This invention relates to cooking utensils, and more particularly to a erforate basket adapted to be employed wit a stew pan in cooking foods in deep fat, such as French like; and the 0b]60t of the invention is to provide an open-work basket adapted to fit within a stew an, and having a handle ar- -ranged to be ocated coextensive with the in order that the two handles may be grasped together when the basket is in the stew pan, the handle of the basket having a down-turned end ortion adapted to rest upon the handle of t e stew and feet being provided upon the asket for engagement with the rim lip of the stew pan in order that the basket may be supported out of the fat to permit the food to be drained while kept at a maximum dropping backinto the pan.

An embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, 1n which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the imbasket showing the same supstew pan for draining, and,

ported upon a asket Fig. 2, a similar view showing the in osition within the stew an.

imilar numerals of re erence indicate corresponding parts throughout the drawbe of any well known design, and rovided with may be met wood or any other usual construction. The improved frying basket 3, to which the invention pertains, is preferably formed of wire, and of a size to conveniently fit within the stew pan 1.

The rim of the wire frying basket may be reinforced b a heavier wire 4, from which may be a so formed the wire handle 5, preferably twisted at 6, and extended from the basket at an angle there-V 8W8. to, the outer end portion of this handle being open as at 7, and terminating in the down-turned foot portion 8, havin the concaved lower end 9, arranged to e seate upon the handle 2 of the stew pan when the basket is in position for draining, as shown in Fig. 1.

doughnuts and the a a handle 2 which 1 edge of the receptac Application tor in the curved feet 11 located substantial- 1y at the bottom'of the wire basket and arranged to enga e pan to drain t e contents of the same, as shown in Fig. v1.

, When it is desired to fry food in deep fat, the food is placed in the wire basket 3, which is then positioned within the stew pan 1, as shown in ig. 2, the stew pan being of course filled to the desired depth with hot fat. It will be seen that with the basket in this position the handle 2 of the stew pan is received through the 0 en down-turned foot portion 8 of the has et handle, thus locating the two handles together and in position to be grasped in one hand if it is necessary to move the utensil.

'hen the food has been properly cooked, it is necessary that all of the superfl fat be drained from the same, and with the present utensil this is easily and readily accomplished by raising the basket out of the fat and placing the same over the stew pan, the feet 11 of the basket engaging the rim edge of the stew pan, and the downturned foot 8 of the basket handle resting upon the handle of the stew pan. The basket is thus held out of the fat and the food is maintained at a maximum temperature while draining, all of the superfluous fat draining from the food back into the stew I claim:
