Complete Specification Left, 2nd Oct., 1897-Accepted, 11th Dec., 1897
ALBERT JOBSON GEE The Laurels, Queen Street Horncastle Lincolnshire Printer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The addition of a small vessel on the outside of the end or side of a pie dish to be
made in earthenware or other suitable substance, holes or slots to be made in the end
or side of pie dish so that the gravy or other liquid may pass from the inside of the pie
dish into the little vessel on the outside end or side of pie dish, and as the amount of
liquid inside pie dish will correspond with amount of liquid in outside vessel, the cook
will know by looking into outside vessel when to add liquid or take therefrom, thus
being able to keep proper amount of moisture inside the pie whilst baking; the vessel
on the outside end or side of pie dish being open at the top allows the steam to
escape, thus preventing the pie crust becoming too moist.

ALBERT JOBSON GEE Printer Queen Street Horncastle, Lincolnshire England, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention consists of a completely new form of Pie Dish with an extended
receptacle, and steam escape openings,
"
Fig. 1. Is a view looking straight down into the Pie Dish. "A is the outer vessel
or extended receptacle communicating by holes or Slots "B" with the Pie Dish
proper. The exact level of the Gravy in a meat pie, or the syrup of a fruit pie will be
shown in the extended receptacle. This gives the cook the advantage of adjusting the
amount of Gravy or syrup at the same time allowing the Gravy to be tasted and
flavoured without disturbing the crust. The top hole "B" allows the steam to escape
out through the top of the receptacle "A" this is also greatly assisted by a sort of
tube or hole made in the flange of the pie dish "C" or by a little tube passing through
the side (like a teapot spout) this tube can be made in the substance used in making
the Pie Dish, this tube like openings can be inade in any number and at any part of
the dish flange, I prefer it at the end when used in connection with the receptacle "A"
without a receptacle I prefer them to be at the sides. The flange is made
with a lip or hanging over protector just above the hole "B1" and the opening into
tube "C" to prevent the freshly made paste crust from falling over these openings
and closing them up.

page_text: Fig. 2. Shows more clearly the openings for Steam and gravy to pass from the
Dish into the outer vessel "A" this outer, receptacle can be made all in one piece
with the dish on the moulds, and the dividing partitions containing the holes or
slots "B" to be the piece added which at once makes the pie dish into the required
two parts like Fig 1.
Fig. 3. Shows the Pie Dish from the top,side view showing the outside shape of
the receptacle "A" and the tube in the flange "C."
Fig. 4. Is a sectional view, and shows the Pie Dish in Baking order with a crust on
the Dish "D" the height of liquid in the dish and receptacle "A" will be seen to
be the same level; the top.hole"B" and tube in the flange "C" showing the process
of steam escaping from the inside of dish.
Having now particularly 'described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare what
claim is :-
I
First. In a pie-dish an extension such as "A" communicating with the interior
of 'the dish, substantially as.and for the purpose.described.
Second. A pie-dish having one or more ventilating openings such as "B" or "B1"
substantially as.and for the purpose described.
Third. In a pie-dish: the combination with an extension such as "A" of one or
