Abstract
The invention is a steam-table pan formed of drawn metal sheet, the pan having a pinch-gripping bead including a gripping-skirt which is configured and vertically dimensioned for pinch-gripping of the bead with an adult's fingers to raise the pan from the steam table. The configuration of the steam-table pan provides substantially enhanced deformation resistance without a corresponding increase in thickness of the metal sheet.
