1t is to rest. To provide a pan which
will overcome these objections and

quickly removed without breaking the
egg in the least, a Georgia man has
designed the egg poaching pan shown
in the illustration. This pan has per-
forations in the sides, the latter be-
ing Of a continuous strip of sheet
metal shaped to poach two eggs at
the same time. The pan has a sliding
bottom operated by an upright handle
at one end. In operation the eggs
are broken in the pan and the sides
being perforated there will be free
circulation of the water. After the
eggs have been thoroughly poached
the pan with the egg therein can be
removed from the skillet, and in Or
der to deposit the eggs it is only nee
essary to slide the bottom from be-
meath the sides and the egg will drop
upon the toast or other article upon
which it is to be placed.
