Abstract

An improved cooking device is provided for fat-free or low-fat frying of foods. A combination frying pan and removable insert allows the drainage of excess fat without interruption of the cooking operation. Fat is collected on the convex cooking surface of the insert and drains radially outward toward apertures disposed above a grease reservoir located in the outer bottom periphery of the frying pan. The insert overlies the reservoir and may be easily removed and replaced during the cooking operation. The pan fits over standard size electric burners.
