page_text: I LILIAS PHILLOTT of 27 Perham Road, West Kensington in the county of
Middlesex, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
=
The object of this cooking utensil is to turn fish & in the frying pan, as they
are apt to be spoiled when turned over with a fork in the usual manner.
The utensil consists of a shallow cage or basket preferably hinged at one side so
that it can be opened and the fish inserted; this cage is carried on trunnions in a
forked handle so that it can be turned over without the necessity for opening it.
The basket is preferably made of metal wire so that the melted dripping may have
free access to the fish within.
In use the fish is placed in the basket which is then put in the frying pan by
means of the handle; it is removed and the basket with the fish inside turned
over as required and replaced in the pan.
This invention can also be used as a grid-iron for
which can then be turned over without using tongs.

page_text: I, LILIAS PHILLOTT, of 27 Perham Road, West Kensington, do hereby declare
the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
The object of this cooking utensil is to turn fish &c in the frying pan, as they
are apt to be spoiled when turned over with a fork in the usual manner.
The utensil consists of a shallow cage or basket preferably hinged at one side so
that it can be opened and the fish inserted; this cage is carried on trunnions in a
forked handle so that it can be turned over without the necessity for opening it.
The basket is preferably made of metal wire so that the melted dripping may have
free access to the fish within.
In use the fish is placed in the basket which is then put in the frying pan by
means of the handle it is removed and the basket with the fish inside turned
over as required and replaced in the pan.
:
This invention can also be used as a gridiron for grilling steaks and the like
which can then be turned over without using tongs.
And in order that my said invention may be particularly described and ascer-
tained, reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings, in which similar
letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
Fig. 1 is a plan of my invention, shewing the cage open, ready to receive the
article to be cooked. Fig. 2 shews the same closed, and Fig. 3 is a side view of
the same. a a are the two portions of the basket or cage, hinged together at b,
preferably with an elastic hinge. c is the clip, for holding the cage in a closed
position when in use. d is the handle, which is forked, as shewn, to receive the
trunnions or centre pins e e, upon which pins the cage is capable of revolving, as
shewn in Fig. 3, for turning over the article, while cooking.
In some cases I find it advantageous to make the cage or receptacle of sheet
metal, instead of open wire work, for cooking articles which the cage would be
incapable of securing effectually.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is :-
The manufacture and use of cooking utensils, mounted on gudgeons, working in
and sustained by a forked handle, substantially as herein before described and
shewn on the drawings.
