Abstract

A set of handles is provided for gripping a first cooking culinary article that includes a first container, and a second cooking culinary article that includes a second container. These containers can be stacked in a stationary stacked position. Each handle includes a stud and/or a housing defined at least partly by a hollow zone of the handle, and a locking protrusion adapted to engage a reception zone and/or a reception zone adapted to engage a locking protrusion. The housing and/or stud of the first handle can engage with the housing and/or stud of the second handle for holding the containers superimposed in the stationary stacked position in which the first container does not contact the second container. The locking protrusion and/or reception zone of the first handle can engage with the locking protrusion and/or reception zone of the second handle, with the locking protrusion located along a vertical wall of the stud, and the reception zone located along a vertical wall of the housing.
