PCT No. PCT/US98/10382 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 19, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 19, 1999 PCT Filed May 22, 1998 PCT Pub. No. WO98/52669 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 26, 1998A steam pan manipulation device (16) is provided for handling stainless steel pans (10), commonly known as steam pans or hotel pans, of varying sizes as found in commercial restaurant, catering, and hotel applications for use in steam tables. Use of the device (16) permits the worker to safely carry a tray full of liquid without sloshing, since the center of gravity of the liquid is lower than the point of carrying. Furthermore, the steam pan manipulation device (16) features apertures of an appropriate size, so that the device may be also used as a strainer for separating liquid from the content of the tray while retaining solid content in the tray. |
