What if the biggest safety upgrade for your RV wasn’t a new braking system or backup camera, but your cookware?
Eric Leblanc, founder of Angel Guard Cookware, joins us on this episode of Beyond The Wheel to discuss an innovation that challenges something we’ve all taken for granted for generations: cookware that sits on a burner and relies on gravity to stay in place.
Eric responded to preventable kitchen-burn emergencies when children pulled hot liquids from a stove and sustained injuries. Those experiences inspired him to create something that could help prevent similar accidents before they happen.
The result is Angel Guard, the world’s first locking cookware system designed specifically for RVs. Its patented quarter-turn locking system securely fastens pots and pans to the burner grate. This helps prevent cookware from sliding or tipping during travel, on uneven campsites, or during everyday cooking. When finished, the cookware unlocks in seconds for cleaning and storage.
During our conversation, we discussed:
- How Eric’s career as a firefighter inspired Angel Guard.
- The real-world problem Angel Guard was created to solve.
- How an idea became a patented product and a growing business.
- How the quarter-turn locking system works.
- The engineering challenges behind designing locking cookware.
- The materials and coatings used to create safer cookware.
- Why Angel Guard is especially well-suited for RVs and other mobile lifestyles.
- Stackability, storage, and making the most of small RV kitchens.
- Performance on propane, induction, and other cooking surfaces.
- The future of cookware safety and where Angel Guard is headed next.
Whether you travel in a motorhome, fifth wheel, travel trailer, van, or care about making your kitchen safer, this conversation offers an interesting look at how one innovation could change the way we think about cooking on the road.
