A cooking vessel having a handle for supporting a lid is described. The handle may include an upper support member having an upper arcuate body coupled to the cooking vessel at opposite ends and a lower support member having a lower arcuate body coupled to the cooking vessel at opposite ends. The lower arcuate body and the upper arcuate body may define a receiving space for receiving the cooking vessel lid. The upper support member and the lower support member may have sheet like portions. The support members may further be dimensioned to support the lid within the receiving space at an angle from a side of the cooking vessel of between 45 degrees and 90 degrees.
