member further comprises a third retainer clip; and the sliding member both travels within and is retained within the slot; and wherein the center section is spaced apart from the left wing section by a left intermediate section, and the center section is spaced apart from the right wing section by a right intermediate section, wherein both the left and right intermediate sections are in a second plane parallel to the center section in a first plane; the center section is connected with the left intermediate section along a first edge by a first transition step; and the center section is connected with the right intermediate section along a second edge by a second transition step; and wherein the left wing section and the right wing section each define a mounting aperture. 9. The device of claim 8, wherein the sliding member is curved about a longitudinal axis to define a convex surface on a rear side of the sliding member. 10. The device of claim 9 further comprising an elastic member, wherein the elastic member is attached at a first end to the sliding member; the elastic member is attached at a second end to the mounting base; and the elastic member is substantially housed within boundaries defined by the convex surface of the sliding member. 11. The device of claim 8, wherein the first retainer clip, the second retainer clip, and third retainer clip each further comprise a corresponding shelf; and a corresponding lip, wherein each corresponding shelf is connected with and generally orthogonal to the right wing section, the left wing section, and the sliding member, respectively; and each corresponding lip is connected with and generally orthogonal to the respective corresponding shelf. 12. The device of claim 8, wherein the first retainer clip is oriented at a first angle with respect to an orientation of the third retainer clip and the second retainer clip is oriented at a second angle with respect to the orientation of the third retainer clip. 13. The device of claim 12, wherein the first angle is equal and opposite to the second angle. 14. The device of claim 8, wherein the sliding member further comprises a retention member, and wherein the third retainer clip is disposed on a first end of the sliding member; the retention member is disposed on a second end of the sliding member; and the retention member is adapted to engage the mounting base to arrest the travel of the sliding member within the slot. 15. The device of claim 8, wherein the device is composed of a metal or metal alloy selected from the group consisting of: aluminum, stainless steel, copper, nickel, tin, titanium, and brass. 16. The device of claim 8, wherein the device is composed of a plastic or composite material. 17. The device of claim 8, wherein at least one of the sliding member, the left wing section, and the right wing section is adapted to extend telescopically.
