Abstract
A stock pot strainer is adapted for use in separating the liquids from the solids in a large stock pot. The stock pot strainer comprises an elongated, inverted U-shaped member having a base, an exterior arm and an interior arm. The elongated, U-shaped member is adapted to slide over a sidewall of a stock pot with said sidewall being captured between the interior arm and the exterior arm. The distal end of the exterior arm has a handle mounted thereon while the distal end of the interior arm has a grip mounted thereon. The grip is adapted to frictionally engage an interior sidewall of a stock pot. A strainer element extends laterally from the interior arm in a direction opposite the exterior arm at a position proximate to the base. The strainer element is adapted to retain solids within a stock pot and allow the liquids to drain therefrom.
