Abstract
A protective liner for vessels such as cooking pans, which have interior surfaces either natural or covered with thin, nonstick coatings. The liner protects the interior surfaces from damage during manufacturing, packing, shipping, unpacking and display by covering the surfaces. The liner also prevents vessels from binding together when they are nested, by spacing the vessels to prevent tight insertion of one vessel within another. The liner is made of a thin flexible material. Its edge section grasps the rim of the vessel to be protected, while its bottom web section and spacer web section substantially cover the interior surfaces of the vessel.
