Abstract
A cooking pot apparatus includes a pot and a food holder or perforated liner. The food holder can be a turkey frying device, for example. A drip rack can be used to support the food holder or liner above the pot. During use, the liner can be placed upon the pot upper annular rim. The drip rack then provides a pair of angularly disposed sections that can support the liner. Bends on the rack prevent the rack from sliding laterally off the pot.
Claims31
A cooking pot apparatus comprising:
- a) a pot having an interior, a side wall, a bottom, an open top, and an annular upper rim with a diameter;
- b) a perforated liner that fits the pot interior, the liner having a bottom and a side wall and a portion that can be lifted for enabling the liner to be placed into the pot interior and to be removed from the pot interior;
- c) a drip rack that can be fitted to the pot at the annular rim, the drip rack comprised of a one-piece length of stock having a plurality of bends, one of the bends orienting the length of stock in a generally folded shape that defines a plane, and at least some of the bends bending away from the plane to define a plurality of retainers that prevent a sliding of the drip rack laterally away from the pot;
- and
- d) the drip rack being sized to support the liner when placed thereon.
