Abstract
A catch pan for a standard broiler includes a trough extending behind the grille below the level of the grille surface. One side of the trough hooks over the ridge present in the standard broiler, and the other side of the trough extends upward to form a stop plate for debris scraped from the grille. Handles permit the catch pan to be lifted off the ridge for cleaning.
Claims7
A removable catch pan for receiving and holding debris scraped from a grille of a standard broiler over a rear edge thereof, wherein the rear edge of the broiler is about at the level of the grille, the catch pan comprising a trough in the form of a relatively narrow, elongated container having an open top and closed bottom, the container having a relatively low front wall on an elongated side of the container and a relatively high back wall on an opposite elongated side of the container, the catch pan further including mounting means for removably mounting the catch pan at the rear edge of the broiler in a position such that debris scraped over the rear edge of the broiler passes over the top edge of the front wall and falls into the container for collection, the back wall of the container extending above the top edge of the front wall a sufficient distance that debris scraped forcefully from the rear edge of the broiler strides the back wall and is deflected into the container, the catch pan being manually removable to remove debris from the container.
