No. 14120.—14th October, 1901.—ALEXANDER COLIN MURRAY, of Cromwell, New Zealand, Sharebroker. Combined frying-pan-lid and strainer.*

Extract from Specification.—The objects of this invention are to provide a lid for a frying-pan which allows the escape of steam whilst cooking is proceeding, and at the same time prevents fat splashing from the frying-pan over the range or fire; and it can also be used for straining purposes at other times. Fig. 1 is a plan, Fig. 2 is a section, of my invention. I effect these objects by making a dish 1 in shape to fit the edge of the frying-pan, with a narrow rim 2 fitting inside that edge, and a flange 3 projecting over it. The dish is preferably shaped like an ordinary bowl with the bottom uppermost, and this bottom is perforated with holes 5 to allow of the escape of the steam from the frying-pan. Fastened to this perforated bottom is another preferably bowl-shaped vessel 4, bottom downwards, with the bottom removed. This second bowl 4 is preferably smaller than the first one, and when the device is used as a lid serves as a handle to remove it from the frying-pan when it is desired to examine or turn the contents thereof. The device with the small end uppermost can be used for straining gravy and the like, and with the large end uppermost can be used as a colander.
Claim.—The general construction, arrangement, and combination of parts composing my “combined frying-pan-lid and strainer,” all substantially as and for the purposes described with reference to the drawings.
